AuroraAlchemist+FollowBest ways to Mince GarlicSeparate the garlic cloves from the bulb by pressing down with your palm. Pull off the papery skin, but make sure you don’t lose any small cloves hiding inside. Peel each clove. You can either cut off the stem end and squeeze the clove out, or press it gently with the side of your knife until the skin loosens. Just don’t smash it too much. Slice the clove lengthwise as thin as you can, then turn it and slice crosswise. Use a rocking motion with your knife for better control and safety. If you want a finer mince, keep running your knife over the pile until you’re happy with the size. The more you mince, the more flavor you’ll get in your dish. #GarlicTips #KitchenSkills #CookingBasics #Food #Cooking10Share
Alison+FollowGarlic Smell on Your Hands? Try These Easy Fixes!Garlic is amazing in food, but that lingering smell on your hands? Not so much. Here’s what actually works: Mix salt and baking soda with a little water, scrub your hands, and rinse. Super effective! Squeeze lemon juice and sprinkle salt, then rub your hands together. Just avoid if you have cuts. Grab a stainless steel spoon, run it under cold water, and rub your hands with it for a minute. Coffee grounds or instant coffee can scrub away the smell—just rinse well after. Splash white vinegar on your hands, rub, and rinse. The vinegar smell fades fast. I’ve tried all of these and honestly, the stainless steel trick is my go-to. What works best for you? #KitchenHacks #GarlicTips #CookingSmarter #Food #Cooking20Share
CobaltCascade+FollowGarlic Oil Turned Cloudy?! Don't worry!Garlic oil can sometimes look cloudy or a bit murky after it cools down, especially if you just made it at home. That’s usually just tiny garlic particles or moisture mixing with the oil—pretty normal if you didn’t strain it super well. The main thing to watch out for is food safety: garlic in oil can be risky if left at room temp, since it can grow dangerous bacteria. Always store it in the fridge and use it up within a week to be safe. #FoodKnowledge #GarlicTips #KitchenSafety #Food20Share
