Joseph Joseph 2-in-1 Mini Grater & Slicer – Compact Kitchen Tool with Sharp Stainless Steel Blades

I dehydrate garlic for flakes and powder. I find it does best in even slices, but this task usually takes a decent amount of time. This tool helps you slice evenly and quickly with an added feature to keep fingers safe. The photo is two whole heads of garlic and it took about two minutes to complete. It is easy to clean after and is not too big, so easy to store. I imagine it would be nice for slicing other small vegetables such as radish or Brussels sprouts. Note that the guard only works on the slicing side, so if you plan to use this for grating or zesting, you will not have that safety feature. Overall, I am happy with the purchase for my purpose.

Excellent product.

I love when you have a utensil that can do more than one thing. You have the option to grate something or slice it. The slicing is so fine it’s perfect. It has a built-in guard so that you don’t cut yourself. It also comes with a sleeve for storage. You can’t go wrong and you won’t be disappointed.

Caution: This item is NOT what most of you think it is! Having bled all over my garlic one too many times from using the normal microplaner, and not impressed with garlic presses, I began searching for something that would cut up garlic and ginger quickly and easily and bloodlessly. I originally bought a poor piece of useless plastic called "multifunctional microplaner..." but that was just a lie. It was a non-sharp grater that didn't work at all. Then I came across this microplaner! I was so excited to find the microplaner rather than the grater, that I bought it without reading the reviews. See? Just drop the garlic clove in the hopper and all your fingers are safe! Yay! NOPE. Not even. But the pictures looked so perfect for what I wanted that I stupidly didn't read the comments and reviews!!! What's this world coming to? This small device may slice radishes perfectly, as shown in the pictures, but I don't like or eat radishes. What I do like is tiny little pieces of garlic and ginger. This item does not make tiny little pieces of garlic and ginger any better than my normal microplaner. It is potentially awesome, but ends up totally wrong. As you've read by now, there is no finger guard for the microplaner side. This device is no safer for making garlic or ginger than the normal microplaner. I love the size and shape and it has such great potential. It could be fixed by a number of seemingly simple manufacturing tweaks - two I instantly thought of are 1) make the blade itself removable/reversible so you could turn it flip it and still use the guard, or put a guard groove on the other side so that you can move the guard back and forth to either side as needed. So, I'm still looking for the perfect garlic/ginger tiny piece maker. Sorry for the long useless venting review, but it seems like it is getting easier and easier for Amazon to fool me, or of course, maybe I am just getting stupider and stupider. :O

Nice and handy kitchen tool - slices carrots, celery and small sized veggies really well and was exactly what I was looking for. Not as crazy about the grating section of this tool - don't think it works as well as some of my other graters.

This is amazing for slicing and shred/mincing garlic. It is not great for slicing ginger root, but is great for shred/mincing it. I am so excited for this!! This will not work with soft stuff like cucumber and it isn't designed to. I haven't had it for long, but I hope they keep making and selling this for years to come for when I need a replacement!

Saw this item being used on Facebook cooking show. It perfectly slices garlic cloves razor thin and no danger of injuring yourself!

I purchased this hoping it would grate ginger without grating my fingers. But it does not grate well. I ended up chopping the ginger with a knife. Tried using it for zesting an orange. No luck. It seems that the sharper side of the grater is on the back where the finger guard isn't. Even trying to use that side without the guard doesn't work well. It is great for slicing garlic, though--and for that I'll keep it.

Cannot grate garlic or anything else.. CN only slice. Huge Design flaw.

Diese Mini-Reibe ist perfekt! Super, dass es auch eine Abdeckung gibt. Würde ich jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

Small but perfectly formed.

Heel fijn in gebruik
