How to Peel and Mince Garlic Fast

by Kelley Wilson Filed Under: Cooking Tips, Home Tips 3 Comments

Many recipes call for minced garlic and trying to it with a knife can be tricky. You get all kinds of chunks and I don't really like smearing it all over my cutting board. I also don't like having my hands smell like garlic for hours after I handle it. I'm going to share my secret to peel and mince garlic easily and cleanly!  How to Peel and Mince Garlic without getting it all over your hands - I love this tip from Miss Information!

I love sharing some of my favorite things that I think you'll love. Full Disclosure I earn a few cents if you purchase through a link on this page that keeps me in enough coffee to run this page 24 hours a day!

I'm pretty much a kitchen gadget freak! I love a good kitchen tool and these are two I use all the time. The one that looks like a cannoli is amazing in its simplicity and it works like a charm. It's a Garlic Peeler. No more digging your fingernails into the garlic trying to get the peel off or smashing with a knife all over your counter top. Some recipes call for whole garlic cloves and this is the answer to peeling them and having them still look nice!

How to Peel Garlic

Step 1: Put your garlic clove into the peelerI love this garlic peeler it's a breeze to use and no smelly hands

Step 2: Using medium to firm pressure, press on the garlic clove and roll the peeler back and forth with the palm of your handI love this garlic peeler it's a breeze to use and no smelly hands

Step 3: Tilt the peeler and out comes your clean garlic cloveHow to peel and mince garlic the easy way and not get it on your hands

How to Mince Garlic

First we need to discuss the difference between minced and diced. Diced is small chunks of Garlic that you can cut with a knife. Minced is teeny tiny and really it's impossible to get a good mince on a tiny head of garlic unless you have mad knife skills. For this I use a garlic press. It's really easy and quick. Just put the garlic bulb in the press and squeeze. Scrape the edge of your knife across the press to remove any bits that don't fall off.  One of my favorite kitchen tools, mince garlic with less mess and no smelly fingers! Last night I made this unbelievable Italian Drunken Noodle from The Cozy Apron. It was aromatic and amazing! The hubby said I must make it regularly! The recipe calls for minced garlic so go on and make it and use my Quick Tip Tuesday!

    If you have to do garlic by hand and the odor is on your hands, why not try the old solution of removing onion smells from your hand by wiping your hands over a stainless steel blade knife. It takes the onion smell off my hands and perhaps it will do the same for garlic. You might do it under running water in the sink too. It's breakfast time here and I'm not in the kitchen involved with garlic so I,m not into testing at this moment. Have a safe summer!

    Hi Kelley, Thank you so much for mentioning our "Saucy Italian Drunken Noodles" recipe; however, I just wanted to make sure the name of the source is corrected to say "The Cozy Apron". Thanks, again!
