Any suggestions on what product to properly sanitize our Apple press and grinder. It's a combo of oak but mostly stainless steel.
Prefer to not use kmeta in my cider as I'm sensitive to sulfites.
 
Star San would be fine for the stainless parts but with anything porous like the wood i think your only option is heat.

Thus the reason the cider is usually treated after pressing. Heat pasteurization or chemically. Or with UV but that's hard on the home scale.
 
Have sensitivities to sulfite so prefer to clean the press well.
 
What I have done in the past is start fermentation with whatever yeast I have planned as soon as the juice is pressed. Works great
