Even if a dish requires 2-3 cloves, peel the entire head of garlic: why wise housewives do this

We bet that no housewife will say that peeling garlic gives her pleasure.

The slices stick to your hands, the dry skins fly off the cloves and scatter all over the kitchen, so people usually try to finish this task as quickly as possible.

However, there is a way that will help you avoid all these troubles.

To do this, you will need to use scissors to cut off the ends of the garlic and soak the head in hot water for 30-40 minutes.

After the time has passed, the garlic needs to be removed from the improvised “bath” and you can begin peeling it.

The pesky peel will easily fall off the garlic cloves and go straight into the trash can.

Therefore, instead of slaving away every other day over peeling a couple of cloves, prepare a whole head at once.

The peeled cloves should be placed in a small glass jar, such as a baby food jar, and stored in the refrigerator.
