I've been doing this for a couple of years now, works great.

Want to get the stink of garlic off your fingers? Wet and wipe then along your stainless steel sink or any stainless steel. No soap needed!

This is true, however, I don't because it usually comes with packaging that isn't biodegradable (styro, plastic film, usually both) and that's a big deal to me. The other thing is you usually don't want to peel garlic until you're just about to use it; the compound that gives garlic its kick (allicin) tends to break down quickly once exposed to oxygen.

Agreed. Also garlic and ginger should be purchased as organically grown if possible as the taste is much better.
