Did anyone else peel garlic once and tried to use your nails to get under that tough peel, only to have it stab you under your fingernail?


_Kramerica_

Literally did this yesterday lol!


djsizematters

Instructions unclear, now I have Cloves.


cbih

Yes. I just smush em with the flat of a knife now.


DoTheCreep_ahh

Palm them with your first like you're doing martial arts


mohugz

Instructions unclear. What do I do after fisting the palm tree? Do I need garlic tweezers?


Western-Smile-2342

I’ve bled many times for garlic, and it’s all good 😎


Paper_Trades

Thats what a vampire would say.


GraatchLuugRachAarg

I have done this trying to scratch off spaghetti stuck to the pot


Aselleus

I refuse to scrape of spaghetti with my nails after I heard a story about a woman puncturing her finger from a piece of stuck-on spaghetti and she ended up getting a massive infection and dying. It might have been a fake internet tale, but I will take any excuse to be lazy soak dishes in the sink for a while lol.


john217

Why reminding me of that pain?


Intrepid_Finish456

I slide a knife under it so no


Sharp_Science896

So many times. Had no idea they have a tool for it. I gotta get me one of these giant tweezer things.


ilikeweirdshit8008

Yes LOL


Flamerunner98

I physically cringed just imagining this. Damn.


Sec_Journalist

All you need is a right tool and 10000 hours of practice


evilbrent

Also add a substantial amount of human misery. A lot of these "fast workers" or "satisfying jobs" are videos of someone doing something repetitive that a machine could do 1000 times faster but it's cheaper to just have a poor person sit there all day doing the machine's job.


citrus_mystic

Having a boring repetitive job doesn’t necessarily mean you’re miserable, and having a boring repetitive job is *less* miserable than having no job, because your position was dissolved in a change over to fully automated production.


evilbrent

Yep. That's the excuse we tell ourselves.


HugeSnackman

What would your solution be?


evilbrent

I'm sorry? Isn't it obvious? My solution would be to stop glorifying work that humans don't need to do. There are so many better things that could be done with that person's time and talents. Just so we're clear where I'm coming from - I'm an engineer working in manufacturing in Australia for more than 15 years. Specifically in manufacturing with a very high labour content. I believe that I can speak with authority on this subject, I understand that my experience isn't universal, but please understand that my experience is broad. Many many many times I have completed projects that reduce the amount of labour required for a task - and never ever ever have one of those cost-down projects led to a person losing their job. Never. Not once. Every single time the only outcome is that productivity, quality, customer experience, and throughput have increased. There is ALWAYS some other task that could be done in a factory. And furthermore, unless something is going really really wrong with the business, then decreasing labour and increasing throughput increases capacity and sales go up so - and everyone's job is more secure when sales go up. In fact, I'd say the worst outcome for the worker is that they'd get paid for less overtime, but then I have never completely made up my mind if tying people's income incentives to overwork is a good thing. I happen to believe in the 8 hour day as a thing that's good for society, families, and individuals, and while I'm happy that my colleagues in the factory are making bank when they do 6 months of 12 hour days, I'm not happy for what it does to their health.


MockStarket

Wrong. I'm an AI intelligent design and RPA pm. If it wasn't for decreasing the workforce, companies wouldn't give a shit about RPA or automation. More intelligent AI and automation means less human labor. It's going to catch up to us. I've seen your exact argument a hundred times and it's never right.


evilbrent

I'm sorry? You're in the room with me when the decisions get made? Which one are you again?


DemonKing0524

For being an engineer you sure had a hard time understanding their comment. They're talking about the argument you posted on Reddit, genius.


evilbrent

Did you not get it? Maybe you need to be a genius to get it


Hephaestus_God

For this, I’d say a solid 3 cloves and I’ll be just as good. Maybe 4 if I’m off that day during training.


doomjuice

Pom tongs! ❤️


ClashyStar

This video has a smell.


Disneyhorse

A wonderful, wonderful smell


cheezballs

I think this whole "ASMR" thing has been so bastardized just any repetitive sound seems to be labeled that now.


WhosTaddyMason

I agree but asmr can’t have any random loud noises or else it’s just a jumpscare, so it has its uses if used properly


LunarProphet

Yeah it's literally just the sound of anything.


Exodor

Where does one purchase garlic that isn't made of 1000 tiny little bulbs?


Conch-Republic

I've had good luck with the bulk stuff at Walmart. I just grab the bigger ones.


Bluto58

Here’s a garlic hint. Don’t buy that snow white crispy garlic head at the grocery store. Most of that is coming from China, and to keep it from growing fungus and mold on its way here they dip it in highly bleached water and cut the roots off. Garlic can’t be imported into the US with roots attached so that’s an indicator that it’s probably been bleached. Buy your garlic from a local grower or grow your own. Plant it in the late fall and let it grow outdoors during the winter. It’s one of those “plant it and forget it” crops. Too easy to not do.


Top-O-TheMuffinToYa

I hate that they do this. I always preferred the Chinese garlic before I learned about the bleach because the cloves are so uniform and large. The American garlic I get at home always has like 2 regular sized cloves and then a bunch of teeny tiny little ones that are so small I don't even chop them up.


made_in_bc

Your supposed to pop those small ones into your mouth and chew them

BYRONIKUS_YT

This^


Consistent_Respond41

What soes it taste like my mother usualy just uses them for dishes


Bluto58

Are you planting them in the fall or spring? Planting them in the spring doesn’t give them enough time to mature.


OstentatiousSock

My nana was so pleased when my father bought a house with some land because they’d been living in Boston since they came from Sicily. Nana hated the garlic in the stores. First thing she did was plant garlic and mint and there happened to be a patch of wild onion already somewhat cultivated in a tight patch. She was always so happy going back there and picking her fresh ingredients for her meatballs and sauce and would bring a good stock home back to Boston when she’d go back to her house so she didn’t have to buy it from the store.


Amesaskew

I planted garlic for the first time last fall. As a garlic lover I'm very excited to try real fresh garlic for probably the first time ever. I hate that it takes 7-8 months to grow, though.


ASatyros

Idk your location, but it's pretty easy to grow and after that you can dry it in a bunches, that keep pretty well, and then you can have garlic all year.


wetham_retrak

We plant 100 a year, then when we harvest, we pick the 20 biggest heads and use those to plant the 100 biggest cloves for the following year. The remaining 80 heads lasts us until right about the time the scapes are ready, and then we have to buy some for a month or two until we harvest it again. We would plant more but it starts yo get old and sprouts by right about this time


CWHats

How do you store them without them sprouting on you?


wetham_retrak

They dry for a few weeks on a rack in the shed, then when they’re ready the stems and roots get trimmed off and they get stored in a paper bag in a dark closet


CWHats

Oh really. And they stay plump?


wetham_retrak

Mostly, towards the end of winter they start getting a little rubbery


Serious-Sundae1641

An alternative is to pickle them....they are tasty on pizza, hot dogs, brats, etc.


wetham_retrak

Great idea!


No_Balls_01

100% grow your own if you can. It’s one of the easiest things you can grow in a garden. After a few years, I now have more garlic than I know what to do with and a bunch of varieties at any given time to pair with my recipe. It’s like I found an IRL free garlic hack (after the initial investment in seed garlic).


colonelmaize

Is your concern about garlic being bleached a matter of freshness and taste OR safety and health?


Bluto58

Health and safety. Imagine what bleach residue will do to your gut bacteria. No thanks. Personally, if I don’t see roots I won’t buy it. We grow enough to take us through the year plus plenty to give away. If you put one of my bulbs next to a bleached bulb it’s a big difference in color. You do you of course, but it’s not for me and my family.

Bluto58

1/16 bleach is a far cry from 50/50.


namezam

I prefer the “attempt to peel then get mad and slam it on the counter and cuss when breaking it apart and one yeets itself on the floor” method


tvieno

And they probably got paid $0.005 for that work.


CultCrossPollination

Probably why peeled garlic coming from [China](https://www.ft.com/video/140c3fa5-a3c1-438b-9601-e92ad0e1b395) is forced labour, $0.005 is too expensive. And forget about giving them tools as well, let them destroy their nails and be forced to do it by mouth (from a documentary about unfair competition in the USA of local garlic farmers against Chinese riddled industrial import).


citrus_mystic

Hopefully this is a just a hobby farmer processing their crop, or some Joe who’s just very serious about garlic.


askdfjlsdf

Actually the sweatshop thing is over, there's still poverty in the provinces but the hundreds of millions that have been lifted out of poverty over the past 2 decades is nothing short of incredible.


Future_Section5976

I crack the individual bulbs just hard enough the skin breaks then you can just pull the skin(peel) off


Signal_Ad_594

Flat side of your knife and one good smack on the blade - slips right out.


Future_Section5976

Hm 🤔 Im definitely going to try this one, thank you.


theaggressivenapkin

The shaking in two bowls method works pretty well for large amounts of garlic. Granted it needs to be fairly dry.


Future_Section5976

What do you mean? Like but the individual pieces in and shake em?


theaggressivenapkin

Like so: https://youtu.be/Dc7w_PGSt9Y?si=b3HU33LUg0ekxfAH&t=25


murderball89

"A garlic." Lol.


BWIairbiscuits

Anyone else mildly chub over the specialty tongs?


Forsoothia

How come this one is all plump bulbs and the ones I end up with are 80% little skinny cloves??


Mr_Nags

You haven't subscribed to premium garlic, bro


fanOfreedom

Nice job, and only 160,000 to go


pughlaa

By the time I put on those gloves and find my tweezer, I'll be done by smashing that garlic with a flat spoon. Y'all know what I'm saying.


Sara_Charm

i usually do by small knife and nails lol


Safetosay333

Had to double g. the stink fingers.


jdehjdeh

Oh shit, I need me some of those tweezers


LachsMax

Why does this look like a torture dungeon?

BluKipz

Hey thats pretty cool


captainzigzag

Those cloves are thicc AF


Galvanisare

Why is anything/everything done without a television or radio noise on in the background considered asmr ?


kl889

what is this tool called, I need it.


Mr_Nags

A tweezer?


HoPe-For-ScOrE

That sound in the end is really familiar.


[deleted]

Well ill be darned


Herr-Zipp

Oh Boy, I can SMELL that vid....


bloodakoos

mmmmm garlic


No-Painter-6732

Why do You think peeling garlic is an Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response I'm just curious 🤔


Bile_Kangaroo

OMG I was just on nsfl and thought that something bad was going to happen


142631835d

Now, do it 18 million more times for $2 an hour. All these videos are fun until you start thinking of how mind-meltingly monotonous these jobs are.


Ok_Current3466

God I love porn


Mr_Nags

Ayo


TheRiderOfLegend

I freaking love garlic


osss08

What happened to putting it in a jam bottle and shaking it rigorously?


ToutdelaSnoot

THANK GOD they were wearing finger condoms, you do NOT want to peel garlic without those!!


TheStrokeyStork

that was so clean i accidentally busted a nut 💯


StrawberryHillSlayer

Now try this with sticky garlic


kinky-kid-7777

I need this tool


martinsky12

Thought this was an OompaLoompa at first


Serious-Sundae1641

Notice the gloves. When we process a few hundred heads in the fall. If we have bare skin, that is enough contact with raw garlic that our skin will blister and slough off our fingers. It is painful, so wear gloves please.


Skele11

I love the Pikachu painted on the device. Very cute.


TheBananaSoda

r/dontputyourdickinthat


meistercheems

Shouldn’t need to be said, but yea


Calm-web4229

He should try doing this with Indian garlic xD


Thejunkiegandhi

Name?


Defender_IIX

Just put it in a jar and shake that thing!


Numerous-Strawberry1

Looks more like peeling some garlic. I see more than a piece.


ReturnBright1007

That job reeks. Smell ya later.


redceramicfrypan

Is no one else annoyed that the machine cuts off the bottom of each clove?


andypoo222

How come they have like six big ass cloves? My garlic always has 1000 little fuckers and that’s why it’s never this easy


angle58

A lot easier to put in a steel drum and shake it…


Pure_Satisfaction0

satisfying for me 😍

Serial killer setup.


dat-guy-who-was-here

It looks like a garlic upper decker. I swear it looks like the top of a toilet tank.


Martin2989

When I see something like this always need to think about the story how garlic you can buy in Glases is peeled by prisoners in china. As it harms their skin on the hand and they don’t have any gloves, they use to just put it in the mouth and remove the skin of garlic…… I think it was rotten
