alternative smashing method. place clove on board. place flat of knife on clove. place fist on flat of knife. lean.
actually -flat hand will do , as long as no part of hand is near the sharp edge of knife
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

If you don't smash the garlic with a knife, how do you peel it? The rolling-between-your-hands technique is painful, and those garlic-peely devices always get lost in my house.
Get this! I cut off the bottom and peel by hand, baybee! Sometimes it's tougher than others, as the peel is very clingy, but most times I can get the outer shell off pretty quickly.

OMG, how much do I love little Ethan among his blue things, with his serious face!
edit: Seriously, though, some relative needs to invest in something green or yellow for those kids.

Santoku knives are pretty damn cool.

Beth, my best knife is an IKEA knife, but it may just be that the rest need to be sharpened.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Get this! I cut off the bottom and peel by hand, baybee!
Yeah, that's more time and effort than I'm willing to spend peeling garlic. Smash, yank, done.

My IKEA knife need sharpening , but it is the first non serrated knife I've ever had that will slice a tomato with out crushing it. -- and the concept of even sized slices - it much less of an ideal, and closer to a reality.
