Garlic Slice 'n' Press

Been watching Jamie Oliver's cooking shows, haven't had any luck with store-bought garlic presses. He makes it look easy. This thing is solid and works great, no need to peel the garlic, just put it in whole and out comes the garlic. Well worth the price.

Nice device, but wash is a littele problem (Small particles get stuck).

Good for quick saute and pan fry; knife work for large chunky bits.- Ugly to be addressed.i. Slicer uses conventional metal to slice. Over time like any other grater / mandolin, will go blunt. A solution is to strip skin off before slicing to keep edge sharp for longer.Would be nice if presently detachable slicer have spares given and spares on sale. My guess its not worth profit / production cost.Overall, daily Maintenance and Use keeps this 2-in-1 design . Horses for courses. Moderate weight, moderate use. What is moderate use ? My receipes are French double strength and exotic quadruple strength needs for garlic.Should have bought a few more.

I bought this with the Jamie Oliver grater and I love his products. This grater is such a heavy duty product. I haven't done a whole lot of slicing with this but I use the press all the time. I don't know how I lived without a garlic press most of my life. I would buy this and the Jamie Oliver grater over and over and over again! I have told everybody I know about the products and how much I like them. I thought I would tell amazon also.

Love this product. Easy to use, less waste of garlic. Minces and slices beautifully.

I have had quite a few garlic crushers, mostly useless for various reasons, so I was worried that this one might be an expensive mistake! Not so. It is sturdy, feels good in the hand - and although my hand is not very strong, I was relieved to find I can crush the garlic and slice it without difficulty. Thank you Jamie Oliver for a good item, and Amazon for amazingly quick delivery.

This is my second garlic slicer/presser and this brand is just terrible. This slicer mashes, rather than makes nice slices (the blades are too blunt) and the slicer insert keeps coming out. Also, there is no way to clean the slicing pieces. Also, it's not well balanced, so that the head part is much heavier in the hand and it's hard to hold with one hand.It was a waste of $20.Get the AMCO one -- it's much much MUCH better (and a little cheaper!). http://www.amazon.com/Amco-Garlic-Press-Slicer-Cast/dp/B000I1UYKW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1293208714&sr=8-10

does the slicing and mince as needed.however cleaning the thing is really a chore, as the parts don't come out and little pieces get stuck within.Further, this press doesnt peel and slice/mince in one shot as per Jamie's video. In fact the the peels also get sliced along side the garlic which is a complete waste of the garlic piece.I have to peel all the garlic by hand before using this. I use it as a standard press now, which is ok, but not very exciting.

Esse espremedor apresenta muita dificuldade para encaixar o alho e espremer. Não gostei! Caro e não é funcional.

Awesome product. Heavy and good quality- can put in whole cloves in with skin on , does great job. Highly recommend

Love the prompt delivery. Also price, cheaper than some retail stores.

Trovare uno spremiaglio che funzioni davvero e non si rompa, è un'impresa.A prescindere dalla cifra e dal materiale, se va bene si limitano a schiacciare l'aglio senza riuscire a spremerlo, altrimenti, si spaccano direttamente.Questo modello, per fortuna, è diverso.Intanto è solido e abbstanza pesante, robusto, si capisce appena lo si prende in mano.Avevo visto diversi video in rete e sembrava funzionasse temevo solo che venisse utilizzato con spicchi "morbidi" di aglio fresco, invece spreme, lo fa veramente, spicchi del comune aglio, li spreme anche senza sbucciarli(la pressione fa spaccare la pellicina dello spicchio che viene poi schiacciato e svuotato, rimane solo la buccia nell'incavo.Un video che avevo visto su questo prodotto mostrata la ragazza in difficoltà nello schiacciare lo spicchio, e come unica soluzione lo aveva tagliato a pezzetti: assolutamente inutile, sarebbe stato sufficiente tenere la parte che spinge lo spicchio in modo che restasse ferma e si sarebbe schiacciato senza alcun problema.Altra nota positiva il fatto che la parte da cui esce l'aglio sia totalmente liscia, senza rientranze, questo consente di passare la lama del coltello e far cadere la polpa senza sprecarne o dover usare punte per recuperare quella rimasta negli angoli.Ma su tutti il vero pregio è il fatto che DAVVERO schiacci l'aglio riducendolo a piccoli pallini che si sciolgono nelle pietanze cosa che nessuno di quelli che ho avuto in precedenza aveva la forza di fare.L'unica cosa non comodissima è la pulizia della parte che spreme (quella che affetta ha una vaschettina che si asporta e lava singolarmente); probabilmente la pressione che si esercita per la spremitura essendo maggiore, avrebbe rotto una vaschetta e così il pezzo è unico, non è tragico da pulire, intanto perchè va in lavastoviglie senza problemi e poi perchè con un getto di acqua e un po' di sapone, si pulisce bene, ma non è comodo come togliere una vaschettina.Vale assolutamente l'acquisto, cifra proporzionata al valore dell'oggetto, alla sua robustezza e al lavoro che realmente svolgePer tutti quelli che vorrebbero uno spremiaglio e ne hanno già comprati restando insoddisfatti.

Needed a new garlic press, didn't know what to go for then spotted this and wondered if it would meet my needs because some of the reviews were a bit negative. Well.... the price was right so I went ahead and ordered one and I'm very glad that I did!The head is in 2 sections, one for pressing and the other for slicing - does what it says on the tin. Found the press to be really good, garlic crushed more than enough to release the oils and cook evenly. Most of the left over bits and skin come out easily and although its not quite as easy to clean as my old press it isn't too difficult or time consuming. I haven't used the slicer as much but no real problems with the blade system and happy enough with the slivers I've scattered into some of my dishes.Happy with my purchase, looking to a long and tasty relationship with my slice 'n' press!
