But cooking with garlic means plenty of time spent attempting to peel off the skin with your fingernails or losing your temper at the garlic crusher which leaves half of the good stuff behind. Thankfully, a video shows a far more simple method of getting the job done, and may prove we've been doing it wrong all of our lives. The knife is then hammered down on the two halves and the skin is picked up in one complete piece, leaving only perfectly peeled garlic cloves behind. Previously, a cook credited Nadiya Hussain, winner of The Great British Bake Off in 2015, for a similar hack to peel plenty of garlic quickly. Although it's not worth doing if you're only using a couple of cloves, it can be a real time-saver if you're using recipes which require plenty of it.
