Prepare garlic without stinking fingers – A kitchen appliance that finally solves a real problem!

Most of us like it, some hate it: Garlic.
But we all hate to prepare it. Why? Your hands
smell for days and hours and you wished you
hadn‘t touched the mean bulb at all.

Step 1: Put 1-5 garlic cloves in the shaker.
Step 2: Close the lid.
Step 3: Shake it 5 seconds.
Step 4: Open the lid and spill out the garlic cloves.
Now you‘ve got perfekt peeled garlic. Don‘t cut it or put it in the garlic press, that ruins the taste! If you want, you can scrunch it with the flat part of the knife or with the lid of the garlic peeler – you won‘t even have to touch it at all!
