Tips for peeling garlic quickly
- Using the shaking method
Separate the garlic into small cloves and put them in a box. Cover the box and shake it vigorously vertically for about 1 minute. Open the box lid, you will see part of the garlic skin peel off by itself. The rest is also easier to peel. This method will be effective for dry garlic bulbs with skin that is not damp.
- Soak in water before peeling
Another way to make peeling garlic easier is to soak the garlic in water.
You just need to separate each clove of garlic and soak it in a bowl of clean water for about 10 minutes. When the garlic skin is soft, you just need to peel it lightly and the garlic skin will peel off.
When you need to peel garlic in large quantities, this method will be very effective, it is easy to do and you don't have to worry about the smell of garlic sticking to your hands.
- Gently hit the garlic
This method is used by many people and is very effective. You just need to put the garlic on the cutting board, use a knife to press lightly or crush it so that the skin cracks and is easier to peel off. This is the right way when you need to chop or crush garlic right away. In addition, when using this method, large garlic cloves will peel and separate the core more than small garlic cloves.
- Using a microwave
You can separate each garlic clove and put it on a plate. Place the garlic plate in the microwave. Choose a low heat and microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
Take the garlic out and use your hands to gently squeeze the two ends of the garlic clove. Then, the garlic skin will peel off quickly and easily.
How to choose fresh and delicious garlic
When choosing garlic, you should choose bulbs that are intact and complete. Do not choose garlic bulbs that are cracked or black or have dents.
Check the head of the garlic to see if the garlic is old or young. If the cut surface of the garlic head has many layers of skin and no holes, it means that the garlic was harvested early and is ripe enough, and the flavor will not be at its best. On the contrary, if the stem of the garlic has a thin layer of skin and holes, it means that the garlic is ripe and has a delicious flavor.
Choose plump, round garlic bulbs with an intact outer shell. Gently squeeze the garlic bulb with your hand to check the hardness. Do not choose soft, easily dented garlic bulbs.
Choose garlic bulbs that still have the roots because this helps the garlic retain moisture and nutrients better than when the roots are cut off.
