Chicken or Garlic Press

Chicken or garlic press, also crushing nuts, 2 1/4″ diameter, same diameter as meat tenderizer.  Flat bottom allows for flattening chicken or fish as part of cooking preparation.     FDA food grade, 304 18-8 stainless steel, made and patented in America.   Set screw is 3/8″ x 16 tpi and you can  use any of my mandrels to turn the handle.  See Mandrel Comparison page to see all the mandrels and their attributes.  I do suggest using the threaded inserts since you will want the handle to be removed to put the press in the dishwasher and not worry about the threads wearing down in the wood.

This is the only chicken press on the market where woodturners, carvers and metal artists can create their own handle making a most unique gift and retail product.  It weighs a little over 10 oz. so with a handle it is heavy enough not to need a lot of pressure to tenderize the meat.   *note: If you do craft shows, buy 6 or 8  set screws and the stainless threaded inserts, so you have extra artistic handles.  If you get 3 or 4 tenderizers, presses and/or coffee tampers, let the customers choose their own handle.  This makes the customer feel they are getting a “custom” item and you will sell more.

**note: the wood top is not included, it is just for display.
