Garlic is one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen, being featured in cuisines from around the world.
Its natural wrapper, however, leads to many methods of getting the cloves ready for cooking.
Now Twitter user 𝖛𝖆𝖑𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖆 ✣ 𝖑𝖔𝖗𝖉, or @VPestilenZ, has introduced many cooks to a new way to get to those flavorful nuggets wrapped in layers of papery skin.
They posted a video demonstration with the caption:
"As someone who makes a lot of Korean food, this is the best method for getting garlic peeled!👌"
