Can a Garlic Press Be Used to Squeeze Unpeeled Roasted Garlic Cloves?

Here's one I've not come across in all my years - but it's a good question...can the Garlic Press be used to squeeze all the goodness out of unpeeled roasted garlic cloves?

No, the roasted garlic will be a gooey mess. It's easy to simply lightly squeeze the roasted clove out of the peel.

Unfortunately, the Garlic Press is not designed to squeeze the goodness out of unpeeled roasted garlic cloves. The press is designed to crush and mince garlic cloves that have already been peeled. Trying to use it on unpeeled roasted garlic cloves may result in damage to the press or difficulty in getting the cloves through the holes. It's best to peel the garlic cloves before using the press to ensure proper function and to avoid any potential mess or frustration.
