The Life Hacks Freaks page has shared a hack on how they peel their garlic in seconds by using a rather large knife.
In the video, they begin by cutting off the top part of the garlic and separating it from the rest of the garlic.
They then turn the garlic over, so that the cloves are facing down onto a chopping board. They finally take the big knife and use it to bang the garlic from the top, which results in the garlic cloves coming loose from the garlic peel.

Most people prefer mincing their own garlic instead of buying ready-minced garlic, but the process of mincing your own garlic can be very tedious.
This hack aims at mincing a bulk of garlic and garlic cloves which can be stored and used over a couple of months.
Cheap Lazy Vegan has shared her hack on how she easily and quickly she minces her garlic using minimal effort.
In the video, she takes quite a lot of already-pealed garlic cloves and tosses them into a food processor or blender.
She then blends the cloves for a few seconds, resulting in the garlic being completely minced.
Once she is done she then puts the minced garlic in an empty plastic container and then seals it up and puts it in the fridge.
If you think that it might take you too long to finish the garlic, then you can store it in the freezer to keep it fresh for a much longer period of time.
