Honey, you don't have to smash the garlic like that. Just put your knife flat on its side on top of ur garlic (on its side and after u cut the top) and give it a good smack. No flying garlic skin and mess.
@@beberexx5352I think she meant that just directly put the knife flat on top of the garlic and give it a good smack instead of like having a gap between the knife and garlic while smashing it

You don't need to give someone advice they didn't ask for. Less when you open with a condescending "Honey". To be honest i would still listen to what *my* father that is a *chef* said instead that what a stranger on the internet said.
You can just crush the clove of garlic with the side of your knife; the skin peels right off, you don't get covered in garlic smell and it actuallymakes the garlic tastier because it releases the flavor. I use garlic daily so I've gotten pretty darn good at peeling the cloves 😂

Pour cooled bronw over.
The garlic smash is less messy if you place the knife flat on it like you did and then use the heal of your hand to tap. But just beating the garlic looks more fun
You can try Turkish style pickles. This pickles are like kimchi for us and we don’t use honey or sugar. So we make them sour. Some people says lt is too salty but I AM OBSESSED WITH THEM! You should definitely try it 🩷
Love pickles too ❤ Ive been meaning to diy a batch sometime. I havent ever tried homemade but this sounds good. I also havent had ocra in a long time either. First time i didnt like something about it, but it was like a decade ago. I think my palette has evolved since, and im ready for another try ❤
This summer I had 8 cucumber plants going in the yard. I got 2 - 1 gallon pickle jars and another half gallon pickle crock. I also grew peppers and dill. SO. MANY. PICKLES!!!!
Ive never tried okra, but those pickles look bomb af! If you started selling them, I think you'd have a very willing market already, myself included! My whole household loves pickles, from kimchi and japanese pickles through to gherkins and pickled onions!
You can also take the garlic cloves, chop the tops, and shake them in between two bowls. You can do large amounts and it only takes a few seconds. Theres a scene from Anne with an E where they show the technique
One method of peeling garlic that has worked for me, is to break up the cloves, trim off ends, place them in a bowl, and pour boiling water over them. Let them sit in the boiling water for a couple of minutes, then drain off the water. When cool enough to handle, then easily peel off the skins. The skins don’t even stick to your fingers. Another way of peeling garlic that worked fairly well is to put the cloves* in a glass jar and with the lid on shake the jar really hard. (*Cut off the ends first.)
I have another tip on garlic!!!! Just put the segments all in a bowl, pour boiling water over them until covered, leave for five minutes, then peel. The peels come right off
Throw a tea towel over the garlic cloves and hit it with the flat side of a knife, it doesn’t go flying that way and it’s super quick, the skin will basically fall off and you don’t need to cut it first :)
Usually i just use the flat side of the knife for pressing using my weight to the garlic. Sometimes I also used the lemon squeezer thing. I just put the garlic inside and squeeze a bit to open the garlic and take off the garlic peel easily. Just dont forget to wash your lemon squeezer afterward so it will not smell.
press down the garlic using your palm or knife (flat side). i usually do it with the flat side of the knife, i also cut the hard end before doing that and it's never failed me
I put the whole bulb under my wooden chopping board, and gently but firmly push down (don’t even trim the ends) it loosens all the bulbs and skins instantly ❤❤❤
Use two bowls with similar ratio and throw your garlic cloves in it. Then shake it like your life depends on it and the skin will peel itself. That's if you want it whole. Otherwise you can just always lay your knife flat on top and smash it to give it an easy peel.
