verybody knows the trick of smashing a garlic clove with the back of a knife to quickly remove the skin, but here is an even better way to peel garlic in just 20 seconds. Place a garlic pod in the microwave, and heat on HIGH for 20 seconds (might take more or less depending on the wattage of your microwave). When you remove it, be careful as it might be a little hot, but you will be surprised to see that the garlic pods will just slip out of their skin!
