Girl to peel garlic all you have to do is use the flat side of a kitchen knife and press down and it will come right off. Been doing that for years.

[@diannepalabay22]

YASSSS. I was about to say that but want to make sure that I don't repeat what others already mentioned. I srsly hope she sees this so she can try it out. It's waaaaay easier

[@myrillya]

Thank you, this what I wanted to say too :DD Hopefully she read this comment.

[@umafa1645]

Haha just wanted to comment this same exact hack lol

[@caitlinmunoz8177]

Or if your doing alot of garlic cause I make red sauce for asado and stuff at the beginning of the month of you cut the bottom part then microwave the whole thing for 30 seconds and you squeeze them from. The top and it just slips out the bottom

[@anniespurr5870]

Makeup Nerds me too

[@jenniferbryant8138]

Some of these “hacks” just seem like they are more mess than anything else. To peel garlic I always just smash a clove with my chefs knife and peel the husk off it takes two seconds and is much easier than their hack. Hope this helps! Love your videos!

[@lindsays3470]

Jennifer Bryant I always do it this way and it takes no time at all.

[@kennabrienn4437]

I'm awful with a knife but I just roll a clove in my hands and it works so quickly and easily. It literally takes 4 seconds. Tasty is 95% click bait and 5% tips we already know from our grandmas😂

[@darlingdoll4476]

Lol! I was actually really surprised to find out a lot of people don't peel garlic this way. I once walked into my sister's house to find her actually peeling it, I put it on her cutting board and smushed it and she was in awe lol.

[@margra6589]

I use the shake method to peel a large amount of garlic, but I shake it more violently. A cocktail shaker works best for me.

[@lindsayvlogslife]

I do it this way too. It's way quicker than shaking it lol

[@SweetlyHome]

I roll my lemons on the counter before juicing. Pressing down firmly on them as you roll helps breakdown the membranes and makes juicing easier. And adding a splash of vinegar to the water when you cook hard boiled eggs helps the shell come off easier. Love when you test these hacks! 🍋

[@alyssabrown-carleton6173]

I wonder if it would work with a steamer

[@kassybaby1143]

You can even smell it after applying the pressure

[@Walksonthesky]

I roll the lemons and limes and microwave them before juicing it and it works better than just rolling honestly

[@vaishnavitiwari4461]

For some weird reason when she said lemons I thought her boobs and it got disturbing before I realised it was about actual lemons

[@Jelleh25]

same i always roll my lemons and limes beforehand and it gets loads of juice out

[@lolastarsandstripes]

the stale bread one, I used to work in a bakery and the trick we used to give our customers was to soak a paper bag (the one the baguettes were sold in), put the bread in it and bake it. So only the bag was wet, not the bread... avoiding soggy bread :)

[@dianafreeman419]

My mom did the bread thing with her brown sugar. She just laid a piece of bread on the top of the brown sugar and it kept it soft.

[@aniaraguz]

Duuuuuuude. Thank you for this!

[@withlovefromjody3447]

Or a slice of apple peel works too

[@nickyfransky2440]

My mom does this too! She learned it from my grandmother.

[@Marcylala]

I have also used a marshmallow

[@elizabethdavis3258]

Yes! I do this too!

[@ashburnt1167]

Instead of pouring water on the bread, I wrap my left over bread in a damp paper towel and microwave it. I also learned the bread in the cookie jar trick from my mom! But my favorite hack is to microwave leftover pizza with a mug of water. It keeps the crust from getting hard!

[@shadypalmtree2989]

I usually do the damp paper towel trick with the pizza. Since I use the microwave cover, I just place a drenched paper towel over the ventilation holes and my crust is perfectly soft

[@tristanegbert]

Shadé Palmer i use the damp paper towel with brownies hehe

[@Appaddict01]

Ash T The damp paper towel works for brown sugar, too.

[@wildflowerwingz4398]

The damp paper towel works for alot of things in the microwave.

[@lilianapotter2538]

You can also peel garlic by smashing a clove with the side of a knife or a plate and that will separate the peels so it is easy to peel

[@toricarrillo5165]

Need less whipping cream for it to work in that little jar. I remember doing this in elementary school...I think my teacher just wanted to kill half an hour and tire us out. 😂

[@kaylilane7592]

Helps of the jar is cold as well

[@netteliaemm1254]

I was thinking a quart jar is probably needed for those recipe measurements

[@marilucorona7096]

You need to add a marble or the thing that comes in the energy shake bottles

Every Winter as a kid when "Cookie Baking" time came around we'd always do that. I now do it with my children.

[@jethro4453]

Just don't do it with fresh cookies in an attempt to keep them fresh longer. It WILL backfire lol

[@Chicklet4Life13]

I’ve done the cookie bread hack forever! It’s amazing! Also a slice of read in with brown sugar that’s gone hard works wonders as well!!!

[@KDawnn]

Also I recommend putting a piece of bread in with your fresh baked cookies when you store them because they will keep longer👍🏻🍪

[@jethro4453]

Karli Dawn I've done this before and it made the cookies dry and stale by the next day

[@KDawnn]

Jethro oh darn! It always works so well for me!💗

[@jethro4453]

Karli Dawn imagine my disappointment when I excitedly pulled out a cookie the next day only to have it be stale and dry 😭

[@KDawnn]

Jethro seriously that is the worst feeling ever! That’s so weird bc the bread is the only thing that keeps my cookies fresh and soft. If I don’t put the bread in, my cookies become so stale

[@DramateyesMe1]

I neeeed that sweater! It is so perfect! The color, the shape/drape, everything! So beautiful!

[@BeachandCoffee]

For stale bread, I just steam it in a steamer basket. It is a trick I learned when I did the macrobiotic diet for a while back. No need to pour water on the bread and bake it. Steaming is easier. It's perfect for Pumpernickel or rye breads.

[@fangirl997]

I love the cookie bread trick! I have been doing that for years :)

[@huneyoo]

[@Rielsufficiency]

Make the whipped cream in a protein shaker with the metal ball/whisk thingy that it comes with

[@allisonavery7273]

That sounds awesome

[@rachelporter6077]

A better whipped cream hack: 1. Put your heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla in a blender. 2. Blend for 10 to 15 seconds. 3. Ta-dah! The fastest whipped cream you will ever make.

[@JMahn725]

Rachel Wilson I think the hack is for when you don’t have a blender or whisk lol

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

Does that aerate it much?

[@JMahn725]

StaceFubar I like using a hand mixer personally or my kitchen aid stand mixer. I haven’t tried a blender but I have tried my nutribullet and I didn’t think it worked very well

[@bronwynanne36]

Why are guys laughing at this. It sounds really scary and it’s so dangerous. If you fear your esophagus you’re dead, there’s no way to fix that.

[@ashleighchristie3383]

[@shootoutforthestars4763]

Also tons of non aussies will understand 😂

[@WritingKeepsMeSane]

That bread hack is something my mom taught me for storing homemade cookies and it's something that we use to keep the cookies moist and tasting like they were made that day. If you have a small batch you can use one slice but a slightly bigger one we've always used two. It works really well and is a great way to keep cookies from hardening up if they're prone to!

[@elizabethpawlowski2673]

The bread is meant to just be run under water and then baked, it was just shown on a backing tray because it was probably easier to film. I've done this a few times and it works, but you definitely used too much water if it was soggy. My French baguettes come out crispy on the outside and soft and like fresh on the inside

I've made butter with heavy whipping cream in a mason jar and yes it takes a long time but it tastes so good! I always stick the jar in the freezer for a bit first because the colder it is the easier it'll whip :)

[@Ciara1211.]

The mason jar one; if you don’t add the sugar eventually, eventually you can make butter. They made us do it in elementary school.

[@NorthernLighsGirl]

Ciara1211 i has to make butter that way in culinary school .. was “punishment” for not doing the homework

Or if you add the sugar and are vehement yet spacy 12 year old, you make very, very sweet butter 😓

"... taking a piece of stale bread" * slams bread on the counter 3 times* " this is stale." IDK WHY BUT I KEEP PLAYING THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN I FIND IT SO FUNNY 😂😂😂

[@lindean2013]

We grew up with keeping bread in with cookies! The water trick also works with a damp paper towel and pizza. I also recently saw a tip for cutting bell peppers-slice off both ends and make a slit in a side and then you can unfold it, cleanly pull out the core, and it’s perfect for quickly slicing or roasting without the core. (Obviously then use the top and bottom)

[@johnmaris3919]

"Bread, plants. Whatever." I'm crying

[@kiwibug07]

marshmallows in brown sugar keeps it soft. i honestly didn’t think it would work but it’s amazing. husband likes brown sugar in his coffee and just a few mini marshmallows in the sugar bowl and it’s stays soft forever!!

[@hiloha6030]

😂lol "BREAD you the mvp here"

[@S.Preetz]

The whipping cream hack could work with some adjustments. Like you should use those metal balls found in protein shake bottles and shake it. It kind of works like a whisk

Kate Allermann i believe h&m has similiar sweaters 😊

[@carolynknierim6848]

Also, if you slice the orange into 2 segments in the same direction you sliced off the ends, or slice in half through the stem ends and then cut in slices you can pull the slices open like an accordion. Works really well!

[@sarascott7078]

My grandma used to do the cookies and bread trick, but with a slide of apple. I also stick a slice of bread in with my brown sugar and it stays moist.

[@Lauramt2287]

I think the strawberry hack is the best one! Totally going to do that in the future. Thanks!

[@jorjorsmile]

The last one does not work. You can’t wipe enough air into it like that and if you shake to long it turns to butter... and that ladies and gentlemen is how butter is made and in this case sweet vanilla butter. (I know from experience, you live and you learn)

[@anniespurr5870]

The whipped cream one does work but it takes a long time to shake it. You can also make butter the same way but with no sugar or anything else just the whipping cream

[@jendrivesajeep6656]

I haven't bought the pre-peeled garlic since watching the Netflix docuseries Rotten. One episode was about the garlic industry and Chinese inmates peel the garlic and some even have to use their teeth because the peeling had ruined their fingernails. You can actually see the dent their nails/teeth leave in the garlic when you buy it 🤢

[@ginbo33]

i am so baffled that pre-peeled garlic is even a thing. i mean i live in a pretty underdeveloped eastern european country so i guess thats why i didnt see it XD

MICHELLES EMPIRE Yup, someone had to peel it. They also sell peeled whole cloves and you can see the nail/teeth marks in them.

[@kristenm348]

There's 100% machines that do the work & my pre-peeled garlic isn't from China either so???

[@lindsayvlogslife]

Kristen Merke I didn't say all pre-peeled garlic was peeled there. But even if it says Product of Canada/USA/whatever doesn't mean it was peeled here, it could have been processed anywhere. I highly recommend you watch that episode of Rotten if you're interested in learning more.

Is it really that hard to peel an egg? Just crack it on a counter and slide off

[@miquelmontgomery2542]

Christiana K it actually is pretty hard to peel an egg sometimes. Like for me I can cook it at just the right temperature for the right amount of time and when I go to peel it the egg comes off and it becomes really messy because the shell does not slide off like it should

[@sagesaria]

Sometimes you get those eggs that want to cling to their shell for dear life and attempting to peel them takes a lot of the white with it.

In Germany we often eat "bread rolls" in the morning, and we actually often times use the water hack if the rolls are from yesterday or if we just want to make it taste like freshly made. Just coat it with a bit of water and backing it for a few minutes and it tastes like freshly baked again! So we do use that hack.

[@LdyJayde]

Good to know about the eggs. Peeling eggs is one of the things I hate most in life lol. The strawberry hack I've tried before and it gets old really fast if you're going through an entire container of strawberries.

For garlic cut off the root end of clove smash with flat side of knife and skin is either off or easy to Peel as it will be partially of.

[@EuleMarija]

Gosh, people, why are you struggling with garlic that much??? Just separate garlic into sections and cut off the bottom and top of section, then pill it with your precious hands. It is so easy and so much faster than all the hacks you find in internet 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

Marija Eule I do that but I guess alot of people don't like the garlic on their fingers?

[@EuleMarija]

StaceFubar few drops of lemon juice on your fingers and there is no smell left.

[@alistercat]

I have a connective tissue disorder that causes a lot of pain and weakness in my joints, especially my hands. I have a hard time peeling garlic even when it's "easy." I also struggle with turning keys sometimes, and can't open soda or water bottles using my hands alone. Also can't open Tupperware half the time and drop things at random so often I'm banned from carrying dishes that can break across the kitchen. It's not just garlic is what I'm trying to say. I can do it, it just hurts a ton and takes a lot longer than it would for the average person, even if I do try to crush it first (sometimes I can't because I can't put enough pressure on it to get it to crush). A lot of hacks and tools that seem to be lazy are useful and sometimes even required for people with disabilities to be able to do things on their own.

[@shawnahoffman4940]

My guess for the whipped cream one is you need a larger mason jar.

[@jethro4453]

Shawna Hoffman and perhaps chill the empty jar in the fridge before starting. I always chill the mixing bowl before making whipped cream to help it whip up faster

[@shawnahoffman4940]

Jethro I do the same thing. I didn’t think about chilling the mason jar though. Not a bad idea :)

[@kimbergray8125]

Also all items must be very clean. Any residue will result in non whipped cream.
