monday morning tip: quickly peeling garlic

This is probably nothing new to those of you who watch Food Network, but the other day a dinner guest questioned what I was doing…

when she saw me lay the flat side of my knife blade on the garlic,

and POUND it.

Why, I am peeling it, of course.

You could buy a garlic peeler, or use Martha Stewart’s trick and then have two extra bowls to clean…but if you’re already going to dirty a knife, isn’t this just easier? And it’s oh-so-fun to smash things!

  1. I’m a chef …. and since I found this little tool – the best since slice bread … in my book.
    Easy and clean .. not messy at all. Have a look. http://www.laskonka.sk/100-341-home/cistic-cesnaku-zak.jpg

    • Oh yes, I’ve seen those, and they’re cheap, too!! But…I’m still too stingy to buy when I already have my knife :)

      • Two ways to everything … I like the clean and easy one – given about 20 away to friends … and they love it – and you can peel up to 5 gloves in one time. As you say .. they are cheap.

        Thanks for coming back to me.

    Thanks, Jing. What an a-peeling idea!
