Testing the, "how to peel a head of garlic in 10 seconds" method

I think she was just showing her muscles. It never worked for me.

Sliced off the bottom roots of a full bulb, so thinly getting the hard bottoms of ever clove. CAREFULLY WITH A VERY SHARP KNIFE THEY WILL ALL RELEASE, AND (damn cap lock button!) much faster - The bowl is great to shake it, so the tickler for hulling full cloves is much easier, then pressing them with the side of a chef knife! - The whole bottom needs to be cut first! - NOTE - You Must Have Some Knife Skills! - You have a better chance of getting stitches with a dull knife! - Easy on the Wine!

@HonestJohn60 thank you for your comment. We'll try cutting the bottom off next time.

@handsongourmet Garlic Butter - 4-5 whole heads of garlic bulbs - peel cloves, one stick of soft butter, put all in a mini chopper, pour a Good Extra Virgin olive oil into the top of a chopper with the drip holes - add enough oil (around 1/3 cup) so when refrigerated, it will spread like the soft butter in the tubs. Use small tubs to store it in. Nice to have a ready spreadable Garlic Butter anytime you want to spread, or add a tablespoon or 2 to a recipe! - This Freezes so well! - Make a bunch!

Shake it harder and it would work "all the way".

@dynomaxtransam thank you!  We realized this upon further testing. Great method of peeling garlic.

i get the distinct impression it's cold in that kitchen....

Amazing...I wish that I knew about this 20 years ago, when first starting my culinary career.

It works with smaller bowls as well. The trick is high amplitude/speed and dry garlic.

[sparkman555]

May I suggest. When you are shaking it you want to try to bang the garlic at high speed from the bottom of one pot off the bottom of the other pot.

One is trying to create the affect similar to:

Just like you would smack a ping pong ball.

i know, it's amazing!! Glad you watched it.

[jillannmckeever]

Thank you for testing this method out. I just watched the Saveur video and wanted to go give it a test myself. Now, I'm convinced!

It actually works with smaller bowls too. Easier to shake the dickens out of.
