Overview
A pull-out sieve and a long stainless steel lever form the core of the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean press. Cloves go into the chamber peeled or not, the handle squeezes them through beveled holes, and the sieve slides free for rinsing.
Cleanup decides whether a garlic press gets used, and the removable sieve here lets skins rinse out without scrubbing. Leverage from the long steel handle reduces hand effort. The listing does not say whether it can go in the dishwasher.
Who it's for
Home cooks who use garlic often and dislike peeling get the most from it, since whole cloves can go in skin and all. Cooks who mince garlic rarely and happily use a knife will not gain much.
Pros and cons
- Presses unpeeled cloves directly
- Sieve pulls out for quick rinsing
- All stainless steel, resists rust
- Long handle reduces squeezing effort
- Dishwasher safety not listed
- Title and spec dimensions disagree
Performance notes
Mince texture depends on the beveled holes, which shear the clove into even pieces as the plate pushes through. Grip force drops because the handle is long, giving more leverage per squeeze. With unpeeled cloves the skin stays in the chamber and comes out when the sieve is pulled.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean garlic press?
The spec table lists it at 9 inches long and 1.4 inches wide. The product title gives 6.5 x 1 x 1.5 inches, so the listing is not consistent on length.
Does the Kuhn Rikon garlic press slice garlic?
No. It is a press that pushes cloves through beveled holes for a fine, even mince. The listing does not mention slicing or grating.
