Rebound Garlic Peeling Apparatus and Method

A rebound garlic peeling apparatus comprising a rubberlike, polymeric, hollow, spherical member separable into halves, said spherical member having:

• a first hemispherical section including a nested interior hemisphere presenting a male threaded section disposed above a sealable rim of the first hemispherical section;
• a second hemispherical section including a nested interior hemisphere having a female threaded section disposed below a sealable rim of the second hemispherical section;
• and
• an interior layer disposed concavely upon each of the interior hemispheres of each of the first and second hemispherical sections, said interior layer having a high coefficient of friction;
• wherein at least one clove is positionable interior to the spherical member when the first and second hemispherical sections are rotationally engaged and secured together by threadable engagement to effect conjunction of each sealable rim and a tunic and sheath of the at least one clove is separable by frictional engagement against the interior layer when the spherical member is bounced by a user against a surface whereby at least one peeled clove is retrievable by a user when the first and second hemispherical sections are subsequently separated.

A method of peeling garlic comprising the steps of:

• placing a bulb of garlic into a hollow center of an elastomeric, rubberlike, hollow spherical member, said hollow center bounded by an interior layer having a high coefficient of friction;
• and
• forcing impact of the spherical member against a surface;
• wherein the bulb is loosened by said impact and each of a plurality of cloves comprising the bulb is separable thereby, whereby a tunic and sheath of each of the plurality of cloves is forcible from each of the plurality of cloves by tractive contact against the interior layer.
