Garlic twister update.

[Guest guest]

Let me see...you sent this the 21st and today is what? The 28th? I know that

it is Friday and that is good enough for me!

 

I have mastered the Garlic Twister and highly recommend it too. I have

gotten others to buy it now, even a lady at the kitchen store bought it

based on my telling them what you all said about it. It is the first garlic

gadget that has ever worked, and trust me, I have spent a butt load of money

on garlic gadgets. I have learned to flattened the little cloves with the

underside (decorative side) of the Twister to get the skin off. Yesterday I

did a ton of garlic for the foods I was making ahead and wow it saved me so

much time and it does such a wonderful job of mincing and crushing it.

However, my hands still stink. LOL And for all of you, especially Shawn and

Amy, my daughter has hired Guido to find you all.

 

I love salt like you Shawn. But have developed a real intolerance to it and

swell up like the proverbial toad when I use it. I use that non-chicken base

for a lot of stuff and am having to phase it out too. That is a hard product

to let go of as it makes wonderful base for soups and is so easy. I use

different seaweed products, like kombu, that I spin in the blender and use

in soups which adds flavor and also a thicker base, but I think it is also

high sodium. Hence the garlic. I use a ton of pepper. I use Vegit which is

pretty tasty. As long as I avoid any processed foods it is easier. I like

licking the salt off pretzels but not the pretzels so much. Fritos are good

for licking too. LOL I can't do the salt substitutes as they make my tongue

swell up. Gorgeous thing to have happen...must be the potassium?

I've never tried your Garlic Twister but I'm guessing that this is

where my Swiss garlic press comes into its own as you just put the

whole garlic clove in and squeeze it, the garlic is finely minced

and the peel is left in the press. It is easy to remove the whole

skin using a sharp knife and your hands don't come into contact with

the garlic at all. It really is the most extraordinary thing.
