Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press
Customer Review: Genuinely Labor-Saving
Summary: 5 Stars
Back when I was reading through these reviews myself, the two things that made me decide to buy this model were:
1. People said you didn't even need to peel the cloves for it to work; and
2. It was reported as super-easy to clean.
In real life I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome, and all the little things do add up. So getting the easiest possible solution to my garlic dilemma was more important to me than most. The truth is, I'm nowhere near the gourmet the other reviewers here seem to be. I mainly wanted a press because of the apparent health benefits of garlic.
So with all that in mind, I'm especially happy to report that this press has lived up to the claims made on both counts!
My only caveat would be that some reviewers do seem to have reported that this model comes with its own pick for cleaning. It doesn't. But the beauty of it is, it doesn't really need one.
Think of this press as being made of four spokes, each swinging out from a central hinge. At one end is the handle you'd press against your fingers. The next spoke holds the grill you mash the garlic through. When pushed against the first handle, this grill is held in place by small side-wings. Then there's the press itself - the bit that mashes the garlic through the grill. And finally, the "outer" handle you'd squeeze with your thumb and palm. The final handle and the press also have a kind of seperate joint holding them together. All four spokes can swing freely, which makes it a total breeze to clean. You don't need to do much more than hold this thing under the tap and maybe run your fingers over the grill a few times to dislodge any remaining particles.
As for the people who appeared to claim that the model comes with a pick, I'm more inclined to blame Amazon than the reviewers. Unfortunately one of the best pieces of advice I can give you about reading Amazon reviews is never blithely assume that what you're reading was actually written about the product the review is attached to. I've certainly seen enough of my own reviews appearing on the product pages of alternate editions and whathaveyou.
Looking back to when I myself was reading through these reviews, I know sometimes it's tough to be certain you should vote for the review you're reading as "Helpful", simply because it's tough to be sure that what you're reading really does apply to the product you're looking at - and so yes, it really is helpful! For this reason I often insert product links into my reviews so you can be sure exactly which product the review was written for: in this case the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press. So please, take my advice and check to be sure.
Hope this helped!
Theo.
