This problem has an easy fix: start with a cold pan.
Instead of hurling your garlic into hot oil, start cooking your garlic and oil in a cold pan.
Turn on the heat, and wait a minute or two.
Or drizzle over broccoli.
Or use to make garlic bread.
Or stirred into mashed potatoes.
Or tossed into pasta.
There is really no shortage of uses for perfectly-cooked garlic.
