How to cook your garlic and enjoy it too.

Hypothetical situation: Yesterday you made a stew. It was a tasty stew, a satisfying repast. Its remenants shall assuage more than one future bout of hunger, but tonight you crave variety, something new, something different.

Assesing the ingredients at hand, you identify a potato, some small  bit of garlic and a steak. Together, they server as the means by which you’ll feed yourself this night. The potato (microwaved out of lazyness), a bit of butter, salt and most of the garlic make a side dish of mashed potatoes. The steak, covered in a salt/peper rub will cook nicly on your George Foreman grill (For it is summer and they heat of a stove is far from welcome).

At the last minute, you realize a bit of garlic, minced, with a few drops of olive oil would lend itself well to the steak. There is but one problem, dear reader. How do you keep from burning the garlic, roasting it to a bitternese beereft of its former savory goodness? The cunning chef would find many a suitable solution within a quick glance of his kitchen. I shall share with you but one.

Find a cork, not one of those plonking cheap rubber/plastic substitutes, but a real cork. Cut it in half, crosswise and place each half on a side of the grill. Place your steak in the center of the grill and pour over the top of it your garlic and oil. Lower the lod of the grill so it rests on the cork, thos pillars of strength, protecting the delicate balance of flavor.

To further augment, lay a second cork lengthwise above the upper lip of the grill’s cooking area. This will rais up the back end of the lid in it’s hinged track such that there is eaven heat across the top of your steak.

Google can suggest many uses for those leftover corks. My personal favorite would be the DIY Laptop Stand, combining multiple vices of which the author is guilty.
