Load the PressLoad 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. |
MicrowaveDo 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. |
Check the FlowersWipe 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. |
CreateThe pressed flowers can be stored for later or used right away in resin jewelry or other projects, cards, framed art, etc. Let your creativity flow! |

Well, while the florist timed our flowers perfectly for the ceremony, by the next morning when I was going to ship them they were already starting to look tired; when I found out the overnight shipping was going to cost $120, I decided to just order a flower press and do my best. This was the only one amazon had for “delivery by 8am tomorrow.” I hadn’t pressed flowers since elementary school and was skeptical of a microwave method, but decided to give it a chance.
I think that, for my skill level (aka, zero skill), this was an exceptional outcome. I was working primarily with very thick flowers (mostly roses, I think some marigold? Etc) and in a traditional press, I think they would have been lost to moisture before being fully pressed.
Because the microwave dries the flowers out, there’s no opportunity for moisture damage. I assume you could burn the flowers, but I didn’t have any of mine burn. And, because it works in a matter of minutes, my slightly-wilting flowers actually came out as well as I would have expected for fresh flowers.
I’m eager to try this with some fresher flowers and see how that goes, but in the meantime, I’ve attached some pictures. Remember that I have zero experience before this project, so things like folded petals are my own doing.
A few quick tips:
1) The instructions encourage you to prep the panels before the first use (spray some water, microwave briefly); the way it’s worded it sounds like it means the first time you use it, but I did it before each day (I pressed across two days due to time constraints). I wonder if this is why I didn’t experience any burning. It only adds 30 seconds to the process, and I suspect it’s what they meant to recommend.
2) I found I could tell whether flowers were dry based on whether there was any moisture on the plastic panels when I opened them. I started with 20 seconds, opened, wiped down panels, let steam out, re-sealed, another 20 seconds, repeat. Eventually I worked down to 10 second bursts as things got close. When the flowers were dry, the panels would no longer have visible moisture when I opened them to wipe. I was repeatedly surprised when moisture kept coming out even though I thought they were done (or close to done)!
3) if you’re dealing with roses or similar, I personally found it best to deconstruct the flower. I did some large petals on their own, to go behind the flower once I arranged it; or I pulled out the center of the rose and pressed that alone on its side, or pressed the outer layers by themselves. I found that most of the thick flowers that I tried to press whole wouldn’t fall flat well, but deconstructed flowers looked whole once finished. This sort of advice is probably already out there if you’re familiar with flower pressing, but I thought I’d mention just in case!

I am very much against microwaving plastic (even if it is considered "microwave safe"), so I asked friends if anyone had a microwave they wanted to get rid of- didn't care if it was stained, old, etc. It was pretty easy to find one for free. I'm really glad that I got a separate microwave for it, as I noticed that there was a smell associated with the process. The smell mad me gag a bit (I am very sensitive to those types of things), so I took my new (old) microwave outside and did all my pressing in the garage. In the guidebook, it definitely talks about wiping down your microwave after using the Microfleur in it to remove any potential toxic residues, so I am very, very happy that I got a separate microwave for this sole purpose.
Anyhoo, I am extremely impressed by the Microfleur. The pictures show flowers that I picked and pressed just today- it would have taken 1-2 weeks to get these flowers pressed in my traditional flower press. The colors truly are amazing, and once I got the hang of how long to microwave things, the process became pretty seamless. For me, I can microwave almost everything for 60 seconds and it's good to go.
I am super excited about pressing more flowers as the summer goes on and more things come into bloom. And again, I am extremely happy that I got a separate microwave for the process- definitely worth it in my opinion!

It took me awhile to get used to the 'stink' factor of this method, but once I remembered that I was basically steaming vegetables, the smell was more like 'yuck, overdone broccoli' and I could live with it. I do recommend having windows open when pressing, and you don't want to overdo it in terms of how many flowers you put in each time -- no petals should overlap.
I truly did press hundreds of flowers: For my table numbers, for a scrapbook I made, and for pressings of my bouquet post-wedding. All of them are still colored beautifully a few months later, no mold issues, and I didn't need to buy any extra supplies. The stock supplies with the item were all that was needed.

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.
I've 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 i've begun to avoid that area altogether.
Highly recommend though.

prosècto, pero si de forma muy rapida. Para saber el tiempo exacto de secado, hay que ir haciendo pruebas
Attenersi ai tempi di cottura indicati nel libretto delle istruzioni altrimenti si rischia di bruciare tutto (come mi è capitato!)
