http://www.durgan.org/URL/?LUJRR 17 January 2015 Removing garlic skins Garlic skins are removed by placing in a Folger coffee container and shaken for 30 seconds. This container is ideal since it has two protrusions into the cylinder which are perfect for bumping the clove and removing the skins. Posted Imagehttp://www.durgan.org/URL/?HBRXV |

The technique is not new. What is new is the unique Folgers container. It actually works. A smooth pot is not very effective. |

I put them in a colander and dip them in a pot of boiling water, the skins slide off and the cloves are not at all cooked. Learned this from my brother in law who makes garlic pickles that are to die for. He still hasn't sent me the recipe. |

I whack lightly with a cleaver to loosen the skin and then harder to pulverize before mincing. |

That's OK for 2 or 3 when cooking but when you need to do 12 quarts' worth it is a bit labour intensive laugh123 |

Also, you cannot get lovely thin slices which are tasty AND decorative. I use the whack it method when the garlic is expected to disappear like in a stew or a ragu, but for an Aglia e Olio I like lightly goldened slices on top. Edited by Trotsky, Jan 18 2015, 08:54 AM.

For individual cloves .. simply place the clove between your thumb an forefinger and twist it around... skin comes off nicely and quickly. |

I once saw on Martha Stewart's show a device for removing garlic skins. It looked like an inner bicycle tube affair. You put the cloves in and just roll it back and forth |
