I love garlic.
When a recipe calls for a clove or two, youll often find me tossing in extra.

I often have jars ofgarlic confit,pickled garlic, androasted garlichanging out in my fridge.
I dont need to be reminded again and again of the meal I ate all those hours ago.
Luckily, it doesnt cost a thing.

You dont need any special equipmentchances are you have plenty around your kitchen.
The only trick is your hands need to be wet.
Rub your wet hands, focusing on the fingers, back and forth on the metal surface.
Rinse again (or better yet, wash with soap), and give a sniff.
If you still get a garlic scent, repeat, rubbing more thoroughly this time.
That way I dont leave funny-looking streaks all over my appliances.
Don’t Wait Too Long
Ive found that time plays a part in stinky hands.
Why Does It Work?
Its the only method Ive ever found that works.
Its shaped like a bar of soap and is therefore easier to maneuver.
The next time youre mincing, crushing, or chopping garlic, give this tip a try.
