Many housewives cannot imagine peeling garlic without using a sharp knife.

However, this process can easily be modernized so that both the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe - or more precisely, so that you can peel the vegetable without getting your hands dirty.

To do this, you will need a device such as a silicone potholder, which is gradually replacing the textile options we are used to in the kitchen.

Separate the head into cloves, put a potholder on your palm and actively roll it over the cutting board, pressing the garlic cloves firmly onto its surface.

This way, the peel will easily come off the garlic, and your hands will not be saturated with a strong smell.

If you don’t have such an “accessory” nearby, use a microwave.

It is true that in this case the garlic will lose some of its flavor and pungency – but you have to sacrifice something for convenience, right?

Place the garlic cloves in a glass dish and microwave on high for 10-15 seconds. All that's left is to peel them off with your fingers - and voila, you're gorgeous!
