Garlic Slicer Review

Garlic Slicer
Average Reviews:

But for slicing, it definitely doesn't. I have tried it several times, and each time the garlic gets crushed instead of sliced. The problem is that the holder is so hard to move back and forth, so it ends up smashing the garlic.
Not worth it.

This simple device slices on one side and shreds on the other. Put the clove of garlic into the holder and slide it over the blades. Perfect results every time. Also works great with ginger and other vegetables. 9" long

I purchased this Garlic Press and Slicer because of the slicer feature. I already have a good garlic press. However, it broke at the handle the first time I used it.

Chef'n Garlic Machine Review

I agree with some of the other posts. It is a good idea, but not entirely foolproof. First, fresh garlic does not last forever - every week or so, toss out unused garlic, clean with at least some hot water, and re-fill with fresh cloves. Second, the comments about odor are correct. However, there are a couple ways to overcome this: One, wipe it off with a paper towel after every use. It only takes a second. Two, store it in a gallon-size ziploc bag in the fridge. It take no more effort and space to do this. If you want to go a step further, put a little baking soda in the bag. These are effortless solutions that take maybe 90% of odors. I also keep it in the egg compartment in the door (since, ironically, it is the worst place to store eggs) as an additional barrier and quick access.
For me, it does not take the place of freshly prepared garlic in nice dishes -- but it works very well for a quick addition of nearly-fresh garlic. I recommend it if you use garlic frequently, or would but for the trouble. If you buy the minced garlic in jars, you'll get your money back in a few months by using this and buy heads of garlic.

Rösle 12782 Garlic Press Review

Rösle 12782 Garlic Press
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There's no doubt that the Rosle is extremely good--in fact, I would have given it five stars just a few weeks ago. But then I purchased the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press (#2315), after reading a recent review of it in Cook's Illustrated. After repeatedly comparing the two side-by-side, the Kuhn is unquestionably the better press. It's also about $8 cheaper here on Amazon, but that's just a bonus--I didn't consider price for this review.
What's strange is that the crushing mechanisms appear to be identical. In fact, prior to crushing with the Kuhn, I felt disappointed when I received it, convinced that I had just bought the same garlic press twice. However, for whatever reason (and it remains a mystery to me), the Kuhn's crushing of garlic is clearly superior in two ways: 1) It produces a more beautifully consistent mince of the garlic, whereas the result from the Rosle seems more "smashed" by comparison. The difference isn't subtle--I was honestly shocked by it. 2) The pressing is more complete, with less left behind in the hopper, and it presses unpeeled garlic better, as well. (That said, I get a much better press from either unit with peeled cloves.)
Ergonomically, the shape of the Kuhn also handles better, although I never had a problem with the Rosle. And I'd say both units have stainless steel construction of equally high quality. For me, it was the crushing performance and not the handling that has sadly relegated my Rosle to the drawer, since I now always reach first for the Kuhn.

Kuhn Rikon Easy-Squeeze Garlic Press Review

Kuhn Rikon Easy-Squeeze Garlic Press
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I owe the Kuhn Epicurean all-stainless garlic press and love it. My mother was visiting recently and was impressed with it, but found it a bit hard to squeeze and thought it was better suited to a larger hand. My 12-year old daughter, who likes to cook, made the same remark.
I wanted to give my mother a garlic press, and thus, this "Easy-Squeeze" unit seemed ideal. However, we found it no easier to squeeze than the Epicurean. Furthermore, the red handles are plastic and not as brightly colored or shiny as the online image suggests. The press has a flimsy or squishly feeling relative to the Epicurean. As we're squeezing, you can feel the handles bend, as well as wobble slightly side-to-side.
It still presses garlic beautifully. The actual pressing mechanism and screen are made of the same high-quality stainless steel as in the Epicurean. It is just as easy to clean.
For the price ($19.95 vs. $39.95), this easy-squeeze unit may be a good deal, but we much prefer the heft and solid feeling of the Epicurean. We feel like the Epicurean will last a lifetime and don't mind spending the extra money. However, with the easy-squeeze, the question for me is not IF it will fail, but WHEN?
We've only used it one day, so maybe I'm worrying about something that will never happen. However, I intend to return this press and give my mother the Epicurean instead.

Chef'n GarlicZoom XL Rolling Garlic Chopper, Avacado Review

Chef'n GarlicZoom XL Rolling Garlic Chopper, Avacado
Average Reviews:

Minces garlic in seconds and your fingers don't get all garlicky. I love it. I had the regular size and by accident, I threw away the blade/chopper with the food scrap. So I decided to upgrade to the XL, and I like the XL better. With the regular, I had to cut a garlic clove in half for it to chop more easily and quickly (unless the clove was small, then I wouldn't have to halve it first). With the XL, I can put the whole clove in, even put 2 cloves (3 would be hard) and it chops easily. The XL also has more blades and thus chops faster than the regular. I've gotten used to cleaning it now. In the beginning, I did think it was a little annoying, though well worth the time saved by not mincing by hand. The XL is easier to clean because it's bigger. And now I am careful not to put the blades near my food scrap.

Enjoy fresh chopped garlic without mess or hassle, and get it in faster, easier, and larger quantities than ever before. A bigger version of the original GarlicZoom, the GarlicZoom XL Rolling Garlic Chopper has bigger wheels, bigger blades, and a bigger body. Simply place fresh garlic through the top of GarlicZoom and roll. It chops as it rolls. Cleanup is easy, since the chopper is top-rack dishwasher safe. This makes a great gift idea for any kitchen enthusiast.

Jamie Oliver All purpose 3-in-1 Peeler Review

Jamie Oliver All purpose 3-in-1 Peeler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was given this and the flavor shaker for Christmas. Neither item worked as advertised. The peeler has a very thin metal tip that bends easily - so it usually only peels a very thin piece of the potato. Which means I have to work and work to get a full potato peeled. And because the metal was so flimsy, it wouldn't go in any grooves of the potato at all - those had to be hand done carefully. I ended up throwing it away and using the more reliable Oxo.
The shaker is another story - never worked right. The seal came right off and it would never close fully. I might as well have grabbed my spice rack and dumped it all over the floor in mad abandon - because when the top comes off the shaker, everything goes everywhere.
That's it for me and Jamie Oliver sponsored products. Clearly, he's raking in the money and not too worried about quality.

This uniquely designed 3-in-1 peeler from Jamie Oliver features three interchangeable blades that help you tackle all of your peeling needs. The straight vegetable blade is great for peeling hard fruit and vegetables, while the soft fruit blade is ideal for peeling the skins of tomatoes and kiwis. It also comes with a julienne blade to create thin strips of vegetables. Each blade can be stored compactly in the specially designed storage kit, so you can keep the peeler and the blades together in the drawer.
To swap the blades, simply put the blade cover onto the blade, press the button on the handle,grip the black "Y" blade frame and pull it away from the handle. Then insert another blade onto the frame and push it into the handle until it clicks. It's designed by DKB household and Jamie Oliver--one of Britain's best loved chefs with several popular television series including the groundbreaking "Naked Chef" and millions of cookbooks sold around the world. Dishwasher safe.

Zyliss 12040 Jumbo Garlic Press with Cleaner Review

I have been using this garlic press for over two years now and consider it to be the best press I have ever used! The well for the garlic is very large, accommodating more than one garlic clove at a time. When only pressing one or two cloves, you don't really have to peal the cloves, the pressing action does it for you! A little more hand pressure is required when pressing more than two cloves at a time. Cleanup is a breeze with hot soapy water.

A kitchen essential, this jumbo-size garlic press makes it easy to cook with fresh garlic. The unit can accommodate several cloves at a time, with a clever design that eliminates the need for peeling prior to pressing. Simply place unpeeled cloves into the oversized hopper and firmly squeeze the ergonomic handles together. The press instantly removes the peelings and extracts the garlic bits and juice through its mesh shield, creating a fine dice that would have otherwise required several steps with a knife and cutting board. Best of all, its included cleaning tool sports tiny teeth that fit perfectly into the pressing surface, removing all traces of garlic fragments in one smooth move. Use the handy tool to add fresh garlic to authentic Italian dishes, delicious homemade breads, savory soups, and more. The dishwasher-safe garlic press measures approximately 11-8/9 by 1-2/3 by 4-2/3 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.

MIU Stainless-Steel Garlic Press Review

MIU Stainless-Steel Garlic Press
Average Reviews:

This garlic press looks good on paper. With its interchangeable plates, you can adjust the size of the pressed garlic - a great idea. But this contraption is so big and cumbersome, it's a mess to use. Not to mention the fact that it's just too easy to pinch your fingers between the handles as you press down - foolish design. So while this sure looks good sitting in the drawer, it's not a practical kitchen tool, and I'd suggest sticking to Oxo or Zyliss or another tried-and-true design.

Since I own both this Kuhn Rikon and the Rosle garlic presses, I have posted this comparison on the Rosle reviews, as well:
There's no doubt that the Rosle is extremely good--in fact, I would have given it five stars just a few weeks ago. But then I purchased the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press (#2315), after reading a recent review of it in Cook's Illustrated.

This handsome, all stainless-steel garlic press makes quick, efficient work of pressing garlic or ginger. Place even unpeeled garlic cloves inside and get the pressed garlic you want. Designed to fit comfortably into the palm of the hand, it has been engineered to require far less effort to use than other presses. Cleaning is easier than ever since the sieve hinges out to flush clean under water. The press can also be washed in this dishwasher. A solid, basic tool for any kitchen, the garlic press makes a great gift.

This garlic press is indestructible. Put 4 or 5 cloves in it and give it all you got. Put in 4 or 5 again and let 'er rip. Swing the handles back fully the other way and self clean.Rinse with hot water and put it away to dry.I'm a big guy with the hands of a dairy farmer and every garlic press I touched turned into twisted metal and popped rivets until I found this one well over ten years ago. Over the years I would regularly pick up a few at a local retail outlet and give them as gifts to my ham fisted friends. When I spotted them on Amazon, I ordered 3 and was thrilled because I no longer live where I can shop that old retail outlet.I will continue to buy several new ones each year and pass them out to my new friends and acquaintances. I have never heard back from anyone I have given one of these that it had to be retired for any reason and my original still looks and works like new.One consideration might be that if you fill it up full, a smaller female hand may not have the breadth of grip to get a good hold of it and they may have to put a clove or two fewer inside to be comfortable or develop a two handed technique.
