Default A better mousetrap... and Garlic

No one can compete with Ivan when it comes to discovering new and fabulous tools, instruments, etc. For those AA-ers who cook (and, absolutely... grill), I have come upon a better mousetrap.

I have a very decent set of knives, Shun Classic and Premier, Zwilling Ben Kramer paring knife, a couple Miyabis, and for heavy duty work, some Wustof Classic Ikons. I use a MAC ceramic honing steel to maintain their sharpness and stones for a once yearly “let’s get obsessive” session. I can use at least half of the knives to slice garlic into thin wafers. But when you are slicing garlic thin, there is always that knawing thought, I really like my finger tips and would miss them terribly if...

Anyway, one day it occurred to me to Google “garlic slicer.” And wouldn’t you know it, those geniuses at OXO are really...those geniuses at OXO. Now I had to order it, my local Bed Bath & Beyond didn’t carry it, but now that it has been burned in with at least 200 cloves of garlic, I feel comfortable telling you about the OXO Good Grips Garlic Slicer. It is really a mini-mandolin. A real deal at about $10 (before the BB&B 20% coupon). Very Highly Recommended!!!
