Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press
Customer Review: Why didn't I buy this sooner-I LOVE it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using the Zyliss which was recommended by Cook's Illustrated, but to my dismay as well as others, the paint constantly came off and who knows what I was consuming besides garlic. I was hesitant to spend $30 on a garlic press, since I had tried others, but I bit the bullet and BOY am I glad I did. This press is simple to use. Just keep you hand clear as you squeeze down. Mine got caught once but it just pinched a little. It does a FANTASTIC job mincing garlic and clean up is a breeze with it's easily accessible parts or just throw it in the dishwasher. If you are wondering about buying this item-wonder no more and buy it.Customer Review: Excellent tool for the kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the recommendation of Cook's Illustrated I ordered this garlic press. It is the best I've ever used. I am a petite person with small hands and my squeeze strength, while vigorous for my size, is challenged by items that require lots of squeeze. This tool is effortless. What a dream to press my garlic now. I love to cook and especially enjoy creating my own stocks and a wide variety of soups - so I use lots and lots of garlic. I didn't yet mention the ease of cleaning. Very easy. Let me say that again, very easy. Don't suffer any more with poorly designed garlic presses. Spend the money and add to your enjoyment of cooking.Customer Review: Great while it lasted, but broke.

Thought I had found the ultimate garlic press. One that could take it in the kitchen. But after about 50 pressings, the top part broke free of the bottom. I tried to press it back on but it wouldn't go. I threw it away...very unhappy at Kuhn Rikon who made my wonderful pressure cookers. Then I ran into big green Prepara press. WOW. It takes up to six large cloves at a time...actually more. I has never failed in about 6 months. It cleans very quickly and asks for more. I would not buy another Kuhn Rikon kitchen tool, although the pressure cooker still works (I did need a replacement rubber seal after a while).Customer Review: Garlic Press

I have owned other garlic presses in the past. They would squash the garlic & if by some miracle managed to get any of the garlic through they would still have half the clove left behind unpressed. I saw a review by cooks illustrated on the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press & thought I would give it a try. I put a peeled clove in and squeezed and it was like butter. All of the garlic pressed through with very little effort on my part. I then tried an unpeeled clove and it to went through like butter and left the peel behind. I LOVE this garlic press & can't wait to use it again. No more do I dread mincing garlic.Customer Review: best garlic press I've found
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really good garlic press - a bit pricey, but it is easy to use and easy to clean. The garlic doesn't ooze out the sides like it does on some other presses I've tried and you can easily press garlic with the skins on. I've also used the Zyliss Jumbo Garlic Press with Cleaner which works great, but after a couple of years of use the coating wears off and it leaves dark black gunk on my garlic - not good. The Kuhn Rikon press is made of stainless steel, so this shouldn't be a problem. Highly recommended!
