Garlic peeling hack? @IanKyo

Ingredients

• 1 head Garlic Head (fresh, firm, no sprouting)
• 1 cup Water (warm (about 40‑45°C / 105‑115°F))

Instructions

1. Separate the Cloves

   Break apart the garlic head, discard the papery outer layers, and pull off the individual cloves.

   Time: PT2M

2. Crack the Back of Each Clove

   Using the flat side of the chef's knife, gently press on each clove to crack the skin without crushing the flesh.

   Time: PT1M

3. Soak in Warm Water

   Place all cracked cloves into the bowl or jar and pour warm water over them, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let sit for 10 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 40-45°C

4. Shake Method (Optional)

   While the cloves soak, close the container with a lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

   Time: PT1M

5. Smash Method (Preferred)

   After soaking, remove the lid and gently press each clove with the flat side of the knife to “smash” it; the skin should pop off easily.

   Time: PT1M

6. Final Peel and Rinse

   Pull off any remaining skins, rinse the peeled cloves under cold water, and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

   Time: PT2M
