Jules cackling in the background is great. Honestly, go back to morning tv cooking if you hate Jules having a laugh

[@grabsplatter6277]

dude the laughs make it feel like a bunch of mates just hanging about cooking and enjoying the company in the moment. makes it feel homey

[@lilstars5599]

Spot on!

[@smirkingparadox]

My favorite garlic peeling trick is to place it under the flat side of your knife and give it a tap if you're going to slice it, and a good whack if you're going to mince it. Makes it super easy to take the skin (peel?) off. Zero chance Nat sees this I'm sure, but if it helps anyone else that'll be awesome.

[@christydeane839]

Absolutely! And, if you’re peeling a bunch of them, blanching them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then shocking them in ice water for 5 or so, makes the skins just slip off, without cooking the garlic.

[@nickilee1587]

There is a very illusive silicon tapered sleeve you used to be able to buy. Put the garlic inside, roll around and boom! Garlic unskinned ... 😱😆 .. They are real, I've used one, once, was amazing .. good luck finding one 😉

[@allisong1551]

😂

[@BrianWestlakes]

posted another comment but you might miss it and that would be a shame. Anyway the important part was this: I top and tail my garlic cloves, then press the flat of the knife onto them to flatten the cloves onto the board. Then the skin slides right off and they're easy to chop, dice or pick up and mince on the microplane. (credit to Chef Martin Yan. Learned from a four minute video he did on OG youtube on how to mince garlic and ginger. Went back to find it to give props. His way and no going back.)

[@kristin7146]

[@thedragonstrove411]

3:59 a good way of peeling garlic, is blanching it in boiling water for 30-45 seconds. It helps separate the skin from the cloves, and makes peeling easier.

[@breezybeats6315]

“Suffer in ya jocks” is a brilliant expression and we should use it more

[@oliverj.turner1563]

Thanks for the joy Jules

[@NickyKnickerson]

I think the difference is Shepard's pie uses lamb because Shepherds raise sheep and the Cottage pie uses beef because houses only raise cows.

[@donnacrowther3698]

Excatly..... glad you said it as I was going too also x

[@Womble1984]

I came to say the same thing 😊

[@jack28aug]

cottage pie comes from when potatoes started being eaten in england, they were cheap and peasants lived in cottages at the time, so they made this cheap pie with potatoes instead of expensive pastry, 1st off with beef, later a lamb version (more expensive meat), was invented called shepherds pie. x

[@DrHydeOfficial]

Who would ever want Jules to stop her laughter. I love how she takes the piss out of you, and just adds that little extra.

[@_letstartariot]

I live in Australia. But listening to you and watching you makes me feel nostalgic for Australia. You say words I have not heard used in 20 years, and it’s the best. Subbed!

[@EnZedGasMan]

Never lose Jules's laugh, it is pure joy

[@corlwellpryor1893]

Jules' laugh is fantastic, puts a smile on ya face. My wife passed this on to me, put the cloves into hot water from the kettle for 5 mins and drain, cut the ends off and the skin comes off so easy!

[@janelte]

Yay your wife! Thank you. And I reckon Nat is right - the harder to peel varieties usually have more flavour. There are varieties grown now specifically for easier peeling.

[@barbarahope1934]

I tried this tip and it worked. Many thanks.

[@Museofmemory]

Ooh, gotta give this a try

[@christydeane839]

Yes, only needs 30 seconds, that way the garlic doesn’t get cooked, then shock it in ice water for a few minutes and they’ll basically fall off.

[@tonykuriger573]

To address the Jules' laugh situation you need to do a video for roast pork with cackling. It will just be a GoPro watching an oven with a slab of pig in it and an audio loop of Jules laughing.

I used to have something resembling a small section of rubber hose, about 15cm long. You whack the garlic clove inside and give it a roll, skin comes right off. Pretty sure you can find 'em at House or somewhere like that who sell kitchen stuff.

My life was absolute shit for decades until I was shown this one simple trick.

Jules' laughter is a crucial element! Never cut it out! Also, peeling garlic - I feel exactly the same way. I love to cook and I love garlic and I've tried just about every method for making peeling garlic easier. The "best" I've found are these silicone tubes (you insert the clove(s) and roll the tube and it releases the peel) but honestly - it's just enough of a faff that I never use it and I end up just peeling by hand.

Theres two sides to the garlic clove. Pinch the top end off with your nails, then squish and squeeze and twist between your finger and thumb. Pops straight out. Takes 2 seconds per clove and no tools or utensils. Edit: i actually grab it by the top and squeeze and twist with the other hand, then twist/pinch/pull the tip off with my other hand at the same time. Its one motion and the peel comes off in one piece except for the tip of the clove that you pinch off. (The skin is stuck to thr clove the hardest towards the tip)
