Leifheit Gourmet Slicer, Garlic and Ginger Slicer, Alloy Steel Blade, Plastic Body, Red, Wafer Thin Slices, Perfect for Garlic, Ginger, Chocolate, Nuts

Saw this on a recipe website and followed the link to Amazon. A very useful gadget for anyone who needs paper-thin sliced garlic to sprinkle over baked potatoes, Brussel-sprouts, broccoli, etc. Peel the garlic and arrange them in the chamber, put the stopper in and turn...and the hyper-sharp blades at the bottom slice away creating lovely translucent chips of garlic all over your dish. If you have garlic left: just cover the blades with the provided airtight cover and pop the slicer into the fridge for the next day( I personally would not leave it longer than that as it just looses aroma).It is easy enough to clean though you need to watch your digits - those blades are SHARP.All in all a great little aid and one of the gadgets you won't end up tossing.

This is a great improvement on my existing garlic press which just tends to squash the clove & compress it into the implement. It is easy to use & slices the garlic very finely. I find it needs a brush to clean it effectively but overall I am very happy with it

Over the years I have tried all sorts of garlic presses and, although I finally found a very decent one, cleaning them after use remains a pain. I then decided slicing was the way forward, paper thin slicing. Having tried various bit of kit I came a costs this little gem. Pricier than I would have liked but definitely a case of 'you get what you pay for'. Perfect, wafer thin slices every time and cleaning is a doddle. I shall be throwing out all of my other 'garlic implements' and giving this unit pride of place.

Not a massive fan perhaps I’m just rubbish at using it. It clicks the garlic absolutely perfectly when it works but I find a lot of the time it takes me ages

i like to dry garlic and its so fiddly to peel and thinly slice lots of cloves. Although this doesn't peel, I bought a zak colourway garlic peeler for that, it slices perfectly. Lovely and thin, and very easy. Pop garlic in and turn. I've tried it with parmesan cheese too, and that work just as well..i highly recommend this product. Simple to clean too.

Cut really thin useless in the kitchen

I use this only for slicing galic when I want it sliced really thin. It never manages to do the last bit but other than that it's fine.

Just brilliant, lives in the fridge with peeled ail in and delivers fine slices of garlicky goodness to your meals. When you need to clean it, splits into 3 and goes in the dishwasher. Can be used for other small veggie comestibles that need slicing very thinly.
