Alternatively - many people use a knife - lay the clove on it's side, press with the side of a knife, emphasizing the bottom end of the clove.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (laughing!) - put your dogs on guard to watch that thing! Pull those bulbs out. The skin will be on the bulbs. Cut the top and bottom end of the bulb therefore the skin has nothing to hold onto. Crush the garlic with your knife and the skin will release fairly well so that you can pull it off without touching it too much. Use a small grapefruit spoon or the edge of a knife to scoop the garlic in and out of the twister. Also you can use anything rubbery to fold around the heads to break away the skin (such as those old pieces of rubber used to assist in opening jars). You'll probably use more garlic now. I'm sure your daughter will be thrilled! On 4/21/06, linda <> wrote: > > Okay, you all have been redeemed! Shawn and Amy may breath again. The > Garlic > Twist is wonderful!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I still have to go find a grapefruit spoon. Maybe the thrift store will have one. I do have problems getting all of that wonderful garlic and juice out of the Twister. If it is going into a soup I just rinse the Twister in the soup. Works for me. As I said in the previous post I just slam the clove with the base of the Twister and that works in getting the peel to come off easily although not " stink " free. Yes, my daughter is thrilled! You'll be meeting her best friend shortly. linda " subprong " <subprong > (laughing!) - put your dogs on guard to watch that thing! > > Pull those bulbs out. The skin will be on the bulbs.
