Get your aggressions and your garlic out in the open with this handy technique.
Take a heavy cleaver and a clove of garlic. Smash the clove of garlic with the flat side of the knife, applying pressure until you feel the garlic "pop." Remove the skin and enjoy all the time you saved and pent up emotion you released.
Never fear, The Basic Kitch is here. Simple techniques, step-by-step demos and a little Mashable twist to make sure you're paying attention.
If you're still peeling garlic by hand, it's time to get out your cleaver and think about your ex.
Ughhhhh, garlic takes for-ev-er.
Pull off a clove to get it ready.
Use your knife to smash it all the way to freedom!
