The Easiest Way to Mince Garlic | Food Network

You look like a really nice guy.

Nothing beats 'not having one more thing to clean'. I'll give this method a shot. My cordless immersion blender with food processor attachment is actually quite easy to clean but still, this is so simple! Though I already smash it with the knife to peel it and the maneuver always makes me feel uneasy lol.

I FARTED

lol dumb

Now I retired luv your vids

Thank you. 😊

I was able to perfectly mince my first garlic clove! Thanks for this video!

Thank you so much.

That smash blew my mind

I’m sitting with a wide opened mouth at the genius of this! I have discovered a love for fresh garlic then got frustrated because of how tedious it was. Not now! Awesome!

You’re amazing

You’re fabulous. Tysm

I like to use those Japanese ceramic ginger grater plates, and you keep the juices in..

AWESOME

Thank you Michael! I will be taking out my frustrations on garlic from now on!

Omg totally amazing can't believe what I just saw I will never look at garlic in the same light again thank you so much

Totally smashing!!🎯. Thanks!!❤️

Neither of those techniques are a mince though!

😁

I miss his baby face 😯

The people that are buying pre-processed garlic in any form don't concern themselves with the difference in taste

I agree, garlic is very simple & easy to prepare. It doesn’t take any time at all!! Chef Michael Simon is awesome 👏

When I get it that way it seems dry when you get it prepared it has a little more juice and flavor

I used to have a garlic press but it annoyed me one to many times by getting caught when I was closing the drawer. Besides, as Alton Brown says, it's a unitasker. A knife works fine for me. Pre-chopped garlic- yuk!!! Come on! It doesn't take that much effort to chop fresh garlic! The more you do it, the easier it will be for you to do and you'll be much happier with the flavor.

Tell us something we dont already know

Chopped garlic is absolutely disgusting and I never buy it. The truth is, they add citric acid to preserve the garlic. Which in turn, makes the garlic bitter and sour when you cook it. It ruins like your entire dish, so use fresh garlic.

Cool I like that mincer tool. I am clumsy so I'd need that tool. I'd be to afraid of cutting myself trying to smash garlic with a knife 🔪 when I am cooking so I'd need that tool. I will look for it next time I am at the store. Most of the time I just buy allready cut up garlic because regular garlic is to time consuming for me to do by hand.

That second smash tho….Sweet!

The second smash is what I missing!!!! Thank you!!

Sometimes I peel garlic but keep its root and cut slices into the clove keeping it intact. Garlic infuses into the food without one having to eat the bits.

Are people really that lazy to smash garlic.. smh

Woow amazing skill friend! 🦇
