Hi u 2 😍 💜 + ❤ 🌷 🌹 🍀🍃🌻
Indian food without calling 911 😂🥵🥴
Awesome as usual❤ 💜 🌾🌿🍀🍃🌻
Just added frozen garlic cubes to my grocery list!!!!!
I store peeled cloves in white vinegar in the fridge. It keeps forever Just rinse it off and use it just like fresh. Since it’s not heated it doesn’t taste like pickled garlic. I’ve used this method for years.
Came across Dorot frozen garlic a couple of years ago in the frozen vegetable aisle in H-E-B. Excellent product! I’ve also had equal success with their frozen ginger and frozen basil.
I'll try that Dorot Gandens product, thanks!
Bring back "I'll see YOU later".
Yea I
Yea I

Lol
Question: can I freeze the peeled garlic without losing the fresh flavor?
This is an inane video. There are no good substitutes for fresh garlic. Fresh garlic (and onions) are necessary for cooking myriad dishes. The key is this: learn how to peel and chop quickly. One day soon I look forward to seeing a small kitchen appliance (a robot) that can peel and chop garlic and onions available as a consumer product.
I used chopped garlic that I but in a squeeze bottle. Works perfectly fine for me.
Excellent. Thank you.
Dorot minced onion is fantastic although it is very hard to find
Jacks segments are honestly my favorite from ATK. He needs his own cooking channel, I would watch the heck out of that!
Excellent! Thanks ❤️
Thank you! I love all of your videos!
I tried the garlic jar and it was horrible, had to throw it out. I'll absolutely look for the frozen which I've never heard about. Thanks ATK for the tips!!
man, I REALLY want one of them Misono UX-10 knives. Had my eye on them for some time and haven't shook the urge yet lol
💕
One glaring omission– infused garlic oil. A drizzle of garlic oil on food before serving can add a lot of flavor and none of the side effects later on.
Have you tried the Freeze Dried garlic by Lighthouse??
Good information, I had never heard or looked for frozen garlic I had no idea that it existed.
and missing is the dif between hardneck and softneck but more important is buy north american garlic not the stuff from china grown in human waste, better still plant your own it grows like a weed with little care and if you have roses or any crops that are bothered by aphids or bugs plant it in between it keeps them away
So interesting to see this video and find at the end the dorot garlic product. My mother had been using it for years and I only just found out about it about a year and a half ago while visiting her and my father.
This was great!!!!! Thanks! Hope I can find it!
When you crush the garlic…it will form allicin….which is like a two part epoxy….I believe….who’s better than us, Vinny?
no
What about freeze-dried garlic?
No aroma and no flavor? You need a covid test, Jack…. LOL!
Just freeze garlic cloves and put it in the blender with other ingredients when you need to cook with it
That Dorot stuff works great, but I haven't seen any in my grocery since Covid. The supply chain still has a way to go yet.
I love this guy.
Thanks! Very helpful to me
Oh oh allicin, My paste aint true
I am always happy to see Jack’s segments pop up in my feed.
I flash freeze my own Garlic , scallions , and Basil, Parsley and of course onions . Makes my cooking go a lot faster.
Please do red wine vinegar. You've done white, why not red? Do you have something against red? Do you have a some sort of bias against vinegars of color? Are you a vinegarist? lol
i buy fresh garlic and store it in the freezer. when needed, microwave 30 seconds and mince. the dried and jarred garlic are just awful.
I use and love Spice World organic squeeze garlic. It has good garlic flavor and is easy to use. It is found in the spices section in grocery store. Refrigerate after opening. Lasts a long time in the refrigerator with no loss of flavor.
Great video!
Powdered garlic still has its place in my kitchen. Especially when you use the trick to "activate" it with a small amount of water, and "deactivate" it with heat.
I buy large bunches of garlic when they are fresh at the farmers' market and spend an afternoon peeling all the cloves. Then I freeze the majority in zip freezer bags and also fill a couple of jars with peeled cloves and white vinegar and keep them in the fridge. As long as the cloves are submerged in the vinegar, they will last at least 6 months, if not longer, and they will not absorb any vinegar flavour. When I need a few cloves, I remove what I need and put the jar back in the freezer. These cloves are easy to chop or crush or grate on a microplane depending on what I need them for.
When I am making a dish that calls for whole cloves, I take a few out of the freezer bag and toss them in frozen. They thaw almost instantly in a soup or stew or sauce. Either method is vastly superior to prepackaged frozen or jarred product from the store, not to mention a hell of a lot more economical.
As usual, BRILLIANT and USEFUL information for me!! Thank you so much. Salute.😀😀😍😍
I really like these little instructional videos…great information and I feel like it’s reliable because it’s part of Cook’s programs. Thank you!
I’ve never even thought about alternatives for fresh garlic! Even though I’ll stick with fresh garlic most of the time, I appreciate knowing the options out there. Thanks!
Thank you for the info. I had no idea there were frozen garlic cubes. I'll be on the lookout for them.
Will try. Thanks
