THE MIRACLE 1-MINUTE GARLIC PEELING TRICK
It works. There is another tip for this but it lacks an essential step (the trimming- and also, the lemon thing is a trick I like to use). I use a LOT of garlic being such a lover of things like curry, stir-fries, chili, and spicy foods, so you can imagine what a lifesaver this is for me. I never even thought until today to see if it was posted here @Food.com! I occasionally used to buy that stuff in the jar to use in a pinch but it really was horrible. SO glad to not have to go down that road again! Share this tip with everyone you know. No one should have to fuss with garlic!

Steps:
- Cut the bottom stem end off the head of garlic and separate the cloves.
- Cut off the pointy tip ends of each clove and toss in a stainless or other metal pie pan.
- Top with another pie pan of the same size, and hold them together. You can use stainless bowls as well but the pie pans are just easier to hold.
- Shake the garlic for a little bit, then remove the top and pick out the peeled cloves. Occasionally there might be a stubborn one that needs a little more shaking, especially if it has a bruise so give it a look and see if it needs tossing in the garbage. Otherwise it just might like to shake itself longer.
- Store the garlic in the refrigerator in a little container; you can immerse it in oil (kept in refrigerator) if you like but if you cook every day or so going through this garlic should not be a problem.
- As for the lemon, rub it on your fingers and wash your hands with soap to get rid of that sticky stinky "you've been messin' with garlic" smell.
QUICK CHICK TRICK
I came across this recipe in an old Telephone Pioneers of America (Tennessee) cookbook and it looked easy and yummy. It would definitely be a quick recipe for moms with little time! *Try adding some mushrooms when heating the sour cream/soup mixture.

JULIA CHILD'S EASY PEEL GARLIC
I didn't read this in any of Julia's books, but rather by watching her show. Some of my earliest memories are of sitting with my mother as a little girl, watching Julia on the television.

Steps:
- Remove all the cloves of garlic from the head.
- Take a smallish saucepan and heat to boiling about a cup or two of water; add the cloves of garlic and simmer for 1 minute.
- Drain the water and peel the garlic (which should be softish and should peel easily) - peeling an entire head can take about 5+ minutes, depending on how accustomed you are to doing it.
- Use in whatever recipe(s) you'd like!
- You can store the peeled garlic in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- Note: you can, of course, even do a single clove in this manner - I just like to do a bunch at a time.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm garlic bulbs with no signs of sprouting or bruising.
- Microwave the garlic bulbs for 20-30 seconds per bulb, or until the cloves are soft and easy to peel.
- Let the garlic bulbs cool for a few minutes before peeling.
- Use the flat side of a knife to smash the garlic cloves, making it easier to remove the skins.
- If you have a lot of garlic to peel, use a garlic peeler or a food processor to speed up the process.
Conclusion:
The 1-minute garlic peeling trick is a quick and easy way to peel garlic cloves. It is a great time-saver, especially when you need to peel a lot of garlic. The peeled garlic cloves can be used in a variety of dishes, such as stir-fries, pasta sauces, and salad dressings. With this simple trick, you can enjoy the flavor of garlic without the hassle of peeling it the traditional way.
