Remember earlier this week, when we posted that awesome garlic video? It was from the test kitchens at Saveur and it turns out it was only the tip of the iceberg. Now they have a whole series of "Saveur Basics" videos that are beautiful, short and instructive.

Right now, there are nine of the videos. The topics include:

How to Cut a Pineapple
How to Dice an Onion
How to Peel a Garlic Clove
How to Finely Chop Parsley
How to Shuck an Oyster
How to Make Garlic Paste
How to Pit an Avocado
How to Chiffonade Basil
How to Peel Butternut Squash

They've got catchy piano music, step-by-step printed instructions on screen and beautiful photography. You should watch them all, but for your viewing pleasure, take a look at How to Shuck an Oyster.
