The best invention since sliced bread

[Wizard]

A garlic peeler that works. So simple you kick yourself for not thinking of it first. It is a simple 4 X 4 inch piece of thin supple rubber. Much like the gripping rubber for taking off jar lids. Roll the unpeeled garlic cloves inside the rubber. Put it on a hard surface and roll it back and forth a couple of times. Open up the rubber and you have a cleaned garlic clove. Made by Norpro for$3.99. Or, you can cut a square of thin rubber you have no use for.
I love to cook but peeling garlic is a chore.

Those work very well.   


If my garlic is old I use it but when it's fresh I just smack it with my hand on the flat of the knife pull it free.

Here is another good idea that I had to do when I moved back to Chicago from Sarasota FL in 1989!  I had no snow shovel so I improvised and cut down a sheet of plywood.  I've seen a lot of others do this and post online years later and I am sure I am not the first to do this...

Wizard sounds good and I love fresh garlic in or on just about everything and this sounds like an easy way to clean it up.
