Garlic peeler

A garlic peeler is a kitchen utensil used to take off the skin off the garlic cloves. The most common device is a silicone or rubber tube. Using hands to apply a moderate pressure and to rotate the tube on a cutting board or a table makes the skin get off the clove. It was invented by Ben Omessi, a retired American architect who was designing home items for people with disabilities and it was patented in 1998.[1][2][3]

Also a food chopper can be used to peel garlic, by replacing the blades with a central device having a surface featuring large bumps. The rotation will push the cloves to bounce between the wall and the bumpy surface, taking the skin off.[4]
