The easiest way to peel garlic without touching it

There is an easier way to peel garlic!

Garlic is an important ingredient in many meals. But peeling garlic can be a smelly task – you end up with garlic all over your hands and it’s very fiddly. Luckily, this amazing life hack will change how you peel garlic from now on. All you need is a jar. Simply take the jar and put a piece of garlic in. Start to shake the jar and see the outside skin fall off. The cloves inside will be separated but you aren’t finished yet.Keep shaking and before your eyes, the skins on the garlic cloves will fall off as well and you’ll be left with nicely peeled little pieces, ready to cook! If you don’t have a jar, you can also shake it in any small container. The idea is to crack the skin by bouncing it off something solid so you can even cover a bowl with a side plate and shake.

It’s that easy!
