I have had to battle garlic and they’re papery skin, so many times that I had to try something to make the job easier and faster. This silicone tube was my favorite tool from all of my Holiday cooking.
If you want to keep your garlic cloves whole and intact and not crushed or broken into many small pieces (if your recipe does not call for whole cloves, you can use the flat part of a large knife whacking the garlic on a hard surface to get skins off , results can be varied ).
* This peeler is easy to use and is worth the $8 in time saved peeling garlic. I do have a hint take a tiny slice off the root end each clove and you will have great result’s, before you place inside the peeler.
* Place 3 to 4 cloves inside center of the tube, roll firmly on a hard surface back and forth a few times. Shake out cloves and skins will fall away from the garlic cloves, ready to use. If you don’t get all the peel off the first time, repeat.
* You can find this garlic peeler at Amazon and Sur La Table or any other good kitchen store.
* If you make a recipe with large amount of garlic in it … such as the yummy 40 clove garlic Roasted Chicken, this is a life saver.http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Chicken-with-40-Cloves-of-Garlic-105502
