This Is How You Peel An Entire Head Of Garlic In Just A Few Seconds

Garlic is a decidedly delicious pain.

Yes, you can use a knife and smash your cloves into oblivion , scattering little peel pieces over the floor. You can put the cloves in hot water , but you have to wait half an hour for the skins to soften. If you have to peel a dozen heads, you can shake them into submission between two bowls, but that takes more coordination than many chefs have.

So what's the home chef to do? A new video from Diply has a simple hack for the garlic-loving, but mess-averse, cook. All you have to do is put an entire head of garlic into a Mason jar, seal the lid and shake to your heart's content. After 20 seconds, pour out the contents and your cloves should slip out skin-free.

Simple as that.
