Omelet Making Tip
Garlic Press

A garlic press forces a single clove of garlic through a metal grate, resulting in very thin strands of garlic. Garlic when pressed, has a very strong in flavor as more of the garlic cells are broken down and more of the garlic’s sulfurous chemicals are released.


Omelet Making Tip
Minced Garlic

The flavor of garlic gets very lively when you mince it. For even more flavor, crush the garlic clove with the flat edge of a large knife to release more of the garlic’s natural juices.
