Garlic is a pivotal ingredient in many savory dishes across various cuisines. Its unique flavor enhances taste profiles, yet peeling and chopping it can be challenging.

We have gathered three effective garlic hacks that are tested and proven to simplify your cooking experience.

Peeling Garlic

Peeling garlic appears straightforward until you end up with tiny bits of casing on your fingertips. Scraping off the sticky film that remains can be frustrating.

To make peeling easy and keep your hands free of garlic odor, try this method. Start by placing a whole head of garlic, skin intact, into a sealed jar. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously.

Shake it hard for about 30 seconds. This shaking should cause the skins to loosen and separate cloves. Once you open the jar, the skins should peel away easily, or the garlic may already be free.

Cutting Garlic

Cutting garlic can also be a challenge. The bulbs are often small and slippery, which complicates getting a good grip.

French chef Carl shared an "unreal" method for slicing on TikTok. Instead of using the sharp edge of the knife, he used the back, resulting in perfectly minced garlic. His video has garnered over seven million views.

One viewer remarked, "I was so amazed by this lol I have been doing it wrong. The things I learn from TikTok that just makes sense. Thank you, sir."

Removing Garlic Scent

Using garlic often leaves a lingering scent on your hands long after cooking. Fortunately, Martha Stewart revealed a hack on her TikTok to eliminate this aroma instantly.

"Run your water warm, and use anything made of stainless steel," Stewart suggested. Rub your fingers on the metal under running water, and the smell will vanish.

This works due to a scientific reaction between garlic’s sulfur compounds and the chromium in stainless steel. However, be cautious with knives to avoid cuts; they can be sharp.

Next time you're in the kitchen, experiment with these handy garlic hacks for a smoother cooking experience.
