Good Grips Garlic Slicer

I'm new to world of cooking, most especially using garlic gloves. Some recipes call for slicing the gloves and while I found it is possible for me to do that, the garlic was still thick. Then I used this marvelous item and bingo! Thinly sliced garlic and wonderful tasting dishes! The contraption is designed to help the novice chef, very easy to use, easy to clean--making me look like I know my way around a kitchen (when I really don't). My only concern: how to replace the blade when it inevitably becomes dull. Further, there is no designed way to protect the blade when not in use.

First, I have not received nor do I have any financial interest in this product. I have a garlic press purchased a few months ago and it works fine....if you want tiny pieces of garlic. Seeing the tv cooking shows always shows someone with garlic that has been thinly sliced. THIS is what I wanted so I began the search and found this OXO garlic slicer. Wow! Does the job I've been looking for. The unit is made of a high grade durable plastic that appears will hold up well with use. To use the unit, you place a clove of garlic (peeled) in the top container, place the carrier top back in, and then move the whole unit back and forth across a blade. Slices of garlic come up quite good. And the clove carrier protects your fingers from the blade. THIS is a definite plus. As you get to the end of the clove, you may or may not have a small chunk of garlic left but that is not a problem. In addition, you do use just use the weight of your hand to begin slicing. Neat, quick and to the point. To clean, just uses the sink sprayer but caution.... Do not use your fingers to clean out any garlic pieces stuck to the blade. The blade will samurai your finger tips. And I let my unit air dry. Now for the negatives. First, the garlic "carrier" is free sliding. That is, it will slide over the blade whether you are slicing garlic or not. This then leads to an EXPOSED BLADE which is sharp. Now, since the clove carrier moves freely on the "track", obviously the blade will be exposed each time you pick up the slicer or ??? Plus, the blade is also riveted in so it cannot be replaced. But again, how often would you replace such a blade? I would like to see this same unit with an ADJUSTABLE thickness AND...and a way to literally place the clove carrier over the blade and lock it in. However, since I am an adult and I do cut myself "professionally" every so often, this problem has been solved by my putting the unit in a freezer bag after the unit has been cleaned and dried. The bag keeps the unit clean, protects the blade to an extent, and I don't say bad words because I don't cut myself. Overall, yes, I give this unit a 5 star as I am very pleased with the results I get. The CONS I've indicated may or may not be considered personal preference. IF as a amateur chef, you want lotsa garlic sliced thin, this has got to be one of the better garlic slicers around. I do recommend the OXO unit as a BUY.

The OXO garlic slicer does exactly as advertized. Works well. Safe (no injured fingers). Durable. Easy to clean. It's one of those "must-haves" in your kitchen!

My friend had this when we went away on vacation, and when I used it, I couldn’t believe it. It was the best! It sliced the garlic, super thin and super fast. There’s no assembly required and it is really worth the money. I have since bought one for two friends and intend to buy more for other people. It’s just the best.

This slicer does a great job with thin slices of garlic. I have tried others and this one works the best, especially if you need a lot of garlic.

Fantastic garlic slicer, does what it claims to do. Nice design to have the slide horizonal click on for safe storage. But it kind of defeats the purpose by not having some click on storage for the presser thingy. It falls out when slightly tipped over and I can see myself accidentally sticking my finger in while grabbing it from the drawer. I recommend storing it with a tape to hold it in place.

Very happy with it worth every penny

Easy to use. By everyone, from the elderly to the disabled, to young ones. Plus it’s easy to maintain and clean. And the price, almost a giveaway!

SLICES THIN. EASY TO WORK. 10x BETTER THEN THE CHEAP Cuisinart CTG-00-GS Garlic Slicer and Grater, Green.

両刃のスライダーがなかなかなく、 やっと見つけました。 スライスする時間も半分ですみました

i like this product for making garlic chips. Quality doesnt look cheap.

Ein richtig durchdachter Knoblauchschneider! Herrlich einfach und total effektiv in der Handhabung - so macht Knobihobeln sogar Spaß ;-) Das tool ist leicht zusammensetzbar und für's Spülen mit wenigen Handgriffen wieder auseinanderzunehmen. Was mir auch gut gefällt: der Knoblauchschneider kann nach Gebrauch einfach aufgehängt werden, nichts fällt herunter und er ist jederzeit griffbereit. Ich finde nichts, was ich bemängeln könnte! Ein rundum sehr guter Küchenhelfer ☝🏻

Muito funcional e bem acabado. Vale a pena comprar
