Fast cooking

Sometimes, you need a lot of garlic cloves for a particular dish. Peeling the cloves one by one takes time. Fortunately, there’s a fast way to do it, according to Nadiya in the recently released Netflix series, Nadiya’s Time to Eat. In this series, the TV chef gives tips on how to put the tastiest recipes on the table in as little time as possible. She also shares useful tricks, such as peeling garlic quickly.

Boiling hot water

For Nadiya’s trick, all you need is a bowl and hot water. Put the garlic cloves in the bowl and pour the hot water over them. Leave it for a minute and then you can easily peel the garlic. Just be careful when fishing the garlic out of the hot water.

Knife

Chefs also have another trick to easily peel garlic. They put the garlic clove on a cutting board, and then, using the wide side of a knife, they press down and crush the clove of garlic. You’ll usually hear a cracking sound, and then you can also easily peel the garlic.
