Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press

We love our Kuhn garlic press! Works great, and cleanup is absolutely effortless: that's its best feature. Worth every penny.

This garlic press replaces a 20 year old Zyliss that I was sick of cleaning. The old one had the little plastic cleaning gizmo that, due to extensive use, has half of the prongs bent or missing.

The Kuhn Ricon press handles larger garlic cloves, is easier to operate (less grip force required), and clean up is especially simple. No tools are required, just open it all the way and rub with your fingers under running water for a second or two.

The all stainless-steel construction seems to be very solid.

Not inexpensive, but is much easier to operate and clean so I feel it is a good value.

Easy to use, Easy to clean, best I have ever owned. Buy it, don't hesitate, don't overthink it. My 80 year old Mom can use it.

at last, a product that surpasses my expectations. I splurged for this after reading a recommendation in Cooks Illustrated. In the past 50 years I've been cooking, I've wasted so much money on garlic shredders/mincers etc. that don't' work or so messy to clean they've not worth the effort. But this really does work and is a snap to use and clean. Just go for it and buy it--in the long run you will save money.

This press looks and acts the part. Solid construction ensures longevity and reliability. The press is tough enough to take on other harder roots like ginger as well. Pressing garlic is a cinch with this but although pressing ginger requires a bit more effort, this press handles it quite well too.

The pressing surface is fully openable to enable quick and easy cleaning. The all steel construction makes for faster cleaning compared to some of its competitors which have plastic parts.

The large and curved grip makes it comfortable on the hands, and allows more surface area of your palm to be in contact to spread out the pressure.

I would give it 5 stars if not for the price, which I think is a bit on the high side, but I guess you do get what you pay for. Highly recommended.
