I love garlic and spend lot of time peeling.

Friend suggested to microwave them for 13 seconds to make it easier.... does this sound right?

hmmm
something better is to buy them already peeled- I can get freshly peeled whole cloves at the Asian market for cheap (prefer that then the crushed stuff in bottles which doesn't seem fresh and is in oil)...

Best thing since sliced bread. Seriously. I have no patience for garlic peeling. This thing is amazing. I bet you can find one a dollar store.

I have one of these and they are great! It does make peeling the garlic much easier. I will say though that if I am going to crush or press my garlic, I just smash it with my meat hammer and the peel comes off easily. I use the little silicone thingy when I want to chop or slice the garlic.

Break into cloves, trim the ends, then place in a jar and shake a bit. Most of the peel comes right off w/o "crushing" the clove.
