    CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, May 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The International Housewares Association has named Precise Cook product, the Flavor Press a finalist for its product design excellence category. The IHA Global Innovation Award for Product Design honors exhibitors to the International Convention distinguishing five finalists in 12 categories.

The Flavor Press reduces prep time and minimizes countertop clutter during cooking.
