A Canadian woman claiming to make a lot of Korean food has won the internet after sharing an unbelievably quick and convenient method of peeling garlic.
Over the weekend, Twitter user @VPestilenZ posted a video of herself demonstrating the kitchen hack, which has since received over 15 million views and thousands of comments.
The technique, which uses a knife, involves stabbing each clove of garlic and pulling it out of its skin.
As seen in the video, each clove is pulled and separated from the rest in one direction.
As someone who makes a lot of Korean food, this is the best method for getting garlic peeled! pic.twitter.com/14GGJDQhRj
It’s unclear what Korean dishes @VPestilenZ — who is actually a game developer — often prepares, but we’d love to see them (with some garlic-peeling, of course)!
Needless to say, many were struck for missing the ingenious hack for so long:
this kind of info exchange is why the internet exists
Not sure how I never knew about this. I lament when I consider how much more garlic I could have used during all these years had I only known of this technique.
We grow garlic every year, if this method works I think I’ve wasted the equivalent of several months of my life peeling garlic. pic.twitter.com/imzxqtxqZb
