Minced garlic! Why bother with garlic cloves when the minced garlic is so cheap ($5.00 for 2 lbs)? For me, any meal that takes more than 10 minutes of prep time is out. Minced garlic saves time. Tonight I'm adding 2 tablespoons of it to my famous herring stew. Ummmmmmm. >Minced garlic! Why bother with garlic cloves when the minced garlic >is so cheap ($5.00 for 2 lbs)?

I like the taste of fresh garlic much, much better. It doesn't take long to peel a few cloves and run them through my Zyliss garlic press. Not that there's anything wrong with using minced to save time... I have, but I prefer the fresh. It's worth the extra minute to me. Cynthia >>Minced garlic!

Actually, the Zyliss that I have does not even require that I peel the garlic first! :-)  Signaturejmk in NC >>>Minced garlic!

One year, I gave a lot of folks I knew Zyliss garlic presses... everyone just loved them! Cynthia > Minced garlic!

There's usually more than just garlic in those tiny jars, I can't think what they must have preserved it in, but the flavour was just....off to me, and I now just put up with the "prep time", in order to get that fresh minced taste.

You might try frozen minced garlic. It's much closer to the fresh one than dried stuff. It doesn't need additives. And frozen stuff was usually *very* fresh to start with, so it's sometimes better than not-so-fresh fresh garlic. Thanks for the advice! I may try the frozen. > > I bought some one day, and to me it just didn't have the taste of the > fresh [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > fresh to start with, so it's sometimes better than not-so-fresh fresh > garlic. >> I bought some one day, and to me it just didn't have the taste of the >fresh [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >fresh to start with, so it's sometimes better than not-so-fresh fresh >garlic. Where do you find the frozen garlic? > Where do you find the frozen garlic? In about every supermarkets here. ;) That's the advantage of living in a country where people actually cook with garlic. :p No idea which ones, if any, sell this kind of stuff in the USA. |
