Title: How to Use This Odd Tool and What Its Function Is: A Must-Have in Your Kitchen

Every kitchen is filled with a variety of tools—some familiar, and others a bit more unusual. Some of these tools may seem odd at first glance, but once you understand their purpose, they become indispensable in your daily cooking routine. One such tool is often seen in kitchen drawers, but many are left wondering, “What is this for?”

Today, we’re shedding light on one of these “odd” tools and explaining exactly how to use it and why it’s more useful than you might think. Whether you’ve had this tool lying around for years or just stumbled upon it, we’ll show you how to use it to make your cooking easier and more efficient.

What is This Odd Tool?

If you’re scratching your head wondering what this odd tool is, it’s likely one of those kitchen gadgets that don’t immediately make sense. Perhaps it’s a garlic peeler, a zester, a pitter, or even a spiralizer—tools that seem specific but can make a huge difference in how you prep ingredients.

For today’s example, we’re going to focus on the garlic peeler—that simple, often overlooked tool that can make garlic prep so much easier. While garlic is a staple in almost every dish, peeling it can sometimes feel like an annoying chore. The garlic peeler is designed to take that frustration away, helping you get perfectly peeled garlic cloves with minimal effort. Here’s how it works!

How to Use the Garlic Peeler

Step 1: Place the Garlic Cloves Inside

Take your garlic bulb and separate a few cloves. You can use one or more, depending on how much garlic you need. Place the garlic cloves inside the garlic peeler tube—it’s usually a small silicone or rubber tube, often about the size of a pencil.

Step 2: Roll the Peeler

Hold the garlic peeler securely on a flat surface or counter. With your hands, roll the tube back and forth while gently pressing. This action works because the inner surface of the tube is textured, which helps loosen the skin of the garlic clove.

Step 3: Unroll and Remove the Cloves

After a few seconds of rolling, you’ll notice the garlic cloves are beautifully peeled. Simply remove the garlic cloves from the peeler, and you’re ready to chop, crush, or mince them for your recipe.

This tool works so well because it eliminates the need to manually peel garlic with your fingers, which can sometimes leave a lingering scent or result in unevenly peeled cloves. Plus, it’s much faster than using a knife to separate the skin from the garlic.
