I bought a garlic press from QVC. First you roll the garlic clove in the rubber sheet, and it removes the skin. Then you put it in the tall cylindrical thing and put the cap on that has a long cylinder in it and it presses the garlic. Then you unscrew the bottom and you have wonderfully pressed garlic, gut I don't remember the name of the device. Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: "E.
