 Use it daily! Oct 15, 2009
By AuntieEm
Being in food service for over thirty years, my kitchen is loaded with too many gadgets, appliances, and books to count. This little gem is my favorite and gets used several times a day and is my favorite gift item to friends and family who enjoy cooking.
Originally, I bought one when visiting my brother in New York on a five restaurant a day diet/binge. I was planning a wine dinner built around black truffles and was trying to find a good truffle shaver. All sorts of expensive mini mandolins to be sure but then I found this inexpensive item. Yes it shaves chocolate and truffles, but it works great on razor thin to thicker slices of, garlic, cucumber, carrots, ginger (slide with the grain), celery, parmesan, etc. Two points. First, do NOT wash in the dishwasher! This will prematurely dull the blade. Second, with the hand holding the shaver, once you've dialed in the thickness you like, use your forefinger from underneath to push up on the blade to keep it consistently at the desired thickness.
Bought several on Amazon to give as gifts and they love it.

 Makes wafer-thin slices of whatever! Feb 28, 2012
By Dawn Marie Currin
"Buy stuff, Do things!"
I haven't used this for chocolate, as I haven't figured out a way to hold the chocolate without it melting.
HOWEVER, what I do use this for is slicing really thin slivers of garlic, mainly for frying in butter to use as a topping on steaks. This excels at that task! My only gripe with it is that sometimes the adjusting screw that holds the blade on the body of the shaver will work its way out and fall into the food you're preparing.
