Reading recipes online I stumbled upon a more than useful method of how to peel a lot of garlic real quick. So simple, so useful!
Separate a head of garlic into individual cloves
Pour boiling water over the cloves, let sit for one minute, rinse with cold water
You will have those cloves peeled in no time at all - great!
good tip, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have read about shaking them in a covered bowl, but this is the best idea yet!!!
ReplyDeletethis just might be the best tip i have ever come across! thank you soooo much! i sure will be using this!
ReplyDeleteWell, this sure sounds handy! thanks, Barbara!
ReplyDeleteI will definetly give it a try. Better than smashing them all and than peeling. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat will greatly help me with all the garlic peeling: ) Another thing I do is to bash the cloves with a knife; it helps the skin to come out and realise the oils - make your hands nice and garlicky though!
ReplyDeletei have done this every day since you posted it and it works perfectly! why didn't i know this years ago? it is like blanching tomatoes! the skin slips right off. a miracle!!! thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteFresh garlic in heads is so much better than the pre-peeled ones you can buy in plastic jars in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. The problem is peeling the cloves and the skins that stick to your fingers while you are peeling them. I have tried lots of ways to peel large quantities without much success. I have not tried way but will definitely do so soon.
ReplyDeletewow I shall definitely try this and the soup /;>)
ReplyDeleteI've learned something today. Thanks a lot!
