- the Good Grips
Garlic Peeler
Best Garlic Peeler EVER!
Amazingly Quick, Easy Way to Peel Garlic
My husband and I will NEVER peel garlic the old fashioned way again. This garlic peeler roller tube makes the job super simple. I'm getting several more this year for our kids who cook; they will make great stocking stuffers for Christmas.
Quick, no mess and no stinky fingers! Yay! THIS is how to peel garlic! :)
Roll the Garlic Peeler
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.

Pause for a Poll - One Hand or Two?
Would you be a one-handed roller or a two-handed roller?
Look - No Peels on the Garlic Cloves!
You'll be amazed how quickly you can clean an entire head of garlic. This garlic peeler is fast becoming one of our favorite kitchen tools.

A Look Inside
The proof is inside the garlic peeler roller tube. Most of the garlic peels remain inside the tube after use.

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.

Will you be using either of these methods to peel garlic?
I have to agree, I hate peeling garlic. This is a cool little gadget. Neat idea!
I love this idea for peeling garlic! Garlic and onions are 2 of my favorite flavorings. I buy garlic already peeled at the local chinese market but it's sometimes old.
Great idea. I hate peeling garlic! Normally I cheat and buy the stuff that's already peeled and chopped. :-)
fun gadget ... love it!
Thanks for introducing me to two new ways to peel garlic!
Pretty nifty device.
love this useful gadget. thanks for the tip
Wow, I'd never heard of this garlic peeler. Garlic is a pain to peel... that sticky yuck that makes the peels stick to my fingers. Great information! Love the hands (and hand) on demos!
Wow. Thanks for the tip. I tried using fresh garlic for a while, but then decided it wasn't worth the effort. Perhaps I'll reconsider now that I know how the pro's do it.

@Helene-Malmsio: Yeah, we used to do that too, except when we roast the whole garlic, we don't want the cloves to be crushed at all. This gadget keeps the garlic cloves intact....just removes the peels. :)
I didn't know a garlic-peeling gadget even existed! Just added it to my Amazon shopping cart. Thanks for the info!
Clever gadget, I just use the flat of a knife blade and crush the clove slightly, then the skin just falls off....
I always get my husband to peel the garlic, thanks for sharing this information
