# Scraping Seasoning Extractors The Garlic Press' Gets More Out of Your Ingredients with Less Mess By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-05-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-press References: [apostrophe-ivandesign](http://www.apostrophe-ivandesign.com/design.php?proid=3) I don't know about you, but I often opt to chop my cloves with a knife rather than prepare them for cooking in a typical garlic press. Finally, the frustrating features of this common kitchen implement are eliminated in the A'postrophe Garlic Press' design. Like other utensils of its sort, the culinary contraption has a pair of handles that are intended to be squeezed together. What you have instead of one indented receptacle, however, is a much broader curved surface with perforations that let more crushed garlic through. The component that compresses the bulbs can get right up against that surface to encourage greater yield. What's different about the A'postrophe Garlic Press' is that it integrates a scraper on the outside. As you open and close the utensil, the escaping ingredient is scooped off and into your dish, not requiring your fingers or a knife. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Enhanced Kitchen Utensils:** The A'postrophe Garlic Press' design is an example of how integrating additional features into traditional kitchen utensils can enhance the user experience and increase efficiency. - **Mess-reduction Tools:** The incorporation of a built-in scraper in the A'postrophe Garlic Press' demonstrates a trend towards kitchen tools that not only accomplish their intended purpose but also minimize mess and waste. - **Multipurpose Preparation Tools:** The A'postrophe Garlic Press' represents a push towards kitchen utensils that can perform more than one task, simplifying food preparation and streamlining the cooking process. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** The development of innovative kitchen utensils like the A'postrophe Garlic Press' presents opportunities for companies in the kitchenware industry to create tools that improve functionality and convenience for home cooks and chefs alike. - **Food Service:** The integration of time and mess-saving features in kitchen utensils such as the A'postrophe Garlic Press' is relevant for foodservice companies seeking to increase productivity and efficiency while reducing costs. - **Housewares Retail:** The trend towards multipurpose, innovative, and mess-reducing utensils like the A'postrophe Garlic Press' presents opportunities for housewares retail companies to stock items that appeal to customers looking for practical and efficient kitchen tools. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convenient Garlic-Crushing Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-rocket.md) - [Vampire-Inspired Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-crusher.md) - [Squeezable Garlic Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-spread.md) - [Hassle-Free Zester Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-series.md) - [Two-Sided Speed Graters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ograte.md) - [Scent-Free Natural Garlic Pastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-garlic-paste.md) - [Avocado-Shaped Vegetable Cutters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avo-multifunction-veggie-cutter.md) - [Versatile Kitchen Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-multitools.md) - [Chef-Style Kitchen Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caraway-4.md)
