can this be used without peeling the garlic?

Yes. I use it all the time that way. Does it cleanly extract all the garlic? No. But it quick and easy. Prob. 80% expelled. Definitely beats peeling and cutting for most stir frys. I end up using garlic more often now when cooking. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried. I would think so, its very heavy duty and it is very easy to clean out what doesn't pass through. I am accustomed to peeling the garlic before mincing though...sorry!
1334647
Yes. I would recommend rinsing it between cloves/loads though because if you don't, some of the skin from the previous load can get in there. I agree that there is a small amount of garlic waste; about 10-15%

You must peel the skin before using this tool or it will not work correctly.

Yes I think you could , it's very heavy duty and I think the skin would just stay in the trap. I have had a couple that I didn't peel super good and that's what happened.

Yes, but whether or not you peel it, it leaves a lot of garlic in the press. Don't waste your money on this poorly made unit.

I use a "peel". I never lift the stome out of the oven when it is hot. Hope this helps.

It peels when you hit the cloves with the twist. It has a raised area on the bottom. Works pretty good! I also throw a whole head into a Tupperware container and shake the heck out of it. Then I put the extra cloves in the container in the fridge and use them all week.

I found it very easy to clean. You may have to stick your finger in it to clear some of the garlic residue but it's not a big deal at all.

There is a video review of this gizmo on You Tube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb4042k5Yrg&feature;=player_embedded). Jaden put in unpeeled garlic and gave it only a couple of twists. This broke up the garlic a bit but the peel still seemed to be fairly intact and came off cleanly. Then she finished mincing the garlic.

Yes its Easy to clean, a trick i learned to help with this is to put unpeeled clove of garlic in the press. Pull out the left over outer layers and rinse it.

I believe its design for garlic storage I would not put it in the oven. I believe it is not often proof it is not a garlic roaster.

I have never tried to do that.it can be cut, so I don't see why it wouldn't hurt to try it. Just remember to refrigerate and keep it cold,cuz it is sugar and holding on to it will melt. Good luck!

Just went down stairs to try it and it turns into paste, I haven't seen one that would shred, you might try freezing garlic a little first.

Not at all. You can try the garlic or jalpeno or lemon infused. The garlic is my favorite.

Zyliss Garlic slicer works as a mini mandoline. I must say slices the garlic very thin. Lay the garlic on its side. It is a heavy duty plastic. The blades are metal. Works fine.

Not at all, can be sprinkled over a salad or had in hot water as is. No peeling required at all. Happy new year

No. But there are directions on smashing the garlic first with the garlic twist, then the garlic skin easily peels off. You place clove in the twister and it minces the garlic perfectly. Ensure you twist back and forth so the minced garlic gathers in one spot ("V" shaped) for easy removal. I love this product more than my old garlic press.

The grates are sharp enough to grate the garlic but not to grate your fingers. My peeler is dark blue but it really works well! My husband now says "I'll do that" because he likes the way it works. :)

You can but the coating comes off and the pan bends because it is so thin. This is a terrible pan. Its too thin and the coating came off after one use. It certainly is not worth the $19.99 I paid. In fact I have donated the pan, refuse to use again. Sorry I could not be more positive.

If you remove the slicer you also remove the corer. It will only be peeled.

You don't have to do that.not because it says it's garlic you need to refregirator ......I left it for almost a year outside & it was perfectly fine
