  3. WE believe you made that joke. 🤣🤣🤣

    Is there any chance at some point you or the Test Kitchen could set us straight on botulism and garlic in oil (the home version)? I see universities absolutely speaking of the danger but so many other so-called authorities saying it's no big deal. I I've done lots of searches but only end up more confused.

    I tend to err on the side of caution. Botulism seems like a pretty bad idea.

  8. Great Dan, The only garlic form I don't use is dried chunks. I am lucky to be able to get large heads that are not "elephant' garlic. To me elephant is a garlic shaped onion, bland taste. I have zero counter space and any chopping is on my stove. I prefer crushing under a knife then chopping further. A press and paste in a tube, but never a micro plane. Thank you Dan. (shh, you need your own channel).

  23. I put garlic in way too many things. But I love the taste of it. Meat doesn't taste meat without it. Soup tastes bland without it. I even will sprinkle a bit of garlic powder on the outside of a grilled cheese sandwich to improve the taste of the bread. Any savory dish I make has either a tiny bit to enhance the background flavor of what I'm cooking, or I have put garlic in it several times during the cooking process. Can you use too much garlic?

  25. I never use just garlic alone I will also use garlic powder to amp up the garlic flavor. Most of the flavor in garlic in a long cooked dish is going to be lost. I always grate in a clove near the very end of cooking so that you get that fresh garlic flavor.

  31. When I was stationed on a Navy ship, they used hot dog buns as the bread when making garlic bread. It was really good.
    In a pinch, that what I still use. I'm going to try your method next time I make garlic bread.

    Love your video. I'm going to tell my identical twin brother about you. He almost became a chef. He switched to the computer field (programmer). He know more about cooking than I do Just like me, I retired as a device driver guy for windows; fancy name for a programmer.
