Ingredients
- 1 unit Garlic bulb
Directions
Step 1
Take a full garlic bulb and separate the individual cloves. There is no need to trim or peel them at this stage.
Step 2
Place the cloves in a metal or silicone mixing bowl.
Step 3
Invert another mixing bowl of the same size or slightly larger over the first bowl to create a sealed dome.
Step 4
Firmly hold the two bowls together and shake them vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. Use your arm strength to ensure the cloves are jostled around inside.
Step 5
Stop and check the cloves. The shaking should have loosened or completely removed the skins. If necessary, repeat the process for another 10-15 seconds.
Step 6
Once the skins are loosened, separate the peeled cloves from the excess skin. Discard the skins.
Step 7
Your garlic cloves are now peeled and ready to use in your cooking!
