Getting the Most Out of Garlic

To get the full flavor of garlic without wasting the oils, when chopped or crushed, is to put the peeled, whole clove, into your sauces, and let simmer until soft (about 1/2 hour). Then mash the clove of garlic with a fork on the edge of the pot. Stir and continue to simmer. This tip was handed down from my Great Aunt.
