Run your machine on variable speed #1. Break the cloves apart with your hands and toss them into the container while the blades are spinning. Watch and pretty soon you will see the skins pop off.  Some of the cloves will be cut in half or quarters, but most will remain whole.  After you see the skins pop off, you can dump it all out on a plate or cutting board, pick out the paper-like skins, and all you will have left is peeled garlic cloves!

That is great! The hardest part to using fresh garlic is getting the peelings

off. Whoo hoo!

If you only have a few cloves to peel, put the clove on a cutting board and whack it with a knife blade held flat. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XvV_26iNwwNamaste,em / TN>> That is great! The hardest part to using fresh garlic is getting the peelings off. Whoo hoo!> > Iris

I was wondering if it would help the peeling process if you cut the root end off

the entire bulb before toss the individual cloves into the running VM (variable

1)?

I've always cut off the tip end (opposite the root) to facilitate my being able to easily break apart the cloves. When they all break apart, the root end is in a piece all by itself. This is hard to describe in words! ;-) Once I cut the tip end off with a knife, I use my thumbs to pull down / break off the very loose skins, then I use my thumbs to pull apart the cloves (from the cut off tip). The end results is a bunch of cloves - still with "paper" on, but all separated, and a left over "root system".Wish I knew how to make a video for you guys of how I do this…
