You bring up an interesting point on the removal of the skin. People do use the rubber product you talk about. It is called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004RDDN?ie=UTF8&tag=kitchennet-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00004RDDN" rel="nofollow">E-Z-Rol Garlic Peeler</a>. People can also use a rolled up rubber jar opener or silicone pot holder if they have one or rub the clove between ones fingers. These methods are to be used when the goal is to remove the skin and leave the garlic clove whole. If one doesn't care about keeping the clove whole, you are right the easiest way to remove the skin is to whack it with a knife blade. Maybe we should do a whole article on this. Thanks.

If I don't use a knife, then I use a mini-processor/chopper. Kitchenboy said: > To begin, simply remove the skin ... Oh, my! This in itself could be another blog entry. Some folks use the flexible rubber tubing tool, putting the garlic clove(s) inside and rolling while pressing. Others simply hold a garlic clove in the fingers of both hands and flex it slightly. And was it James Beard who taught the use of the flat of the knife blade to flex the clove and loosen the skin? Also, does one cut off the root end of the clove before or after removing the skin?
