Windows Command Prompt :echo a variable without double quotes

How can i echo a variable in Windows Command Prompt without the double quotes? I want to use a One-Liner in terminal and no batch script. something like :

set myvar="somevalue"

and now i want to 

echo %myvar%

and get

somevalue instead of "somevalue". Is this possible at all?

echo %myvar:"=% 


echo %myvar:~1,-1%

The first way substitutes all occurrences of the string following the : with the string following the =

The second way selects the substring from "character 1" (batch counts the first character as "character 0") to the first-before-the-end.

see set /? from the prompt for documentation. The examples use path but can be applied to any ordinary environment variable.
