    It takes a lot of practice. Start with leaves first. Then move to flowers that are not “juicy” - i.e. rose petals, etc. Remember, the people you see using it on YouTube are showing a) their best example and b) they’ve been using it awhile. Your place will smell. Given how expensive the product is and how limited (not for “juicy flowers like sunflower heads), I don’t recommend.

    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 may have gone overboard with my flower drying but this product makes it very easy. We have so many beautiful tropical flowers that only last a day or two but now can be kept nearly forever. Its just complicated enough of a process to make it fun but easy enough that its a relaxing activity.

    There is definitely a learning curve to this product. People who have issues with items burning are probably using thicker, more wet flowers - in which case I have found shorter continual bursts to work. Ive also found that certain flowers press differently at different positions on the board. Items around the perimeter, and not directly under the vent holes do better. And items in the dead center tend to take much longer so ive begun to avoid that area altogether. Highly recommend though.

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

    I had never pressed flowers before and this microwave flowerpress made my flower pressing project pretty easy. My father recently passed away and I wanted to save some of the roses from his graveside service. Roses are a bit of a challenge since they are so thick so I read a lot of advice before beginning the project and I watched a couple of youtube videos. This one was my favorite: (...) Its short and very informative. If youre pressing a flower thats thick, like a rose, then I found the best thing to do is to basically take all the petals off and then reconstruct a thin rose in your fingertips with just a handful of petals. Also, follow the instructions and only microwave the specimens for short periods of time. For me, the flowers I used were important (from my dads graveside service) so I didnt want to risk the chance of burning them. I was probably way more conservative than necessary but I microwaved in really short bursts of 20-30 seconds. I also allowed the flowers to air out in between zaps and stretched the process out over a few days. I was really happy with the results and now just need to figure out what Im going to do with all the pretty pressed roses I made!

    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.

    This press is amazing! So simple to use right out of the box. In less than 2 minutes we had beautifully pressed and dried flowers! Be sure to read through the directions and follow the advice on preparing the press. The directions recommend applying a small amount of water to the felt pads BEFORE using the first time. I used a mist water bottle and a VERY LIGHT spritz! Don’t add more than that it will damage your first flowers. Short bursts (20-30secs) in the microwave worked perfectly. I made sure to follow the directions of opening the press and letting the flowers “rest” in between bursts. This allows you to see the progress and not over cook or burn your flowers. Be prepared to practice a few times so. We have had so much fun with this! Really preserves the color of the flowers too - we did pansies.

The Microfleur Microwave Flower Press presses flowers. Fast. Leaving you with beautiful, bold colors, and unlimited creative possibilities.

The Max 9" (23 cm) Microfleur microwave flower press is Microfleur"s most wanted press with 81 square inches of pressing space. Flowers, foliage and plants are quickly pressed between two cotton liners, two thick wool pads and two vented platens, all of which are held together by 4 clips. Pressing is done in very short intervals spaced with short resting periods. Flowers can be used the same day and color retention is exceptional, compared with traditional pressing methods. The pressed flowers can then be used for greeting cards, scrapbooking, wedding and other invitations, menus, bookmarks or applied to candles and soap, art and decoupage projects. It is the ultimate flower press and is commonly used by oshibana and other artists, as well as by botanists.

Quality construction and design offers great results

Clips very firmly compress the press and plant materials to prevent puckering of flowers and leaves while drying.

Holes in the platens allow for steam to escape and to allow flowers to press with the best possible uniformity.

The liners are washable and the pads will last for hundreds of cycles.

Step 1 - Load the Press

Load fresh flowers into the press, being carefully they don"t touch or they may stick together. For thicker flowers, it is helpful to thin or remove parts that will not be seen once flattened. Pressing takes practice. It is recommended to start with thinner flowers, such as pansies or violas.

Step 2 - Microwave

Do an initial burst in the microwave, following the instruction booklet. Drying times are dependent on the wattage of the microwave and the moisture content of each flower. Drying is done in multiple short bursts, instead of one long burst.

Step 3 - Check the Flowers

Wipe moisture off platens (plastic plates) and carefully open the press to check/touch your flowers, feeling all over. If they are sticky, then they need another burst. Repeat as necessary, letting your press cool if it is getting too hot. If the flowers have a papery feel, but not crispy, then they are dried.
