Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press Stainless Steel — Silver, Ergonomic Lever & Removable Sieve

The Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press is a Swiss-designed, all‑stainless tool that crushes whole or peeled cloves quickly for a fine, even mince and easy cleanup.

If you want restaurant-style garlic flavor without the fuss, this garlic press delivers. Engineered in Switzerland, it combines a sturdy stainless steel build with an ergonomic lever for efficient leverage, a removable sieve for fast rinsing, and beveled perforations that produce a consistent mince. The press fits comfortably in the hand and handles both peeled and unpeeled cloves so you can speed up prep and reduce mess.

How does the Epicurean press make crushing garlic easier?

Its long, ergonomically shaped handle multiplies force so you exert less effort while still crushing cloves completely. The press cavity is oversized to accept larger cloves and the hinge mechanism keeps pressure even across the clove for a uniform texture.

• Ergonomic lever reduces hand strain for repetitive use
• Large hopper fits whole cloves to save prep time
• Even pressure prevents partially crushed pieces

Can I use it with unpeeled garlic and how does cleaning work?

Yes — the roomy chamber takes cloves with skin on, so you can skip peeling when you’re short on time. After use, pull out the built‑in sieve to release trapped bits; the separate insert rinses clean quickly under running water or in the top rack of a dishwasher.

• Press peeled or unpeeled cloves for flexible prep styles
• Removable sieve ejects pulp and skins for fast rinsing
• Dishwasher‑safe stainless steel parts simplify maintenance

What kind of mince and performance should I expect?

The press creates a fine, consistent mince thanks to beveled holes and a tightly fitting plate. You’ll get small, evenly sized garlic pieces that integrate smoothly into sauces, dressings, sautés, and marinades without large chunks or unevenly mashed bits.

• Beveled perforations produce uniform small pieces
• Plate and chamber geometry minimize wasted pulp
• Reliable results for delicate or intense garlic applications

Is this tool built to last in a busy kitchen?

The Epicurean model uses full stainless steel construction designed to resist rust, bending, and normal wear. Its heavy‑duty hinge and solid plates hold up to frequent use, while the straightforward design reduces parts that can fail over time.

• All‑metal body resists corrosion and deformation
• Robust hinge tolerates frequent pressing without loosening
• Simple removable components minimize failure points

It’s ideal for people who prefer a fine, even mince, need a tool that cleans up quickly, or want a durable stainless steel implement that will endure daily use.
