00:00There's a ton of ways to peel garlic,

00:01but most chefs agree these are some of the best.

00:04First up, the bowl shake.

00:05Toss your cloves between two bowls and shake like crazy.

00:08It works for a bunch at once,

00:10but it's loud, messy, and a little hit or miss.

00:13Then there's peeling by hand.

00:14Great for picture perfect slices.

00:16Not so great for sticky fingers.

00:17Boiling, microwaving, sure, they kinda work,

00:20but they mess with flavor and texture.

00:22Don't even bother, stick to the smash.

00:24My favorite way, the old smash and peel.

00:27It's fast and it works.

00:28Skin falls right off,

00:30and you're already halfway to chopped garlic.

00:31Chefs swear by it, and honestly, so will you.
