Fortunately, there are a handful of simple tricks that get a batch of garlic peeled in a couple of minutes, without working on each clove individually with a knife.</p> <h2 id="the-shake-in-a-bowl-method">The shake-in-a-bowl method</h2> <p>One of the most popular tricks is to break the head into individual cloves, put them in a metal bowl, cover with a second bowl of the same size, and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds. The friction of the cloves bouncing against the bowl and each other knocks most of the skins loose, and by the time the shaking stops, most of the garlic is already peeled. This method is especially handy when several heads need peeling at once for a sauce or a batch of pickles.</p>
