I use two hands to roll the garlic peeler tube firmly on a solid work surface. This is the easiest way for me.

Use Two Hands or One....

My husband uses the garlic peeler with one hand. Give it a try both ways. Either method works quickly and easily to peel the garlic cloves.

Rinse and Clean

After peeling as many garlic cloves as you need, rinse the garlic peeler tube under running water. (It is also safe on the top shelf of the dishwasher if preferred.)

Just remember to allow the garlic peeler to dry thoroughly before using again. Store in the ventilated plastic case for safe keeping.
