ARE YOU USING THE BLADE OF A KNIFE TO PEEL GARLIC? STOP RIGHT NOW!
Garlic peels tend to cling to the clove. Many cooks deal with this by smashing down on the clove with the flat side of a chefs knife blade, which separates the skin from the garlic. They then pick the peel away with their fingers. The Cestari Kitchen garlic peeler is a better solution! You just place the cloves in the tube, press down on it firmly with the palm of your hand, and briskly roll the tube back and forth for a couple of seconds. Then, empty the tube and watch the peels fall away from the whole, uncrushed garlic cloves.
