⭐️ Mindy, to remove the garlic smell from your hands, wash your hands with a metal spoon or butter knife in between your palms. Sounds weird but works like a charm. Works on the onion smell too. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

My trick for fresh tasting garlic without the smelly hands. Buy a large quantity of garlic and put it in the food processor with just enough oil to make it moldable. I use a cookie scoop to put it out on a baking sheet and freeze them and once they're frozen enough to not stick together I put the little scoops - double bagged - into the freezer! Anytime a recipe calls for garlic I just get a scoop out from the freezer and toss it in. It took me less than 10 minutes to get them ready to freeze!
