The Yakima-- by Happy Valley Ranch; the Happiest Press on Earth! This 25lb press is made of hard maple and forged cast iron. Before use, apply a coat of EZ-DO polyurethane-- included! Just wipe/brush on and allow to dry. Apply food-grade grease to acme screw and nut to insure smooth operation for years to come. Turn the pressing screw to the up position and remove the pressing disc. Insert a pressing bag (INCLUDED) and place your fruit into the tub. Twist bag like trash bag. Replace the pressing disc and turn the screw slowly for best results. Continue squeezing until you feel most of the juices have been released. Simply repeat this procedure. Wipes clean with water and dry before storing. The Yakima measures 22" in height with the screw down and 32" with screw extended. The footprint is 12" x 12". Perfect for soft fruits such as ripe pears, grapes, berries, pitted peaches, tomatoes and more. Beautiful and durable construction makes this a piece to enjoy and pass down. Made in the USA with globally sourced materials.
