Title: Which slim lentil press would you recommend?
Post by: Helen G on February 03, 2010, 12:39:11 PM

I am feeling a bit sorry for myself, suffering with a nasty chest infection with a bit of fluid on my lungs, hence not a lot of chat and no beads :(

Anyway, enough moaning.........to cheer myself up what better way than a bit of retail therapy ;D

I have 3 of the Zoozii lentil presses, large and XL and a small trio one but I would like one that makes a slimmer lentil or lentils as the Zooziis come out quite fat!

Would love to hear what you lovely lot would suggest please :-*

Thanks Mand but I'm looking for a bit bigger than those, around 25-30mm for focal beads.
