How to peel garlic in a minute without a knife: an impressive life hack
Garlic can be peeled easily and quickly if you know a few life hacks

Garlic is a versatile ingredient used in many dishes. However, peeling it can be a challenge. The skin of garlic can be hard and sticky, and the process can be quite tedious.

Fortunately, there are several ways that can make peeling garlic easier. They were shared by the Daily meal portal. Here are two simple and effective methods:

Blanching method

This method is similar to blanching other vegetables. To do this, you need:

  1. Place the garlic cloves in a bowl of warm water.
  2. Add a few cloves.
  3. Leave the garlic in the water for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Take the garlic out of the water and let it drain.

The garlic peel will then come off easily.

The microwave method

This method is even easier, but it may not be suitable for all types of garlic. To do this, you need:

  1. Place the garlic cloves in a bowl.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  3. Place the bowl in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  4. Remove the bowl from the microwave and let the garlic cool.

After that, the garlic peel will come off easily.

Both of these methods help preserve the flavor and aroma of garlic. They are also environmentally friendly because they do not require the use of chemicals.
