I want to start eating alot of garlic but I want a very EASY way to prepare it (IM a guy),any suggestions would be great,thanks,Joe.
Put a bulb into a small dish and pour a little olive oil over the top (not to deep fry it, just a little to sprinkle over the top).
Put it in the oven at 350 deg F for about 40-50 minutes. Then you can squeeze the cloves into, or over, whatever you like.
Preperation time 30 seconds!

Allicin has a half life of 10 days. Any of the garlic products that you buy - garlic oil, kyotic garlic, etc. - there is no allicin left in it. So any prior experience you have had with any garlic products, other than fresh garlic, forget that. Erase that out of your mind ``tried garlic once and it didn't work'' - put that on the side.
Excerpt.
Let me talk about Allicin. Garlic contains Alliin, which is the chemical precursor to Allicin, and they get converted to
Allicin through an enzyme called Alliinase. That happens when you chew garlic; when you break up the cell membrane of the plant cells, the enzyme that is in the cell wall gets released and combines with alliin and then allicin is created within 20 seconds.
The only garlic products that have their full allicin-releasing potential left is fresh garlic and freeze-dried garlic.

Break the bulbs apart and peel the individual cloves.
Get a very small skillet half full of olive oil ,(I use an iron skillet).
Bring the oil (very carefully) up to french frying temp. and french fry the cloves hole.
Place them in paper towels to drain,then salt them and EAT THEM UP!!! MMM GOOD.
