Step 1
Renowned chef Todd Coleman suggests peeling garlic in the following way. Take a head of garlic. With one blow of your palm from above, break it into teeth. Take two fairly large, deep metal bowls and put the slices separated from the head in one of them. Cover with the second bowl and shake vigorously. After 10 seconds, the garlic is peeled.
Step 2
The easiest and most common way to peel garlic is with a knife. Wash the garlic, however, it is not necessary, cut off the lobe, tops, remove the first integumentary leaves, detach one clove from the head, take a knife and expose the slice to the end, removing the remaining integumentary leaves.
Step 3
There are versatile options for cooking garlic. For example, baked garlic. In this form, it can be used for cooking poultry, included in salad dressings, mashed soups, spread on a baguette and other flour products for further baking or as a ready-made sauce. In this case, you can not clean it at all, but bake the whole head. Or, for more convenient use of baked garlic in subsequent preparations of culinary dishes, remove the topmost layer of husk, cut off the tops, as if removing the caps from the cloves.

Young garlic has a slightly damp husk, so it is easier to clean it with your hands. Having previously cut off the lobe and the upper part with a knife, remove the rest of the leaves with your hands.
Step 5
When peeling garlic, you can remove the core part, popularly called "anger". The taste of garlic, and the dishes in general, will not deteriorate from this. But the specific smell from the mouth after eating garlic can be avoided.
