Make more than just cookies using this one-handed Cookie Press. The stainless steel trigger mechanism allows easy, one-handed (whether you're left or right-handed!) cookie or pastry making using any of the 20 interchangeable discs. Included are 6 pastry nozzles for custom decorating cookies, cakes and more. Use it for filling hors d'oeuvres or piping mashed potatoes onto entrees. A see-through plastic barrel lets you quickly determine how much of the contents are left. Barrel measures 6-in. in length and 1.6-in. in width. It's lightweight and easy to handle ??? even kids will get into the fun using this versatile tool.
Amazon.com Review
Make dozens of cookies or pastries and decorate cakes in no time with Kuhn Rikon's one-handed cookie press. Lightweight and easy to use, this baking tool is a simple one-handed operation. With 20 different cookie discs you can make whatever type of treat your favorite cookie monsters desire--why not be adventuresome and try a new version every week? Frosting cakes is also more fun with six tips to choose from and a 6-inch see-through barrel allows you to keep an eye on how much dough or frosting remains in the barrel so you don't run out mid-cake. Included in the deal is a recipe and instruction booklet for more cookie ideas. Pinwheels, anyone? --Meg Heffernan

 I'm IMPRESSED with this press! May 6, 2000
190 out of 194 found this review helpful
I used other popular cookie presses for holiday baking and found them to be a hassle to operate and to clean, the last one I had didn't provide enough leverage to extrude the dough. Someone recommended this one from Kuhn Rikon and then I ordered it out of a catalog for 1999 Xmas cookie baking. This one is really slick. The trigger grip mechanism allows one-handed operation so you have the other hand free to cut dough or finish forming cookies. I like the see-through body so I know exactly how much material I have left. All the parts are nicely finished and it's really easy to clean. There are lots of choices of dies and tips and I found the star die exactly the right shape for Scandinavian Vannilie Kranser. This is so much better than others on the market!
Easy to use for a first time cookie press user.... March 12, 2001
40 out of 40 found this review helpful
I received this press as a Christmas present, and just used it for the first time last night. I have never used a cookie press before, so I can't compare it to any other, but as a first time user, I can say that this was very simple to use and very easy to clean. The cookies come out looking very professional and the extra barrel included in the box made it easy to get ready for the next batch--making the whole process very quick. I am very pleased with mine, and knowing it was this easy to use ensures I will be using it again and again.
Elegant cookies fast! October 17, 2004

I got this press to replace my old Pampered Chef one in time for holiday baking and am so glad that I did! I just finished my second batch of spritz cookies in record time. I've used four of the 20 plates so far and only had two incomplete cookies, both of which were the first press after a refill using a very intricate plate. The cookies are small and dainty-looking, but are not fragile (a problem I had with the larger cookies made by my old press). The only problem I have with this one is that the plunger is concave instead of flat, which makes the last cookie come out as a blob. Of course, there is no shortage of volunteers in my house to dispose of the "extra" dough, so it's a problem I can live with. I haven't used it as a decorator yet, but plan to in the near future. I am very glad to see that the decorator adapter takes standard tips, so I can easily use the ones I already have in addition to the ones that came with it. All in all, a great product for a great price.
Update: I used the press to fill thumbprint cookies with icing and was very pleased. The press gave me a great level of control and was easier to use than other decorators I've tried.
*WARNING - This does NOT work for cake frosting! December 15, 2000

While looking for something to make CAKE decorating easy and fun, I was encouraged to buy one of these at Home Chef (for about twice the price as amazon!). The SALESgirl was enthusiastic and the packaging seemed to indicate (to a novice like me) that it could be used for cake frosting as well. What a mistake! It did not work well with frosting at all, everything came out in blobs and it was difficult to manuever. Before I returned it, I made a batch of cookies - they were adorable and the unit was very easy to clean (and manuever for COOKIE making). If I was a cookie maker - this would have been perfect for me.
Makes Christmas cookie production a pleasure November 1, 2003

I don't like making cookies; the process is time-consuming if you do cut cookies or drop. The Kuhn Rikon has a trigger mechanism that ticks off each cookie in record time. They bake quickly (small) and they are welcome in a cookie swap or a gift bag of cellophane decorated with ribbons. The instructions on the recipe tell you to chill the sheets and not grease them. This is vital to keep the cookie from coming up again after you pull the trigger over the sheet.
