The Efficient Restaurant Method For Peeling Garlic
NEWS
By CHLOE O'DONNELL
Chef Nicholas Poulmentis of Akotiri in Queens, New York, suggests soaking garlic cloves in water overnight to easily peel them the next morning without needing a knife.
It works best when you have some advanced notice since it will take several hours for the water to permeate the peels so they are loose enough to fall right off of the cloves.
Although it won't be as simple to peel, if you're in a hurry, even a half hour in warm water can make a bit of difference
in peeling the garlic.
