HOW IT WORKS
Before, chefs and home cooks had to use slow, inefficient, unhealthy, smelly and dangerous methods to peel garlic, but now with the Garlic Shaker® you simply break apart an entire head of garlic, separate the cloves, and put them into the Garlic Shaker. Close it. Shake it up for 10-30 seconds, and bam! An entire head of garlic is peeled and ready for roasting, grilling or sautéing.
“The secret is simple physics. Inside are spiral rings that vibrate the garlic before it hits each end popping off the skin without damaging or bruising any of the tender morsels inside,” said Ramos.
Garlic Shaker has two lids, one on each end, for easy cleaning by hand or on the top rack of the dishwasher. Its hour-glass shaped elegant design is as functional, as it is aesthetically pleasing. It is fast becoming the next must-have device for commercial and consumer kitchens.
“We think our modestly-priced garlic peeler looks more like a device designed by Apple than a standard kitchen gadget. We are changing the way people peel garlic by Shaking it Up,” said co-founder Matthew Ramos, a former music business executive who's worked with many national recording artists.
“Cooks have disliked peeling garlic forever. Garlic Shaker turns the tedious task of hand peeling garlic into a fun and playful activity,” said co-founder Adam Wagner, former event designer for Apple and art director for MTV.
Designed for home cooks as well as professional chefs, Garlic Shaker takes the drudgery out of garlic peeling -- whether one clove or dozens -- quickly and easily.
"It's functional with no distracting gimmicks," Ramos said. "We've conducted numerous tests on weight, durability and maneuverability to ensure it exceeds customers’ expectations for how to get peeled garlic safely and fast."
Garlic Shaker is artistically crafted in five designer shades of red, white, blue, black and silver.
Garlic Shaker is 9-inches high, 3.5-inches long, and 3 inches wide. It weighs 9 ounces. It has a patent-pending ergonomic design with multiple impact points to remove garlic skins.
CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS
"Garlic Shaker is like meeting a new friend and wondering how you ever got along without them," said celebrity Chef Alan Lake who has cooked for Bono, George Harrison and Madonna.
“What a stunning-looking garlic peeler. I’ve always disliked peeling garlic. Now I don’t have to because I can just shake it!” Carlos Salomon, owner of Cosecha Café in Oakland. CA.
Garlic Shaker will be in the celebrity gift suite for the Oscars, Emmys and Grammys for 2016.
