Peeling garlic quickly with a blender can help avoid getting the smell on your hands.
Remove the garlic and you can easily peel off the outer skin with your hands.
Peel garlic quickly with a microwave
You can leave the garlic bulbs intact or separate them into cloves and place them on a plate. Put the garlic plate in the microwave, set the microwave to medium and press start for about 15-30 seconds.
Take out the garlic and let it cool, then you can easily peel it off, very quickly.
Use friction to peel garlic quickly
Take a piece of rubber that is wide enough to wrap the garlic cloves and press it against the countertop and roll it back and forth. The friction with the rubber will quickly peel off the garlic skins.
Crush garlic with a knife before peeling
Instead of peeling the garlic first and then crushing and mincing it, try crushing the garlic with a knife and then peeling it, it will definitely save you a lot of time. However, before crushing, you should cut off the ends of the cloves; note to use a wide-bladed knife. Instead of crushing, you can press down on the knife with force with your hand until the skin peels off.

Peel garlic quickly by shaking
Separate the garlic cloves and put them in a bowl, cover the bowl with a lid or another plate, hold it tightly with your hand and shake it vigorously about 10-15 times. Open the bowl and remove all the peeled skins.
Use hot pan. Heat a pan on the stove, add the separated garlic cloves, reduce the heat and stir them with your hand for a few minutes, then turn off the stove. Let the garlic cool, rub it lightly with your hand and the skin will peel off.
Use a garlic crusher tool
Another easy and quick way to peel garlic is to use a garlic crusher tool that is available in many supermarkets. This tool crushes and squeezes the garlic cloves through the small holes in the grid, pushing them out and keeping the garlic skins inside.
