Buy jarred diced garlic. You're not going to use it every time but it lasts a long time in the fridge and sometimes I just can't be fucked to smash and dice my own, especially when it's going into a dish where garlic isn't in the forefront
Jace Wood
use lawry's seasoned salt instead of normal salt when making burgers n shit

Gatlics are a dollar at the most far out of places, friend. Very easy to crush. I don't deal with it but I use garlic powder rarely. A dollar. Many nights of use. Takes extremely well to cloning. Repels medical professionals that take three vials of blood when they only need one.
Leo Diaz
I already do user...however I use it in just about everything, so I splurge and get the 1kg jar for $6... I even use it on my corn flakes in the morning...
Cameron Stewart
Not OP, but I picked up the exact jar in OP's image because it was on sale.
The jar is less than $2 normally. It already comes in oil so you don't even need that. This jar will last you a month or two of daily cooking, unless you're using way too much of it.
It's a rare situation where this is both cheaper and more convenient.

Jarred garlic tastes bad. It's the equivalent of reconstituted pasteurized lemon juice.Use fresh or don't use it at all. /thread
Ian Carter
do you ever use garlic powder? If so, shut up.
John Miller
How long would you say it lasts? In terms of expiration, and/or in terms of how much you use
Bentley Martin
the jar I bought a month ago has an expiration date of april 19 2018, granted that's probably for a sealed container but I'd be surprised if it went bad within the next few months
Nathaniel Thomas
That shit sucks too.
Carter Carter
do you use it? Or do you only ever self-prep whole cloves of garlic when you want a garlic flavor contribution to your dish?
James Wilson
Here's one I wish I'd thought of earlier: it is stupid easy to make a homemade version of these. Just take an equivalent amount of regular raw pasta and water/milk (like 4 oz and 2 cups) and boil it with some butter and spices, it cooks down into its own sauce
Eli Thompson
Never. Doesn't really matter though, if it works for you then good on ya. But I'm curious: what dishes do you use it for and do you think it works just as well or simply well enough?
Isaiah Ward
I feel like anything I'd have to say most people would already know.
If it feels like it's missing something, it's almost always salt. Sharpen your knives You can cut the sugar in half for almost anything that isn't a dessert and not taste a difference. Use ground turkey for taco meat to make it healthier. That's about all it's good for though, tastes nasty on its own. Clean flat-top stoves while they're still warm. The burnt on stuff comes off more easily. Nothing tastes better just because it's more expensive - find a cheap grocery store. Never make fudge yourself if you don't want to feel like a fat fuck.
Carter Davis
>Never make fudge yourself if you don't want to feel like a fat fuck. Oops.
I felt more like a frickin' wizard, anyway. That was my first time cooking sugar and fiercely boiling sugar at hundreds of degrees is fun.
Michael Powell
so I buy big packs of chicken thigh, debone them, cut the meat into strips, then put them into ziploc sandwich bags in single serving portions. I take one out of the freezer, leave it under a stream of warm water until it's thawed, then I pour some soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, red chili flake, and a scoop of jar minced garlic into the bag. I mix it up, let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes or so, then I throw it in a scorching hot pan. This was a meal I threw together with little time and even less effort, the jar garlic did what it needed to do for the loose constraints provided it

The fuck are you on about crazyanon
Gavin Phillips
why not crushed, has more for less
Hudson Cook
Yep. Those are the shit
Matthew Jenkins
calling /thread on your own, leave pls
Brayden Lewis
why do people pretend using real fresh garlic requires some assload of prep
when you get a head of garlic, get out the gloves and put them in a snack bag in the freezer. when you want garlic in something, take some out and use a cheese grater
Julian Peterson
top heh
Owen Ramirez
>not planting a few cloves of Garlic and getting 10x the amount in return
Camden Rogers
Just buy a garlic press. It's way easier than dicing, and much quicker. If you really hate taking time away from sucking daddy's dickie, then just buy the pre-peeled as well.
Samuel Howard
>Repels medical professionals that take three vials of blood when they only need one. We're saving you a second needle when the lab inevitably fucks up, friendo.
Carter Bailey
Garlic is really difficult, so I don't use it.
Colton Edwards
Don't buy that crap.
Just put a large batch of garlic in a food processor, or chop a large batch with a knife. Then put it in a zip-loc ag and store it in the freezer.
Now you can add garlic to whatever you want, effortlessly.
Matthew Price
ziploc bag I mean
Zachary Cox
garlic in a jar is only good for adding background garlic flavor and is barely better than garlic powder. if youre using large amounts of garlic go with the fresh stuff. doesn't taste like briney crap like the stuff in jars does.
Landon Sanders
pre-minced garlic smells disgusting. it retains none of the properties that people are using garlic for

You need to step up your game, senpai.
If you can't use fresh garlic, garlic powder, and jarred garlic in their correct applications, then you only have yourself to blame.
