If you have ever tried to “peel” fresh garlic, it can be maddening. The thin, light paper covering each garlic clove is almost impossible to pick off and as you try to peel off the paper, you get sticky garlic juice on your fingers which the papers stick to like glue!
The secret is to smash the garlic clove with the flat side of a knife blade. It is so easy to remove the peel after the clove is crushed!
They also make garlic crushes that you can throw the whole clove into and it squishes the garlic through the holes leaving behind the protective skin. The cons are that it seems garlic is wasted and it requires clean up.
I recently bought a garlic "peeler". It is basically a flexible silicone tube that you put the glove into and then roll it on a hard surface. It works pretty well too.
