Ok, today I was peeling shallots -- a lot of them -- and I started to get really fed-up. I googled a shortcut and apparently you can dunk them in a covered pot of boiling water for 3 minutes and they become a lot easier to peel. Wish I'd thought of that an 45 minutes ago. I was almost finished so I didn't bother, but it'll be nice to know for next time.
