Abstract: The food preparation utensil disclosed herein facilitates both the pressing and slicing of a foodstuff such as cloves of garlic. A first handle member provides a pressing cavity having an apertured or screen-like bottom and a slicing cavity having a series of parallel blades. A second handle member is pivotally joined to the first handle member and provides first and second plunger members for pressing a foodstuff placed in the respective cavity. A cover member is attached to the first handle member between the bottoms of the two cavities and is adapted to selectively close either the pressing apertures or the blades, the side of the cover member facing the first cavity carrying a plurality of pins which can project through and clear the pressing apertures.
