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 .
