How to Quickly Peel Garlic
Put cloves (with skin) in a bowl. Then, top with another bowl and shake for 10 seconds. The skin should come right off. To peel, lay a clove on a cutting board, place the side of a chef’s knife on top and hit the top of the knife firmly with the heel of your hand (avoiding the blade). The clove should separate easily from the peel.

This way, you’ll get a taste of peanut butter with every bite.
