    Easy Peel Garlic

    Stumbled across this yesterday well worth a try.

    I tried this technique last night with very little luck. I need more practice and probably a different knife. My little paring knife kept breaking the cloves and I still had to peel them. Then to top it off, the wife trashed my little garlic shaking jar I have been using.

      Craigar it also looks like she is using elephant garlic instead of normal garlic. Unless her hands are wicked small those are some huge cloves on that bulb

        ComfortablyNumb well. Clearly you know your garlic. We don't get those fancy named ones here in my local. You get regular garlic or elephant "garlic". Would love to see the different ones that you grow.

        AverageJoe I have grown it for the last ten years, a quarter to a full acre. At one point I was growing over twenty varieties, a real pain keeping them all separate. So I finally narrowed it down to my best hardneck, a Russian Red, and four softnecks, and I was trying to narrow those down to one when I moved. Currently nothing in ground.

        ComfortablyNumb I'm one of those "garlic is garlic" people. Kinda like the "whiskey is whiskey" people that I mock! So, you can mock me! Lol.

      I gotta try this. If it works.... Well than why the heck didn't anyone figure this out years ago.

        That was my first thought. Centuries of garlic peeling...

      This method works much better, faster, and won't cut yourself.

        RonB I realise you are being funny, but the thought of putting it in the KBQ for short time before the dehydrator has crossed my mind. Toss is some bell pepper and I could have smoked garlic paprika!

        Well, it obviously crossed my mind, (short trip though), so I'm not surprised it crossed your's too.

        ComfortablyNumb DiverDriver we use them at work. Pickled, sauces and some fresh items.

        HouseHomey I have fermented them with dill unfortunately they were to "woody" texture but good taste. I do the same with beet green stems. Another mans trash is my treasure.

        DiverDriver Harvest them a bit earlier, the longer on the plant the woodier they get.

      I just slice the cloves in half and the paper falls right off.

        Sorta the same almost. I will try your way & hers. I love the smell it leaves on the fingers but hate the hassle.

        FireMan I keep asking for the pre peeled stuff at work and get hollered at. Every now and the our order is short and they substitute a large bag of the pre peeled stuff. Whohoo!!!

        I hate peeling that sticky crap.

      Try my method, HouseHomey. Slice it in half lengthwise.

        For just a few cloves, this works good;



        Only drawback is after a few cloves it loses efficiency. A quick wash and you are good to go.

          I had a similar product, except it was a flat sheet of silicone instead of a tube, just put the clove on it, fold it over once, and give it a roll with the palm of your hand. Worked pretty good.
