Brilio.net - Garlic is a basic cooking spice that is absolutely available in the kitchen because of its distinctive and strong aroma. In addition to adding aroma, garlic also provides a savory taste to dishes. The existence of this kitchen spice is very important to create delicious dishes.
The garlic peeling process requires two stages, namely peeling the hard outer skin and the thin skin. Peeling the outer skin tends to be easier because of its rough and stiff texture. However, the smooth and thin skin often makes the peeling process longer because it is easily torn when peeled.
Peeling a small amount of garlic may not be too much trouble. The problem will arise when you have to peel large amounts of garlic up to kilos for cooking large portions. This peeling process one by one certainly takes a lot of time and energy.
Currently, there is a special onion peeler tool available to make the process of peeling garlic easier. Unfortunately, this large onion peeler is sold at a high price of up to millions of rupiah. Fortunately, there is an alternative method to peel large amounts of garlic without using a special tool as shared by the YouTube channel Lia.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Lia channel on Tuesday (12/24), the first thing to do is simply put the garlic in a large bucket. Make sure the garlic has been separated from the bulb. Then move it into a large and wide bucket.

After that, fill the bucket with water until it is completely full. Once done, soak the garlic for 1-2 hours. This soaking will make the skin of the garlic soft and easy to peel later.

Once soaked, immediately rub the garlic using both palms. When rubbing the garlic, do so while it is still submerged. That way, the garlic skin will fall off into the water when rubbed. Do this process until all the garlic is peeled from its skin perfectly.

Next, let it sit for a moment until the garlic floats and the skin is submerged in water. When it is like that, strain and sort the garlic. Separate the garlic that has and has not been peeled.
If there are still some that have not been peeled, then peel them manually. But because the skin is already soft, you can peel it easily using your hands. Just pull the skin of the onion, then you will get clean garlic.
