Tip about ginger it's VERY easy to peel.......... as long you don't use something sharp like er.. knife or peeler.
Because of it's fiberous nature and the direction of the fibres a sharp instrument will attempt to cut through them. Making the job twice as hard as it needs to be.
Try with the very blunt back of a knife (or the handle of a teaspoon) and you will be absolutely amazed how easy the skin scrapes off. I gently scrape with a blunt table knife.
You won't believe it until you try. The sharper the blade the harder the job.

I feel the same. Although the smell is usually shit and cheese in my case.
Jar stuff is rubbish. Got some on the way home last night and used it in a stir fry.
Ruined it completely.
No, I thought I'd give it a go. Jar is now in the bin.
I do like the ice cube idea though.
Real thing it is then, just can't stand the smell on my fingers for hours later even after scrubbing.
As an alternative aldi or lidl I forget which one sell humongous single cloves of garlic, roughly the sir of a golf ball. Saves as much time as opening a jar of the prepared stuff. Or as I do once a month make a big batch of stock up with loads of minced garlic and decant into ice cube trays and freeze. Pop out a cube whenever you need it for anything, curries, stir frys, stews , etc.
