This is the best way to skin the tuber

How can the garlic peel be loosened?

There are many tips and tricks for peeling garlic cloves. Which one is suitable for you and when, also depends on the amount required and in which form the garlic is processed further.

• Crush the garlic cloves
• Peel the garlic with a knife
• Get rid of the bowl by shaking it in the glass
• Soak the garlic in water

Crush the garlic cloves

If the garlic is only used as a flavoring agent and you do not want large pieces of garlic in the food, the peel can be removed from the tuber simply by crushing it.

1. Loosen individual toes from the tuber in the required amount.
2. Take a sturdy wooden board and spread your toes on it with a little space between them.
3. Choose a heavy kitchen item that you can crush your toes with. A large knife, spatula or saucepan, for example, are well suited.
4. Place the item on top of the garlic cloves and apply moderate pressure until they give slightly and their peel bursts.
5. Cut off the ends and then remove the remains of the peel by hand.

Peel the garlic with a knife

A few cloves of garlic are often sufficient for many recipes. In this case, simply removing the peel with a small, sharp knife is not a major challenge.

• Detach the toes from the tuber
• cut off the lower end
• pull off the shell at the same time
• possibly. Remove any remaining peel remnants

Get rid of the bowl by shaking it in the glass

A clean screw-top jar is an excellent tool for removing many cloves of garlic from the stiff coating at the same time.

1. Put several cloves of garlic or a whole bulb in the jar and close it tightly with a hard lid.
2. Shake the glass vigorously for about 30 seconds. The shaking movements should be vertical, i.e. between the bottom of the glass and the lid.
3. Screw the glass back on and dispose of the detached bowls. Bring out the peel-free toes as well.
4. Repeat the shaking process if necessary.
5. Small pieces of peel that are still attached to the garlic cloves can be easily removed by hand or with a knife at the end.

Soak the garlic in water

If the use of garlic is not a spontaneous action, its peel can be easily removed with a trick and a little waiting time.

• Peel the toes off the tuber
• put in a bowl
• cover with room temperature water
• Let stand for 2-3 hours

Then the soaked garlic peel should be easy to remove by hand.

Keep peeled garlic as a reserve

Peeled garlic that is not consumed immediately does not have to go to waste. You can put the remaining toes in a clean jar and cover with oil. Well sealed and stored in a cool place, they can remain ready for use for many days.

In this way, you can also build up a targeted supply of garlic so that you don't have to peel a few cloves of garlic over and over again.
