I hate dealing with garlic! So, I’ve devoted a bit of research and a few dollars to resolving the problem and would like to show you my process for dealing with those little cloves more efficiently.
Click on first photo to set up slide series with explanatory notes. Continue hitting on the arrows to proceed through the series:
These two little devices have helped incredibly.
The other device is readily available in your kitchen no doubt. Put an entire bulb of garlic into a mixing bowl.
Put another bowl over the top and shake vigorously.
With larger juicier cloves, this process will separate the cloves and remove all the skin the skin, but with smaller cloves, the outer skin will detach
and leave you with cloves with the inner skin still attached
Put the cloves individually into the roller
and press down with the heel of your hand. Roll on hard surface, back and forth.
Cloves will be slipped out of their inner coats.
Roll the garlic mincer (available on the internet) over the clove.
Voila! minced garlic.

If the cloves are very small and hard, it takes more muscle power, for sure.

The rubber tube is a wonderful gadget — I’ve not seen the garlic mincer before — it looks very efficient!

For some reason this keeps coming out in Spanish and Mexican pesos rather than U.S. dollars.. Even when I went on a Proxy server.

I admit it. I have given up the battle to chop fresh garlic and buy chopped garlic. In a jar. A BIG jar.

Finally, I got to see this post, Judy. I’d had an electric one for years, until it went to the great garlic peeler place in heaven, so I got the tube (from Amazon), and it worked, but it did need some physical effort. I found a different one on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Chefn-Twistn-Peel-Garlic-Peeler/dp/B00B1OS1NC/ref=sr_1_121?crid=3LM43PSVHXB07&keywords=garlic+peeler&qid=1561443274) which I find easier to work with, but I still think my husband is the best garlic peeler by far!
As to chopping and dicing, I still have my old trusty electric one, thank G-d!
Enjoy your new gadgets!
