Summary: 4 Stars
This is a handy little tool that does exactly what it says it will do. If you put unpeeled cloves in it and roll it around the cloves will come out unpeeled. Its pretty handy when you need to peel alot of garlic and also very nice to get kids involved with cooking. Its fun, helpful and doesnt involve knives so any age child can do it. Also *uncut* cloves are less likely to leave your hands smelling like garlic.
That said...I have rarely used this. And if i hadnt gotten it as a gift, i probably wouldnt have it. I rarely use *SO* many cloves that getting out another kitchen tool feels warrented. And garlic smell can be removed by washing with a stainless steel spoon. I can only think of very few times that a good *whack* with a kitchen knife wouldnt be faster and easier.
I can see this being good for adding to a *kitchen gift basket with an italian theme*... a newlywed kitchen gift for a couple who hasnt already got a drawer full of gadgets... for a family with children who want to get their children to partipate... for a disabled person who has difficulty with working with knifes... for dishes where you need alot of whole cloves...
I gave it a 4 not cause it doesnt do what it says..but becasue it falls under the catagory of *do you really need this?*
Customer Review: Fun kitchen gadget, good for kids
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're trying to get your kids to help out in the kitchen, this will help them see cooking as fun. Rolling the little tube is very easy (just press down a bit as you're doing it) and is the right size for little hands.
I use mine mostly when I'm making roasted garlic - shucking 5 garlic heads can take a lot of time, so I thought I'd give this a try. While it's fun to use, it takes a while to actually get the garlic skins off. Instead, I've been using it to 'crack' the skin off and then peel it off by hand which does save me some time. Roll once or twice then shuck. Otherwise, you do have to clean it out every two or three cloves, and if you use water then it takes forever to get going again - this is the reason why I'm only giving this four stars.
