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.

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.
