I've been doing this for a couple of years now, works great.

Want to get the stink of garlic off your fingers? Wet and wipe then along your stainless steel sink or any stainless steel. No soap needed!

you can buy large jugs of peeled garlic at most chinese markets like T&T

This is true, however, I don't because it usually comes with packaging that isn't biodegradable (styro, plastic film, usually both) and that's a big deal to me. The other thing is you usually don't want to peel garlic until you're just about to use it; the compound that gives garlic its kick (allicin) tends to break down quickly once exposed to oxygen.

Agreed. Also garlic and ginger should be purchased as organically grown if possible as the taste is much better.

Well, like the old saying goes, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
A garlic a day keeps everybody away. Lol

I have silicone mats that I got to make gaskets. I take a piece, place the garlic cloves on it, fold it over and rub back and forth. BAM! 5 seconds and you're done. Great for just doing a couple cloves, but this method above is pretty snazzy. Just tried it. Works like a charm.

I use to do this, but now I live in an apartment and the person below me is a real stiff about loud banging noises. That + wood floors + stinky hands = sad times in frown town.
