How to Peel a Whole Head of Garlic in Less Than 10 seconds and Without a Knife!

We have our heads more or less wrapped around nuclear physics and string theory and surgical miracles these days….but nothing has blown my mind like this recent video demo and article by Saveur on how to peel garlic!

You can peel a whole head of garlic in 10 seconds (or less) - without a knife – without getting bits of garlic in your fingernails – without any special gadget.  Seriously? Why has this been unknown to me? How many hours of my life (perhaps even days) have I wasted struggling with garlic? Man oh man, this changes everything!

Watch this short video at Saveur and prepare to be amazed.
