Local Mineola Company Named Finalist for 2014 Housewares Design Awards

The Easy-Press from Joseph Joseph was selected as a Finalist for the Gadgets & Kitchen Tools category in the prestigious 2014 Housewares Design Awards.  This means that it is in the running for the “Best of the Best” Awards that will be given to the best housewares products of the year at the Gold, Silver and Bronze levels.

The Housewares Design Awards is the industry’s premier independent awards competition.  Winners will be announced at the Housewares Design Awards presentation ceremony and luncheon on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at the New York Marriott Marquis.

The Joseph Joseph Easy-press can crush multiple unpeeled garlic cloves at once. Unlike conventional presses, the two levers that squeeze the garlic together can be separated, enabling the top piece to be used as a scraping tool for removing the crushed garlic remains from the extruder plate. Cone shaped holes prevent any remaining garlic pieces from being trapped, ensuring that the unit is thoroughly cleaned.
