Celebrating Swiss design through iconic kitchen tools

As summer rolls in, bringing with it a burst of fresh flavours and lighter meals, Zyliss is marking the season by showcasing three of our most beloved kitchen tools: the Salad Spinner, the Zick-Zick Food Chopper and the iconic Susi Garlic Press. These items aren’t just seasonal standouts – they’re part of Zyliss’ rich heritage that has shaped home cooking for more than 70 years.

Founded by Karl Zysset in Switzerland, Zyliss has revolutionised modern cooking with ingenious inventions like the garlic press and salad spinner. Today, the brand continues to embody Karl’s innovative spirit, offering thoughtfully designed products that are functional, sustainable, easy to use and above all, bring joy to cooking.

Safety of salad lovers: The Easy Spin and

Swift Dry Salad Spinners

Recently, we commissioned a survey involving 2,000 respondents from across the UK, which revealed that a whopping 76% of Brits are sure to wash their salad leaves before eating. Whilst it’s great that so many people do so, 72% simply rinse it under the tap. The use of a salad spinner, which is not only the most efficient and effective method, also dries the salad to crisp, crunchy perfection.

When it comes to salad spinners, Zyliss’s Easy Spin Salad Spinner and Swift Dry Salad Spinner are examples of continuously evolving products. Featuring patented AquaVentTM technology, this clever tool delivers faster, more effective water removal than standard spinners helping your salad stay fresher for longer.

The Easy Spin Salad Spinner is designed for simplicity and convenience. A one-touch brake and retractable cord system ensures quick and easy spinning, while its non-slip base keeps things stable. Perfect for compact kitchens, it boasts a foldable handle and magnetic clip, while the lid is made from sustainable wheat straw material, reducing virgin plastic usage by up to 10%.

The Swift Dry Salad Spinner takes a different approach with its smooth push-pump mechanism, allowing for one-handed operation and fast, controlled spinning. The built-in brake button halts the spinning action to fluff and prep the salad effortlessly.

Designed for the eco-conscious, the salad spinners align with modern demands for products that don’t just perform, they last. It’s dishwasher-safe and easy to use for BBQs and picnics as well as everyday salad prep.

From 70s classic to chopping essential: The Zick-Zick food chopper

Originally featured in a 1970s TV ad that became iconic, the “ZickZick-Zyliss” is a throwback turned must-have. Compact, efficient and easy to operate, it features a spring-action mechanism that delivers consistently fine results whether you’re chopping onions, herbs or soft vegetables. Its design may have evolved, but the purpose remains timeless — making kitchen prep quicker and easier for everyone, from busy parents to beginner chefs.

A garlic press that changed the kitchen forever: The Susi Garlic Press

The Susi 3 Garlic Press is a flagship product in the Zyliss range, building on the original design created by Karl Zysset back in 1948. Designed to extract every drop of flavour without peeling it saves prep time and cuts down on waste.

Our recent study also revealed how much garlic is a staple in British cooking, with 66% of people cooking with it at least once a week, and one in three (32%) using three to five cloves per dish. For these garlic lovers, the Zyliss Susi 3 Garlic Press is an everyday essential eliminating garlic pungent fingers. It also features an ergonomic handle for comfortable pressing, a generously sized chamber for multiple cloves (which don’t need peeling) and an integrated cleaning tool that snaps neatly into place for hygienic, hasslefree storage.

A season to celebrate heritage

This summer, Zyliss is sharing a story of design and heritage that’s built on a drive for clever functionality – whether it’s drying fresh lettuce, chopping onions without the tears or pressing garlic for homemade aioli, each product reflects Swiss quality and customer insight.

As consumer habits shift toward ergonomic and multi-functional tools created with a sustainable approach, Zyliss continues to evolve – staying true to its roots in Swiss design.
