Garlic is an ingredient in many dishes. We add garlic to the first and second courses, to soups, borscht, marinades, salads and appetizers. We rub croutons with it for a better flavor, preserve vegetables with it, marinate meat. Therefore, every housewife almost every day faces the problem of how to properly peel garlic, and most importantly, how to do it easily and quickly.

Sometimes a clove or two, and sometimes a head or two. Peeling garlic is not such a difficult task. In most cases, we use a knife when we clean it. But sometimes, for storage for the winter, for example, we need to peel a large amount of garlic. In such cases, just use our interesting tips.

Each method will help you in a particular situation. One method will help when the garlic is not too dry and the husk is hard to lag behind the garlic clove.

Choose each time the method that suits you in a particular situation.
