VIDEO: Can You Peel Garlic In 10 Seconds?

By Anthony Todd in Food on Nov 11, 2013 5:30PM

It's not the big fancy recipes with a hundred steps that you remember; it's the simple kitchen tricks. That's why this video from Saveur had us frantically bookmarking and friend-emailing the moment we saw it.

Executive Food Editor Todd Coleman will show you how to peel an entire head—not a clove, a head—of garlic in a few seconds. It's just in time for all of those Thanksgiving mashed potatoes. Plus, the old-timey border makes us smile.

PS: If you haven't already played with Saveur's Thanksgiving menu generator, you're missing out.
