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 chef's knife blade, which separates the skin from the garlic. They then pick the peel away with their fingers. While this removes the skin, it has several problems: 1. Knife blades are not meant to take this abuse; it can shorten their lives. 2.The cloves are crushed as part of the process, releasing juices that leave garlic odors on anything they touch. Additionally, garlic has a different flavor in a dish depending on how finely its chopped-- a whole clove produces a more mellow flavor than one that's been smashed. 3. If you smash too hard, you can push the peel into the broken clove of garlic and then it can be messy and time consuming to make sure you've gotten rid of all the peel. The Cestari Kitchen garlic peeler solves all those issues. You just place one or more 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. Discard the peels, and proceed with your recipe! The peeler is dishwasher safe, and, like all our products, is covered by our "no questions asked" lifetime guarantee
