We watched the Saveur channel video on how to peel a head of garlic in 10 seconds and didn't believe our eyes so we tried it. We consider it a success and will definitely use this method.

  • 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.

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

  • @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!

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

  • 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.
