Ultimate Garlic Peeling Trick -- How to Peel 20 Cloves in 20 Seconds!

Hello , this is Chef John from food wishes dot com with the ultimate garlic peeling trick .

That's right .

I've learned a lot of things from Martha Stewart , how to fold napkins , how to cover turnip into the shape of rose , how to make a shake out of a broken prison toothbrush .

But of all the things I've learned from her , this garlic peeling trick might be the most useful .

So check this out , we're gonna peel an entire head of garlic in like 20 seconds .

So what you're gonna need for this great technique is a head of garlic and , and two metal bowls .

And it's easier if they're the same size , but they really don't have to be as long as you can hold them together like this .

It's gonna work .

So step on here , we're gonna take our head of garlic .

We're gonna give it a whack on the cutting board to loosen those clothes , which we're gonna toss into one of our bowls .

And by the way , you could just toss everything in including that papery skin .

I picked a bunch out just for the sake of filming .

But when you're doing this , there's no need to do that , just toss everything in and once we have our clothes in the bowl , we are ready to commence peeling except we're not peeling .

We're shit shaking .

Simply cover the bowl of garlic with the second bowl .

Hold them together and shake .

And after 20 seconds of vigorous shaking , you're done .

That's it .

I'm not kidding .

The garlic's peeled , check it out and even the ones that don't look peeled and didn't pop right out of the skin , those are totally loose , the skin's loose .

Just grab them with your fingers , pull that skin off and remove those from the bowl .

And you will have , like I said , about 20 cloves of garlic in 20 seconds .

And I should add , this is a fantastic way to win a bet with your foodie .

Friends .

Bet them like $1000 or you're gonna peel a head of garlic and when you're done , you will average less than two seconds per clove .

Oh They will take that bet every time and they'll owe you $1000 and you'll be so excited .

You'll find my paypal and send me like 200 of it .

I'm just kidding .

Unless you're gonna do it .

So anyway , I'm always getting a ton of emails for quick and easy techniques videos .

So thank you Martha and I think I can speak for both of us when I say we think you're gonna find this garlic technique very appealing .
