- Separate the Cloves: Break apart the garlic bulb to separate the individual cloves.
- Place in a Jar or Bowl: Put the unpeeled garlic cloves into a jar with a lid or between two metal bowls.
- Shake Vigorously: Shake the jar or bowls vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. The shaking action will cause the garlic skins to loosen and fall off.
- Remove Peeled Garlic: Open the jar or bowls, and you’ll find the garlic cloves peeled and ready to use. Simply discard the skins.
This method is particularly useful when you need to peel a large quantity of garlic quickly, such as when preparing a recipe that calls for multiple cloves.
