Peeling garlic can be a smelly task – you end up with garlic all over your hands and it’s very fiddly. But this simple tip might see you peeling your garlic without using a knife, or getting your hands dirty!

Simply take a 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!

We show you in a video below.

It’s as easy as that!
