Kuhn Rikon Clear Cookie Press with Decorating Tips and Storage Box Review

I absolutely love this cookie press. I grew up using the aluminum cookie press with the screw mechanism- so I had something literally foolproof with which to compare this product.
I am baking as we speak a batch of spritz cookies, and it was a breeze! It took me half the time that the regular cookie press would take. I found that 1 click made a good size cookie and 2 clicks made (in my opinion) too big of a cookie…just depends on your preference. I did not experience any pressure issues with tops popping off or anything else that was mentioned as a negative (I read through the reviews prior to my purchase). If you wish to have more control than 1 click or 2, you always have the option of using the metal release and forcing the top down. An important thing to note is that this does not have the 3 metal feet that the aluminum presses generally have. With this press you simply make sure that that the plastic touches the cookie sheet do your clicks and pull off.
I also used this gadget for icing cupcakes, and it worked out great. Again, no pressure issues, or any to speak of. I did find that holding down the metal release was a little awkward, but it’s so much easier than a pastry bag where everything spills out.
The clear storage case is a HUGE plus (BTW the case has rubber feet on the bottom to hold it in place). The value is good considering that you get essentially two gadgets in one- cookie press and cake decorator; twelve cookie plates, and six decorating tips.
