I have used the bottled stuff in the (distant) past, but it really
doesn't have the same effect, IMO.

Garlic is extremely easy to chop after first squashing the clove with a
large knife, so why buy the anemic bottled or dried stuff? There is also
more than one type of easy to use "garlic press" .

It's been pointed out before in this nag that bottled garlic below olive
oil (even extra virgin :-) can grow outlines toxin.

This has got to be a record for weird choices by a spell checker! It was
supposed to ignore them but changed "ng" to "nag" (maybe not
inappropriately) and "botulinus" to "outline"

I think the pressed garlic is also different. I used to always
use a press. Now, I usually don't. It depends on what I am
trying to achieve.

I never noticed any difference in taste if the cooking methods were the
same tho the press does tend to squeeze out the liquids. Anyway, presses
are a nuisance to clean.

I bought a small jar of minced garlic in oil once. Only a teaspoon made me
break out in hives. Never again.

Awful stuff!!!!!!!

YMMV,

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.

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...

There's just something about minced garlic in a bottle of liquid that
holds no appeal for me. I think I'd have it around for months. I've
used Penzeys dehydrated minced garlic, rehydrated, and have been content
with that in a pinch. I usually mince fresh.

I have fresh for all cooking purposes, and bottled for quick garlic
butter. The bottled stuff goes better when spread on the bread.

My toilets are sparkling clean (I have 2, 1 upstairs, 1 downstairs), but
I don't put flowers in them, or defrost meat in them.


I store food in *food* containers/bowls.

Bottled is passé. Peeled (in a small bag) is de rigeur. Us old farts

I just don't need to pay for someone else to do something for me that I
can do myself in about 4 seconds.
Did you know some stupidmarkets even sell pre-peeled whole red onions?!
I don't get it. Why would I want to pay more for them to peel an onion
and let it start drying out.....?

I don't, also. I've seen pre cored and quarted apples in a bubble pak. I'm
waiting for a pre-peeled banana.

If I'm at the Asian market I always pick up a big tub of pre - peeled garlic
cloves, costs about a buck. 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.

The same folk who buy ready to use bread crumbs, Rice-a-roni, and
their ilk.

Or, if I were cooking for a hundred and needed to save some time, I'd
prob. blow the bucks rather than do all that mincing.

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.

Default Garlic; manually minced or bottled?

I wonder about that. They sell it at the Asian market, and all the
chain and local supermarkets, so someone does. 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>.

Of course it doesn't have the same flavor! The aromatics that are
released when you cut or crush it are ephemeral and do not last long.
