I ditched the garlic press for a microplane and it's not even close

I used a garlic press for years and hated cleaning the stupid thing, you know, all those little bits stuck in the holes. Then about 6 months ago my buddy handed me a microplane and said try this instead. I grated three cloves in like 10 seconds and rinsed it clean under the tap in 2 seconds flat. Has anyone else made the switch or am I just late to the party?

My buddy Dan did the same thing to me about a year ago, handed me his microplane and said just try it. I think it's part of a bigger thing where we hold onto bad tools out of habit. Like how people still use those old can openers that leave sharp edges when a simple safety one works way better. We just get used to the tiny annoyances and forget there's a cleaner option sitting right there. Once you switch you can't go back to the old clunky way.

Nah, sometimes the old way just works fine and I'm used to it.
