Tip: Chopping Garlic Cloves

By A Cowboy's Wife | August 2, 2008

Just a quick tip when chopping garlic, always sprinkle a little salt to keep the garlic from sticking to your knife so much.  It really does help, I promise.  I’m sure many of you know this but I thought I’d share it anyways!

Here’s a few pics:)

Smash that garlic clove and peel off the outer layer.

Sprinkle your salt around..you’ll thank me later.

Without the salt, the garlic would be all over my hands and everything!!!  Believe me people, it makes a difference!

    Great tip! I’ll have to remember that. I usually end up having to scrape the knife and flick it off my hands :)

    Good tip, i usually end up with 90% of the garlic on my knife as i usually slice them really thin. This will definitely be tested next time I chop garlic.

    I never heard of using salt on the knife. I will have to give this a try. Thank you for the tip.
