Hi,

I'm new to the list (just signed on today) and interesting that you 
should be talking of garlic.  I have a friend that sells Pampered 
Chef products.  My dh and I are greatly fond of garlic and consume it 
often and in great quantity.  We had become frustrated with peeling 
garlic and had started buying the bottled minced garlic.  No 
comparison to fresh, but we lived with it.  *Until* I went to one of 
my friend's Pampered  Chef parties and saw their garlic press in 
action.  You don't have to peel the garlic.  You stick a clove in 
there press the handle down and the garlic squirts out the holes and 
you simply lift the garlic skins out.  You can't do "Elephant" garlic 
in it, but I have done some large cloves without any problems.  I 
think it runs around $15 and is worth every penny I paid for the joy 
of having fresh garlic without the hassle of peeling it.  Contact 
your local PC consultant and get one of these.  You will thank 
yourself.  BTW, I have yet to see anything as nice on the market.  
Not even William Sanoma.

I neither work for nor make profit from Pampered Chef (just love 
their stuff!)
