Peel a whole head of garlic in 10 seconds
A jar with a lid and a bit of muscle — every clove comes out naked.
1
Break the head into cloves by pressing down on it with your palm.
2
Put the cloves in a jar with a lid, or between two identical metal bowls.
3
Shake hard for 15–20 seconds. The skins fall away — just pick out the clean cloves.
4
Young garlic with damp, tight skins won't peel this way — crush it with the flat of a knife instead.
