Garlic is extremely easy to chop after first squashing the clove with a large knife, so why buy the anemic bottled or dried stuff?

Only a teaspoon made me break out in hives. Never again. Awful stuff!!!!!!! YMMV, Andy |

I never use "processed" bottled garlic, as in chopped, minced, paste, etc. It is possible to find "just peeled" whole fresh garlic cloves if you live close enough to the source. I will buy those. The whole cloves will last a couple weeks in the fridge. nb |

I also squash the cloves with a can (small tomato sauce can works well)...I don't think I've fiddled with a garlic press for years now nor have I used the bottled mince stuff. The bottled stuff simply doesn't cut it for me... -- Best Greg |

If I don't happen to use it all within a few days it can be frozen to throw into a crockpot soup or stew or something...waste not, want not! I use a lot of garlic, so... The pre - peeled onion thang is kinda wierd, but maybe not *that* wierd when you think about it. How much has been written over the eons about "peeling an onion without crying", etc...there is probably a target market for such a thing. -- Best Greg |

I do mince extra garlic and store it in EVO in a tiny jar-- flavors the oil nicely for later use or when I need some garlic in a real hurry and don't feel like messing with a knife or the press. |

For bulk commissary cookery the default is dehy, nowadays most restaurants use bottled, but for home cooking quantities real live garlic is leagues ahead... doesn't take more than 3-4 minutes to peel and mince a half dozen cloves. Anyone resents spending a few minutes in the kitchen prepping garlic is a phony baloney who doesn't belong at RFC. |

My friends gave me a 30-head braid for Yule this year. Unfortunately while it is the stiff- neck, it is not the kind that only produces 4 cloves per head, so it is somewhat of a pain to peel. It's fun to just reach up and grab a head of garlic off the wall and whack it with a knife<G>. maxine in ri |
