You will need garlic, and a rubber lid gripper/lid opener like this one:

1. Place the rubber lid gripper on a flat surface.

2. Place an unpeeled clove of garlic on the rubber lid gripper.

3. Roll the lid gripper up (like a tortilla), tight, with the garlic clove inside.

4. Gently roll it back and forth a few times.

5. Unwrap the lid gripper. The peel of the garlic clove should be loose.

6. Pull the peel away from the garlic and discard.

7. If you don’t wish to touch the garlic, use the lid gripper to transfer your unpeeled garlic clove to your cutting board or pot.

Minimal fuss. Minimal mess. And this garlic peeling kitchen hack only takes seconds!
