Adding garlic to dishes results in their aroma becoming stronger and their taste becoming richer.
The only problem is that peeling garlic cloves takes up a lot of housewives’ precious time.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, shared a method that will help simplify this task.
To use this life hack, all you need is a microwave oven.
It is expected that the heat will make peeling garlic much easier.
So, what should you do: first of all, let us remind you that you should not put a whole head of garlic in the microwave – the cloves must first be separated.
Only in this form is garlic allowed to be placed in the microwave oven.
After you close the appliance door, select the maximum power and heat the vegetable for about 20 seconds.
Now you need to wait until the garlic cools down a little, and then easily separate the skin from it.
Please note: this trick, although it works, has its nuances.
Firstly, as a result of garlic being in the microwave, it may start to smell unpleasant. Secondly, and what is much more serious, after such a procedure the consistency of the vegetable will change slightly.
Therefore, if you are going to use garlic for baking or frying, everything is fine, you can use this culinary trick. But in sauces or salads it is better to put fresh, not overheated product.
