all the peels

A novel method, made viral this week thanks to a video posted, to Twitter, by Valentina Bachkarova-Lord, a game designer in Toronto, works by a different principle. The video shows a pair of hands using the point of a knife to stab each clove from an intact head of garlic and pop it from its skin. There doesn’t seem to have been any special soaking or pummelling first; just a strategic marriage of blade and pressure. The video is hypnotic: the garlic seems almost to want to be peeled, its cloves bursting outward in a jubilant, efficient cascade, like an Esther Williams diving sequence.

That video needs to be a repeating animated gif.
