Zyliss Garlic Slicer

This is a nifty little tool for slicing garlic cloves quickly. It gives fairly uniform, and faster, results than I've been able to achieve using just a knife and my (carefully curled!) fingers. It's really a miniature mandoline with a little holder to keep your fingers clear of the blade, and a compartment underneath to hold the slices. I don't know if it could be used for anything else.

It does have some drawbacks: the main issue I have found is that there is no way to adjust the thickness of the garlic slices it produces, and there are times when I'd like them to be thinner. Also, the compartment that holds the garlic cloves has a tendency to pop out of the main unit, if you're not careful.

Slicing garlic cloves with this tool is pretty quick; the most time-consuming part of using it is peeling the garlic cloves before placing them into the slicer. Smacking them with a knife blade to loosen the peel doesn't work very well, because if the cloves are squished they don't slice as well.

It's pretty easy to clean, as long as you're mindful of the sharp blade that is fixed in the main body of the tool. I recommend it for producing consistent slices of garlic.

Reasonably good quality, and very effective. I'm dinging it one star because the top sliding element tends to pop out of place until I figured out the right way to hold it down while slicing while also NOT slicing my fingers. (Grab the slider with thumb and forefinger and push down on the longitudinal "shelves" while pushing it back and forth.

This tool works well and isn't difficult to clean. It slices the garlic thinly instead of shredding it into a million tiny pieces. Very good for the price.

Both my wife and I are garlic lovers. For many years, we've used the 2-in-1 style garlic press/garlic slicers. The first one we bought lasted us several years, but finally needed replacement. The Martha Stewart branded press/slicer lasted for 3 uses before it splintered at the hinge. After searching in vain for a good replacement, we decided it was time for a separate garlic press and slicer. We bought the OXO which does a nice job on minced garlic. We waited a bit longer before deciding on the Zlyss slicer. It is like a mini mandoline. The cloves go in the hopper and a few back and forths and lovely slices are delivered into the plastic container below. It's a breeze to use, simple to clean, and a very welcome addition to our kitchen. Highly recommended!
