I'm Janay Clayborne and I'm gonna show
you some quick ways to peel your garlic.
5
00:00:17.810 --> 00:00:20.450
First thing you wanna do is start by
6
00:00:20.450 --> 00:00:23.105
breaking those cloves
off of that garlic bulb.
7
00:00:23.105 --> 00:00:28.313
[SOUND] Take your knife, simply
smash it with the heel of your hand.
8
00:00:28.313 --> 00:00:29.693
The skin comes right off.
9
00:00:29.693 --> 00:00:32.160
There you go.
10
00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:34.700
If you wanna peel more
than one clove at a time,
11
00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:38.390
just put them all into your mixing bowl.
12
00:00:38.390 --> 00:00:40.310
Cover them with another mixing bowl.
13
00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.265
And shake it vigorously and
the skins are gonna pop right off.
14
00:00:44.265 --> 00:00:48.711
[SOUND] Now just separate
15
00:00:48.711 --> 00:00:53.605
the cloves from the skin.
16
00:00:53.605 --> 00:00:58.545
If you don't have two metal mixing bowls,
you can do the same thing in a Mason jar.
17
00:00:58.545 --> 00:01:02.525
[SOUND] Put your lid back on.
18
00:01:02.525 --> 00:01:04.385
[SOUND] And shake it up.
19
00:01:04.385 --> 00:01:10.105
[SOUND] And
you can just take the skins out.
20
00:01:10.105 --> 00:01:12.125
Separate them from the garlic.
21
00:01:12.125 --> 00:01:14.725
This one popped right out.

00:01:14.725 --> 00:01:21.789
