Peeling Garlic Quickly Using a Jar or Bowl

1. Separate the Cloves: Break apart the garlic bulb to separate the individual cloves.
2. Place in a Jar or Bowl: Put the unpeeled garlic cloves into a jar with a lid or between two metal bowls.
3. 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.
4. 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.
