How to Quickly and Easily Peel A LOT of Garlic

Garlic is really good for anything that ails ya plus it adds so much flava to almost any dish.  I try to use it generously.  But peeling those pesky pods can take forever.

Try this.  Break apart a garlic bulb and toss the cloves into a metal bowl.

Put a smaller bowl on top.  Shake like mad for about ten seconds.  Pretend you're playing percussion in a rock band.

 Voila.  The papery stuff comes off like magic.

Below you can see most of the garlic cloves peeled themselves.  The pile of 4 cloves in the bottom of the picture was easy enough to remove.
