What are the methods and techniques for peeling garlic?

Garlic is a very common food in our lives. When cooking, garlic is indispensable for almost every family. Eating garlic has many benefits, such as preventing colds, resisting cancer, preventing cardiovascular diseases and so on. Many people will encounter difficulties when handling garlic. They may accidentally hurt their fingers and their speed is very slow. In fact, as long as you master some skills, peeling garlic will become very easy.

First, peel the garlic with a garlic peeler

Many people say that peeling garlic with hands is very troublesome and sometimes even hurts the nails. In recent years, a garlic peeler has appeared on the market. Some people say it is easy to use, while others say it is not. In fact, I personally think that rubber gloves are the best to use when doing housework. Put on rubber gloves, put the garlic directly in your hands, and rub it vigorously. It is a very quick method. I guess many people have tried it.

Second, soak and peel the garlic

Break the garlic apart, cut off the hard knot at the root with a knife, put it in a bowl and pour in clean water, soak it for 5 minutes, then gently peel off the garlic skin with your hands. It is very convenient. This method is particularly suitable when a lot of garlic is needed for cooking, otherwise peeling garlic is also a big project.

Third, three words to summarize: shoot, cut, peel

Put the raw garlic on the chopping board and tap the garlic cloves with the blade of a knife. Then cut the root of the garlic with the knife. Hold both ends of the garlic with both hands and gently peel it off. This is a simple, rough and quick method.

Fourth, how to peel garlic more easily?

Find a small basin, fill it with water, peel the garlic cloves one by one and put them in, soaking for about a quarter of an hour. It is best to let the water fully soak the garlic.

If the soaked garlic skin starts to swell, it means the garlic has been soaked thoroughly and you can start peeling the garlic. Before peeling, cut off the white garlic cloves at the top with a knife.

When peeling garlic, twist the tip of the garlic clockwise or counterclockwise with your hand to make it easier to peel. When peeling the garlic, try to avoid getting your nails stuck in it, otherwise you will feel pain in the gaps between your nails.

When peeling garlic, you cannot always peel it at one end, because garlic comes in different sizes and shapes, and some need to be peeled from the top towards the other pointed end. Because the garlic skins have been soaked in water, they will stick to your hands. Prepare a rag and put it aside, then spread the garlic skins on them.

After peeling the garlic, you can rinse it in water to remove the remaining garlic skin to make it cleaner.

When peeling garlic, you need to use your fingernails to pick the garlic skin, so your fingernails should not be too short, otherwise it will be difficult to peel the garlic.
