This video made the Internet rounds a few weeks ago, and I was dumbfounded as I watched Saveur magazine’s Executive Food Editor peel an entire head of garlic in less than 10 seconds. In other words, approximately 30 cloves of garlic shed their skin in less time than it took me to write this sentence.
Have a look yourself to see what I mean:
I’m obsessed with clever kitchen tips like this, and love learning new ways to do everyday tasks.
Do you have any of your own kitchen short-cut tips? We would love to hear them.

Dare I suggest I have a better way of peeling garlic than Saveur? :)
I cringed when I saw the chef in the video squashing the whole head of garlic and all the garlic skins flying everywhere. I don’t often need a whole head when I’m cooking either. I take one or two cloves, slice off the ends, and put them in the microwave for 10 seconds. The skin pops right off. Try it. You’ll be amazed.
Hi Andrea - Thank you so much for your comment. We love hearing from our readers and appreciate all the feedback we receive. I love your tip about the microwaving the garlic, and think it is great for those who have a microwave at home (i do not - ha!). With respect to using a whole head of garlic as per the video’s instruction, if you don’t require that many cloves you can always store the leftovers in a container in the fridge for the next time, which means you’ve actually done the work for a few recipes in one go.
