Garlic present in many dishes as a condiment. Garlic cloves are very hard and small in size. In order to evenly distribute the garlic throughout the volume of the dish, it must be crushed or even ground.
Cutting it into many small pieces with a knife is quite problematic, so a special crusher is used, in which the garlic is flattened and squeezed out through the holes under the influence of an external force.
But what if there is no crusher at hand? If you just try to crush the head of garlic with some tool (spoon, knife or pestle from a mortar), you won’t be able to make a homogeneous mass. In this case, the desired taste effect will not be achieved.
The article describes how to chop or rub garlic using tools that are always at hand.
