It's much easier to peel garlic cloves by smashing them with the flat of the knife (skin slides right off). -Al |

Maybe if you want full uncrushed cloves, but for chopped garlic, pick up the [censored] knife that you were going to chop it with anyway and squash it. |

I suggest getting The Professional Chef. That book will show you every basic technique you'll ever need to know. |

Squish the garlic first.
Use a large knife.... put it flat-side to the garlic. Press down. Very easy to peel afterwards. |

Seriously, it's a sequence of itemized instructions and specific measurements. Following explicit instructions is about as easy as life gets. |
