Peeling garlic is one of the most tedious cooking tasks, but I couldn’t avoid using it in my dishes. That’s when I found the viral hack on TikTok to peel the whole garlic bulb at ease, and of course, I tried it.
TikTok is full of hacks that claim to make life easy. But not all of them produce the results you desire. While the easy method to debone rotisserie chicken will always be my favorite, there’s nothing I dislike more than the Skittle Popcorn. If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t think about it, ever. Not only is it a waste of time and money, but the TikTok hack also creates a mess that’s hard to clean up.
I tried the hack from TikTok to peel garlic
This is perhaps one of the easiest hacks to peel garlic. All you need is an empty container.
Here’s what you need to do.
- Separate the garlic cloves from the bulb.
- Put it in an empty container and cover the lid.
- Shake it vigorously for some time. I did for over a minute.
Now, the hack claims that the peel will come off easily when you continuously shake the container with separated garlic cloves.
Several content creators have tried it and they claim it’s worked for them. But, I was met with an unexpected result.
I couldn’t be more disappointed
Sadly, the hack didn’t work for me. The garlic cloves looked the same with fully intact peel when I removed them from the container.
I tried the hack with a steel container, assuming the plastic jar wasn’t cut out for the hack. But I saw no difference in the result regardless of what I used.
It wasn’t as disastrous as the Skittle Popcorn because the former requires little effort and time. But I wouldn’t count on this hack in the middle of cooking when in a rush to peel the garlic.
