The hack to peel garlic easily
Peeling garlic can be a messy ordeal for some folks. You might not have a knife sharp enough or not want to leave your hands, knife or cutting board smelling all garlicky. Well, @rightguyreview's hack to peel garlic, ensures that the process is quick, and without any mess.
He takes a whole bulb of garlic and a small knife with a pointed end. He then proceeds to insert the pointy blade inside one of the cloves of the garlic, right in the middle.
Once the blade is wedged deep inside the garlic clove, he twists the blade gently back and forth until he hears the clove loosening. The garlic then 'unpeels itself' from the skin due to the twisting motion, such that the TikToker can easily pop it out.
