      I also hate the smell that lingers on my hands for days after touching it. Would much rather just scoop it with a tablespoon and call it a day.

      If you don’t want to crush them with the side of a knife to loosen the peels (it works great but then the squashed garlic is hard to hold if you’re grating it), a trick I saw was to chop the bottoms off the cloves and then throw them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. The skins start to fall right off and peel like magic.

        tbh I’m not sure if nuked garlic is going to be much better than pre-minced and jarred garlic
