BEST WAY TO PEEL A HEAD OF GARLIC! Trust me, both soup bowls are the same size, and I used them to peel a head of garlic as shown by Martha Stewart in this video, posted on wimp.com http://www.wimp.com/bestgarlic/ Update: I have since tried this on garlic that had been refrigerated and it doesn't work. The garlic head must be dry.

On second thought, it could have been onion, as well - toss-up.
