Product Information

Full details

The Zyliss Susi 4 Garlic Press is designed for home cooks seeking an efficient and user-friendly tool for crushing garlic without the need for peeling. Its key benefit is the ability to extract crushed garlic while leaving the skin behind, simplifying prep and reducing mess. A potential caveat is the need for proper care to maintain the non-stick surface over time. This press features a large capacity chamber, long handles for leverage, and an ILAG non-stick coating for easy cleaning.

FAQs

Does the Zyliss Susi 4 really eliminate the need to peel garlic?

Yes, the design allows the crushed garlic to be expelled through the holes while the skin remains in the chamber, meaning you don't need to peel the cloves beforehand.

How do I clean the garlic press effectively?

Rinse immediately after use. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and warm water to gently clean the chamber and sieve. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that could damage the non-stick surface.

What is the guarantee period for the Zyliss Susi 4?

The product is covered by a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee. Please retain your receipt as proof of purchase. The guarantee does not cover accidental breakage, poor care, or damage from misuse.

Can I put the garlic press in the dishwasher?

While the ILAG non-stick surface is designed for easy cleaning, hand washing is recommended to prolong the life and effectiveness of the non-stick coating. Check the product's specific care instructions for definitive guidance.

What should I do if the garlic press feels stiff or hard to use?

Ensure the press is clean and free from any dried garlic residue. Check that the garlic clove is properly seated and that the handles are aligned. If the issue persists, the non-stick coating might require attention or there could be internal friction.

Is the aluminium construction prone to corrosion?

High-quality aluminium, especially with a protective coating like ILAG, is generally resistant to corrosion under normal kitchen use. Proper cleaning and drying after each use will help maintain its condition.

Troubleshooting

Garlic skin remains stuck after pressing

Ensure you are using firm, fresh garlic. For older or softer garlic, a quick rinse before pressing might help. Clean the sieve holes thoroughly after use, as blockages can impede performance.

Pressing requires excessive force

Check that the garlic clove is positioned correctly within the chamber. Ensure the handles are aligned properly. For very hard garlic, a slight twist while pressing can sometimes help. Ensure the press is clean and free of any dried-on residue.

Non-stick coating appears damaged or worn

Inspect the press for scratches or signs of wear. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive cleaning materials. If the coating is significantly damaged, it may affect performance and ease of cleaning. Contact customer support if you believe this is a manufacturing defect.

Garlic is not fully crushed

Ensure the garlic clove is not too large for the chamber. You may need to cut larger cloves in half before pressing. Make sure the press is fully closed when applying pressure.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, rinse the press under running water. Use a small brush or cloth to gently remove any remaining garlic residue from the chamber and sieve. For stubborn residue, hand washing with mild soap and warm water is recommended.

  3. Drying: Dry the garlic press thoroughly with a soft cloth after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the finish.
