My favorite ingredient to eat.

My least favorite to prepare.

The stickiness and the paper make it a pain in the arse...but it's worth it. The more garlic the better.

I peel and chop mine by hand. I've done it so much it doesn't take much effort.

Jacques Pepin is tGOAT. My way is very similar, but my knife skills are in no way as good as his.

... here is a tip ...

When you buy a head of fresh garlic, be sure to look at the dried out root area. If it has any dark or gray areas don't buy it. That is mold that attached to the roots at the beginning of the drying process. Look for the lightest brown / beige roots. The garlic will last longer in storage.

I prefer just using the heal of my palm. Seems safer when I’m also enjoying a beer or whiskey while cooking and slightly distracted with music or a good podcast.

Buy peeled garlic in bulk, puree it with a little bit of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to form a "slurry". Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze it. Pop into ziploc bag for use on demand.

If you’re too lazy to peel garlic then you don’t deserve to eat garlic
