OXO Good Grips Garlic Slicer

The best kitchen tool I have gotten in years! Easy to use and easy to clean! And it’s slice slices, garlic paper, thin!

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.

Awesome garlic slicer, perfect evenly thin sliced garlic with double slicing action. Ergonomic grip handle & designed for easiness to clean & store. Best investment at a reasonable price & OXO brand is an excellent quality & durable kitchen equipment

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.

I bought my Good Grips Garlic Slicer 6 years ago and use it almost every day. It is a game changer for people who find mincing garlic a slow and tedious task. I slice up a few cloves of garlic and then either use the slices as is, or take my santoku knife and do a quick chop chop over the slices if I want smaller pieces. My slicer is showing no signs of losing its edge or aging in any way. It's easy to clean and store with the snap-on feature of the sliding food chamber. Don't hesitate to buy this kitchen tool--you won't regret it!

This replaced another brand garlic slicer that hasn't worked well since the day I got it. This slicer immediately performed very well. I particularly love the double sided blade it has and the uniform paper thin slices it produces. I will be putting it through its paces yearly when it slices 40-50 bulbs with 7-12 cloves each in order to dehydrate all. Even if it only takes 2 cloves at a time, it operates so quickly that it should cut my time for this annual job significantly. The blade doesn't look like it can be replaced though, so, until I know how long the double blade lasts, I can't give it a five star yet.

This thing is awesome!! Slices garlic paper thin and no garlic smell on the hands. I've had mini mandolin slicers before, but this one blows them all out of the water. Slices right down to the last little bit...no waste. Love it!!

So easy to use.

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

Corta muy bien.

Replacing a pampered chef garlic slicer(discontinued). This tool actually is better than PC. Paper thin slices. No waste. Every kitchen needs this!!!

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