That's what I was thinking as well.

That bowl trick is so cool. All the years Ive been peeling it by hand. I too love garlic. Oh my, sketti sauce or chili gets loaded with garlic. We used to buy Carpathian from a garlic farm. It was considerably hotter than local grown elephant ear.

I find the shaking method works much better in a large tupperware type plastic container than in a steel container. The plastic seems to rub the husk off better.

I put about three bunches of garlic 20ish cloves into two bowls that were about 12” in diameter, and maybe 6” deep.
I would shake for 20-30 seconds, wet my hands (keeps the skins from sticking) and pick the cloves. Repeat when there were no more peeled.
I bought three pounds this morning to add to what I had last night. Took me about 30 minutes to shake the skins off of three pounds.

Not at the Costco in Prescott AZ, or any other store I can find. That’s why I’m shaking it like a Polaroid in a metal bowl. lol

Good to all of this tips.
I hate peeling garlic.
