## **3. The Best Way to Peel Garlic (Without Losing Your Mind)**
Peeling garlic can be an annoying task, especially when the paper-thin skin seems to stick to everything but the garlic clove itself. It can slow down your cooking process and make an otherwise simple meal feel like a chore.
**So good to know**: There’s an easy way to peel garlic without all the fuss. Place a garlic clove under the flat side of a chef’s knife and give it a quick, gentle smash. This will cause the skin to loosen, making it easy to remove. This trick works wonders for garlic that’s stubborn and difficult to peel.
If you have a lot of garlic to peel, consider investing in a garlic peeler—a silicone tube that you can roll the garlic cloves inside. It’s an easy, mess-free way to get the garlic out of its skin.
## **4. Freezing Fresh Herbs for Later Use**
Sometimes, you find yourself with an abundance of fresh herbs that you just can’t use in time. If that’s the case, don’t throw them away! You can freeze herbs for later use in just a few simple steps.
**So good to know**: To freeze fresh herbs, chop them into small pieces, place them in an ice cube tray, and cover them with water or olive oil. Once frozen, you can pop the herb cubes out of the tray and store them in a zip-top bag or airtight container in the freezer. Whenever you need a burst of flavor for soups, stews, or sauces, simply drop a cube into the pot!
This is especially useful for herbs like basil, cilantro, thyme, and rosemary. Not only does it prevent waste, but it also ensures you’ll always have fresh herbs available in the off-season.
## **5. How to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs Every Time**
Hard-boiled eggs are a staple for breakfast, salads, and snacks, but getting them just right can be a challenge. Overcook them, and you’ll end up with dry, crumbly eggs. Under-cook them, and you’re left with an unappetizing, gooey mess.
**So good to know**: To achieve perfect hard-boiled eggs, start by placing your eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 9-12 minutes, depending on how well done you prefer your eggs. After the timer goes off, transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
This method guarantees creamy yolks and perfectly tender whites every time. Plus, you can make a batch of hard-boiled eggs ahead of time to use throughout the week.
