• The metal grid and its handle are in the lowest position, which is closest to the lower handle.
• Tip: Should you have opened the KPT Garlic Star too much and the grid is lifted up, simply push down the metal grid handle with the index finger of your free hand.

How to Open (Position 2)

• Position 2 is needed when placing unpeeled garlic at the designated spot to break the skin, or when you want to remove leftover garlic from the grid to clean the product. Use this position to access best the herb deleaver holes.
• Take the KPT Garlic Star in one hand and hold it by the lower handle.
• Lightly lift the upper handle with the other hand until the handle stops automatically. You have reached Position 1.
• Push the upper handle further with your free hand until the outer rips at the lengths of the upper handle touch the lower handle. The metal grid is lifting up automatically.

How to Use to Press Peeled Garlic

• Hold the KPT Garlic Star in one hand.
• Open to Position 1.
• Place the peeled garlic into the chamber of the lower handle. Tip: The thinner side of the garlic should point towards the rivet, and the thicker side towards the herb deliver holes. Like that, you will get the best results in pressing garlic.
• Close the KPT Garlic Star and press. Once the handles are close enough you can easily press together the handles with only one hand.
• Scrape off the pressed garlic from the grid by using the back of a small knife, like the U-Series Utility Knife. Tip: Keep the handles slightly pushing together. The grid is being pushed forward too, so it is easier to remove pressed garlic.
