9 (23 cm) Max Microwave Flower Press Kit for Pressing Flowers and Making Pressed Flowers

I’ve been pressing flowers for a number of years in the microwave using paper towels and ceramic tiles. It worked great, but this flower press is amazing! The flowers come out so much better, and the color is retained. I bought two and couldn’t be happier.

Just received the flower press today and used it right away. DO NOT USE IT WITH DRY SHEETS! I used it twice on pansies, 30 seconds each time, the third time is was lightening storm in my microwave! Make sure you lightly spray the wool sheets with a spray bottle between dryings. Ive dried about 2 dozen flowers now and they all turned out great.

Pleased so far!

In the week after my wedding, I wasn’t ready to throw out my bouquet and also had no idea what to do with it. Found this press & starting microwaving the flowers in batches. Love how this turned out. Color maintained and sturdy enough to pin in a shadow box. Pricey, but worth it.

Clean your microwave after use. It will leave a taste in food cooked in it afterwards.

It works- you have to microwave it a couple times and figure out what works but the smell it gives off is fowl. I had to literally open the windows because it smelled so bad. I guess that’s what happens when you microwave flowers and the misrule out of them but I’m disappointed no one mentioned this to me before!!!

I hated the idea of paying for dried flowers. I also didn’t have the patience to try drying them myself-until I found this little thing. I followed the directions and only dried like flowers in a single batch. It is incredibly easy to use. It does take a different number of cycles based on the thickness of the flowers. I checked them after each 30sec cycle. Once you do it the first time you sorta figure out what to look for as to whether the flowers are sufficiently dried. I purchased the big 9” one and it turned easily in my microwave. Of course now I’m looking for different flowers to dry. Oh the color of the flowers do not fade. That was really exciting.

Present for the misses. She has used it several times this summer and really likes it. Was using a book press system before, this is much quicker and she says it gives better results. I agree with her. Not because I think it is better, I have no clue, but because thats what you are supposed to do, so I say Yep looks great or something to that extent. She is excited and likes it, so what else really matters?

Really enjoy using this, I dry flowers a lot so I do wish the bigger size was bigger but then I dont know if it would fit in the microwave. Easy to use, instructions straightforward. Note: you cant use too thick of material or else the clamps will not secure onto the square. You also just have to do some trial and error with your personal microwave and find out what flowers need certain drying times. I would 100% buy again, love using this tool for drying flowers!

My husband is getting into drying leaves and flowers for his artwork. We saw this on a home decorating show used to make affordable art with on-sale frames. It sure beats waiting months for some flowers to dry! Plus, if you smash one wrong, youll see it in a few minutes and can most often collect another for drying. :) At first, he ended up charring some flowers and leaves because he heated them too long at one time in the microwave, like 1.5 minutes. Its better to do it in shorter increments, maybe 30 seconds, and keep checking them. Basically, follow the directions. Also, if you leave them a little damp after microwaving, thicker flowers may curl up slightly upon air drying, which may not be an entirely undesirable effect. We love this product!
