    Kitchen trick:

    • Take the whole garlic head, and crumble it by hand over a sealable container to separate the cloves into.
    • Put the lid on tightly, then shake the everloving shit out of it.
    • Open the container, and voila! The meat is separated from the paper.
    • Enjoy!

      Or just lightly press on the clove with the flat of a knife until it crushes slightly. Skin will come off easily after that.

        While that works on a per clove basis, sometimes you need an entire head of garlic, and the shake method is the best and fastest.

          I guess sometimes does technically cover everytime so you are technically correct

      If you just need pressed garlic, I was sceptical but learned that you can put them in a crusher without having to peel them first

        There’s no way this is real. I had an aunt recommend this and I felt like 60+% of the garlic was stuck in the skin in the press?? You had a different experience?

          Yeah, I do this. Sure, you have some loss but it didn’t feel like that much. Might depend on the consistency of the skin and the clove itself perhaps

            Yeah… Cook by “feeling”, that’ll go great.

            You don’t “code” by chance? 🥲

              Just used this technique again, made me think back to this wonderful exchange. Looked at it carefully now. It’s basically lossless. Just have to empty the press after a few goes.

                I’ll surely notice the missing bits of your 320 kbps “basically lossless” garlic. Are you using wireless taste buds? /s

      So I turned the knife upside down and pressed my palm on the edge until it crunched, and I confirm: my hand is definitely really easy to peel after that! 🙃

    Could someone explain the joke to me? I guess somewhere the skin of garlic is called paper? Or is there another play on words?

    The only thing I’ve found on the garlic Wikipedia is the description of its skin as papery but that’s it…

      I think the skin is the paper, the work is peeling it off… So it’s lots of paper work.

      If you ask me onions are way worse, it’s bad enough to make me cry.

        Oh I’m aware of paper but didn’t associate papery things with … Well paper itself I guess that’s the flaw. I wouldn’t describe a tree as having a wooden expression either!
