Spent 45 minutes peeling garlic cloves before I learned the shake trick

I stood there cursing at tiny garlic skins for almost an hour before my roommate walked in and showed me you just smack the clove with a knife and it pops right out, has anyone else discovered a basic cooking trick way later than they should have?

Tell me more about this shake trick, cause I've been doing the knife thing for years and never heard of it.

Shake trick works like a dream for rehydrating dry ground meat. Try it with some warm water in a sealed container, @elliotjenkins.
