If you have to peel garlic and do not like the job, it can be done without effort doing the following:

Separate the cloves of garlic one by one. Place them on the counter or a firm base, take a knife with a wide blade. Put the blade on top of the garlic clove and give it a sharp tap. You will see how the skin will split and you can remove the garlic clove. I assure you this will ease the job especially if you have many cloves to peel.
