I just busted out the new garlic peeler and slicer and I love them! There are just some recipes that you don't want to use minced garlic (garlic press) for. I always hated trying to peel the cloves with my hands, always poked myself and never could get it off right! The garlic peeler worked really quick and easy. Then I put them in the slicer. It worked so smoothly and made nicely proportionally slices. I always hated slicing garlic because either you had to drag out the mandoline (the biggest item for the smallest food!) or do it by hand. These are a plus in my book! DH loved them too.

Oh yeah and I LOVE the grinder stand! Looks great with the grinders.
 
Totally agree with you, wadesgirl! I used the peeler and slicer tonight to make the al fresco chicken (yum). It's great to not have my fingers smell like garlic for days!

I'm happy that the grinder stand's wells are deep - you can pick up and pass the salt and pepper without them sliding off.

Yes DH loves the stand. Now I need to get another one for my kit, it looks great to display. The grinders are one of my number one seller from the past season.
 
Finally had a chance to use the Garlic Slicer today. (I also used our Garlic Peeler for the first time, but I've used a similar one for years.) I sliced garlic to saute with the beef for our vegetable soup.I always put mushrooms in our veggie soup. I tried slicing some shrooms. It worked well. It makes curly little slices. I'm leaving those for The Furry Guy to sprinkle on/in his soup. Next I want to use it on fresh ginger. I love trying the new products. :)

Just Baby Bellos--nothing to be concerned about. ;)
 
Just tried it on ginger. It's great. Thin little slivers with lots of flavor. I sliced it into a glass and added sparkling water. Yum. It would work well with hot water for ginger tea.
Nerd moment: anything that doesn't contain actual tea leaves isn't really tea. It's a tisane or infusion.
 
I've always been such a die-hard garlic press girl....but tried the peeler/slicer the other day & they did work great!
 
I broke both of mine out yesterday, finally, and loved how easy it was!

I'm still a die-hard garlic press girl. This just gives us another tool for fine-tuning our cooking. When you want a mellower garlic taste, use the slicer. When you want a full-on garlic taste, use the press.
