Clove-Peeling Containers

The Quirky Shuck Prepares Garlic and Keeps Your Fingers Clean

— March 20, 2013 — Art & Design
One of the most tedious tasks of meal preparation is peeling and chopping garlic for your dish. The Quirky Shuck brings ease and efficiency to this process and even prevents that pungent smell from creeping under your fingernails and lingering for hours.

The product comprises a transparent glass container that you fill with a number of cloves and seal tight. Simply grasp the canister in your hand and shake it until the husks come loose. Next, remove the lid, pour the naked bulbs into the accompanying stainless steel bowl and orient the glass vessel so that its metal cap is facing downwards. Use the Quirky Shuck as a mortar and pestle to crush the flavorful food without dirtying your fingers.
Trend Themes
1. Efficient Meal Preparation - The Quirky Shuck offers a solution to tedious garlic peeling and chopping, presenting an opportunity for other innovative meal prep solutions.
2. Hygienic Food Preparation - The Quirky Shuck's prevention of garlic smell on fingers opens up opportunities to solve other issues that arise from contact with food during prep.
3. Multi-functional Kitchen Tools - The Quirky Shuck's combination of garlic container, peeler, and crusher showcases the potential of kitchen tools that can handle multiple tasks.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - As a kitchen tool, the Quirky Shuck highlights opportunities for new products that are versatile and able to take on multiple kitchen tasks.
2. Food and Beverage - The hygienic aspect of the Quirky Shuck's design can translate well into other areas of the food and beverage industry, like food packaging or handling equipment in restaurants and cafes.
3. Home Goods - The Quirky Shuck brings innovation to the home goods industry, with a design that can be adapted to other areas of home life beyond cooking.
