Just saw a Youtube video on peeling garlic. Worked like a charm. Anyone else try it?

Was it the one with Martha Stewart?

Since you didn't say WHICH video, how would we know if we did.

Was it the one with the bowl? Personally, I buy a big tub of peeled garlic cloves because it's worth it to me.

Yup,Martha Stewart. Imagine just shaking was all it took.

I don't know what this method is, but -

I've always done the basic 'smash and peel'. That works fine. I use a wide bladed knife and find a good level of pressure (enough to open it up but not enough to obliterate it) to hit it with the heel of my hand. Takes like two seconds.

I also cut the ends off (after) and remove that core thing in the middle that can contribute to making the garlic bitter. But once you smash it a bit, it's easy to do those things.

Smash and peel is the way to go!

Another vote for this method!

I must admit, I buy the peeled garlic cloves from BJs.
