If you are like me, I find peeling garlic cloves tedious. Especially, if I have many to do at one time. Here’s an easy way to hasten that task: place the amount of cloves you need in a bowl, cover with a lid (a Tupperware container works great), and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds. Now, add warm water to cover and submerge. Let this sit for about 5 minutes or less. When you go back to them, almost every clove will be clean and ready to use in your favorite recipe.
