No description. How does it work?

You put an unpeeled clove of garlic inside the tube then roll it on the
counter with the palm of your hand. The peel comes completely off and
the clove of garlic stays whole.

I like to grate a whole clove on the micro plane and this gizmo is
wonderful for keeping the cloves whole in the peeling process.

They are a bear to clean, though. 8

Make me wonder why there's no such thing as "garlic glue."

I used part of a bicycle inner-tube when these were first spotted
here in 1995. I used the inner tube for a couple years then I
reverted back to the knife. I have never had use for whole garlic
cloves, otherwise I'd make another tube.

Rolling off the peel would work! Thanks for posting the item. At first I
thought you pound down to get the skin off, but both sides are pointy. I
might have to get one! The way I do garlic I always have the odor on my
fingernails for hours.

thanks!

Use the grater! It's good for garlic, ginger and apples. Mine was intended
for graed apple, but it works precisely like a garlic grater. Italians feed
little tots grated apple quite often.

Hmmm, I don't seem to have a problem peeling garlic. Don't need a gadget
for it. But hey, enjoy!

They have been around for *ages*, I'm suprised you haven't seen one before
now.

Here's a thread from 1996.... they do seem to have come down in price
though :-)

Yeah, it is SO sticky. I just do the squash-with-the-flat-side-of-a-
knife thing, but then it can't be sliced.

Janet,

Keep that ceramic grater in mind when you want to grate some ginger,
although it turns it more into a pulp.

Best,

Andy

No it's not. I just rinse it under the faucet. If there is any peel
stuck, I use a little dish soap on my finger, spread it around and rinse.

I'll have to try it. There is a chip on the rim of the grater, but it
should not be a problem. That's why the whole set as $1

I have never seen one before. I'll stick with the Chinese/Thai celever
and whapping. The thought of giving even a buck to Marty Stewart is
unsettling. Oh boy! She raises her own chickens (or, her hired farmer
does.)

My goodness, janet, I've had this for years.

It's OK, but not a mess to clean. I put mine on a spike on the upper
level of my dishwasher, and its all clean.

No need for *special* handling. It's a pretty good tool.

But: I find myself using it less and less, in favor of traditional
methods.

Traditional methods = 'whapping' :-)

I must have one. It will give me a reason to use my new 6hp. Honda pressure
washer! Arrrrrgggghhhhhhh! That should do it.
