Look at the ingredient's list of things I cook and right after bacon, which is in first place, you will find garlic.
That's NBD, except peeling a clove of garlic is totally a PITA.
The other night was watching one of these cooking shows when suddenly the chef offered a tip to peel garlic cloves.
Place the cloves in a cup of water and then nuke the cup of water for a few seconds.
Remove the cloves from the water and peel.
Decided to try it. It works. The only thing to determine was how long to nuke the cloves.
90 seconds seems to be about right; however, the cloves are softened a little.Don't know if this is a problem or not, but cloves harden as they cool.
The process works for me, YMMV.
