Mostly. I just chop garlic
I hated my garlic press - difficult to clean, and not good with arthritic hands.
Now I have a garlic grater - a little porcelain saucer with spikes. It's very effficient and only needs a rinse under the tap, or chuck it in the dishwasher. Cheap to buy.
Works well for ginger too.
Ginger/garlic/tamari/olive oil marinade Mmmmm
