ABOUT ONIONS AND GARLICS!


These two (2) are the most commonly used spices but they have the most pungent and sticking odor especially during preparations. Moreover, onions will always bring you to tears when slicing and garlic peeling is really time-consuming! Here are some tips I learned from my friends and from culinary experts:

1. The best way to slice Onions is to FREEZE THEM FIRST. The irritating vapors release from onion during slicing will be trapped inside.

2. How To Destroy Onion Smells. Dampen hands and rub some bicarbonate of soda (commonly known as BAKING SODA) over them.

3. To peel Onions without tears, let water run over them while peeling.

4. To peel-off garlic easily. Dip it in ICE COLD WATER for several minutes.

5. To remove the smell of garlic from your hands, rub it on any STAINLESS STEEL kitchenware or rub on your stainless steel sink.
