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. |

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. -- The post you just read, unless otherwise noted, is strictly my opinion and experience.

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. |

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. Actually, the Zyliss that I have does not even require that I peel the garlic first! :-) -- jmk in NC |

... 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. No idea which ones, if any, sell this kind of stuff in the USA. |

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