Microplane Garlic Mincer and Slicer Set (Black)

I was somewhat skeptical about this product even though it is a Microplane product. I have most of their products in my kitchen and all work better than advertised or described. This product was not a disappointment. It took a few minutes to figure out how it worked. I had read some of the 1 star reviews of this product and realized that the reviewers had not figured out how to use the product as I had, but once I had it working it does exactly as described and minces and slices garlic without any problems at all. I have a lot of garlic press/mincers in my kitchen gadgets drawers and cabinets but this one is going to replace a bunch of them. The secret to this device's use is getting the slide mechanism over the blade before putting it into the clear catch unit. Then when you finish you can pull the blade out of catch unit for cleaning. Sliding the slide unit to one end of the blade and tilt it away while pushing down on the opposite end of the blade (along the plastic edge to disengage it from the blade -- simple. It might be a single purpose product, but for what it's designed for it does it both efficiently and well. Another win for Microplane.

This is complete garbage. You risk cutting yourself putting it together. The item doesn't work well, slicing blade bent on first use. Wasn't worth the hassle to return. Just threw it out.

I've used this mincer a long time and needed a new one. It was easy to find and you made it easy to replace.

Very disappointed in this product. It is difficult to put together but even harder to take apart which you have to do to get the garlic and clean it. The grater shreds the garlic in long strips and the slicer didn't do a good job at all. The blades are designed to cut in either direction which make it hard to clean safely.

It worked no better than my mini mandolin. Did not slice evenly. Garlic didn’t appear sliced but poorly hacked in uneven bits. Will not trust Milk Street’s recommendation again

I wish this could be a little bit larger to make it easier to hold in my hands. Other than that it is very nicely designed. I can grate an entire bulb of garlic in just a short time which is wonderful for making my cream cheese garlic spread. Everything is easy to clean and it even has a small device to scrape out all of the garlic from the reservoir. I haven’t actually used the planer to make thin slices yet but I can’t imagine that it would be any less functional than the grater.

I love this gadget so much

Threw mine out today. It doesn't work well and is a pain to clean. The item is advertised to mince but it doesn't. It shreds exactly like you would have if you used a grater. Fine if you like your garlic grated, but then why not just use a grater? Much easier to clean. Tried several times to slice garlic and sometimes I could get it to produce paper-thin slices, but each time it stopped working after only a few slices. Not entirely sure why, but the blade seems to clog too easily. In any event, you have to peel the cloves exactly as you would prepare them for other uses. A knife gives you faster mince and far less clean-up.

I thought this would be a handy size, but thebdesigb is not practical to use. And its even worse because The grater was not sharp enough and you had to apply a lot of pressure to grate the garlic. Shipping also took a long time...almost 10 days. I have returned the item but after nearly 2 weeks the seller has yet to process my refund.

No delays. Item as described.

結構使えます スライス刃とみじん切りはの交換が硬くて苦労しました 商品紹介画像では赤い色なのですが届いた商品はブラックでした 商品名に「ブラック」と入っていることに気付かなかったことが原因なのですが、やはりちょっとガッカリ 色で機能が変わるわけでもないので★3個にしました

I’m not a fan. Didn’t mice as well as I had hoped. I went back to my old one.

思ったより使えない〜 使い方の問題かな？
