@limhana894 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing this video ! 🎉 I wanna ask, is it okay if after i minced my garlic, store it in a airtight jar, put it straight in my chiller and skip the frozen process? Idk, i've been doing this for almost a year and the garlic always looks good to use for up to 2 - 3 weeks. But idk if it's really safe for our health. Thank youu *Cause i find it really unconvenient if i froze it, like... I need to wait it defrost and it takes so much time. That's why i never froze it 🥲🥲

@Chow-House 6 месяцев назад

You're welcome! I think it's ok to skip the freezing process but I think the freezing process just makes it last longer than 2-3 weeks in my experience. We freeze a lot of minced garlic at one time and just keep it in the freezer until we're ready to thaw and use another container. As always, use your gut and senses to see if something is safe to eat or not.

@patriciaselanno4429 2 года назад

hello :) quick question cause it kind of confusing. So, should I crush it first then put it on the food processor or just put it in the food processor right away after cutting the end(since it will be minced anyway)? {because at 5:06 the knowledge is said when you minced or crush}. Or maybe it means the same thing since allicin is created anyway?

The main factor is the freezing. The most botulism bacteria come from the soil and not air so when you freeze it it becomes sterile. When you open a container and put it in the fridge the other factors you mentioned come into play. I wonder how freezing in oil would compare... though I might just have portions of frozen chopped garlic and only add the oil when it goes into the fridge. Much of the time when you use garlic your cooking it in oil at the beginning of the recipe.

@melvs9514 4 месяца назад

When I was in singapore. The minced garlic there is a bit wet like it has water on it. And the shelf life is also months as long as it is chilled. I wonder if it is also okay to add water or is it just the defrosted particles during the freezing stage.

@Chow-House 4 месяца назад

I believe it's just the defrosted particles from the freezing stage. But it wouldn't hurt to add water. Downside is if you use it for frying you'll have more oil splatter. Our garlic stays good for months in the fridge after being defrosted from the freezer.

@Chow-House Год назад

As far as I know there isn't any research on this specific method. But, with our experience and research we are pretty comfortable with its safety. Here are some links to articles I used for the information in the video. read.qxmd.com/read/30812286/effect-of-garlic-oil-or-onion-oil-on-toxin-production-by-clostridium-botulinum-in-meat-slurry/free-pdf-1 www.canr.msu.edu/news/stinking_facts_about_garlic These botulinum spores found in soil are harmless when there is oxygen present. But when spore-containing garlic is bottled and covered with oil, an oxygen-free environment is created that promotes the germination of the spores and produces a toxin that can occur at 50 degrees Fahrenheit or above. www.cdc.gov/botulism/general.html www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1286457999800033 www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/botulism Allicin from fresh Garlic Nature’s Original Antimicrobial en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diallyl_disulfide garlic safe methods to store preserve and enjoy cheftalk.com/threads/how-long-can-i-store-minced-garlic.64220/

@XtremeChiliPepper Год назад

Making ready-to-use minced garlic ahead of time, and making garlic or other oils are a little bit different. I think that's where the confusion comes in to play. I used this video, and the one below, for making both safely. Research, research, research for the specific use you are doing. This is from OSU Food Specialist.

I buy the 3lb bag of garlic cloves at Costco, Christopher's brand I believe, and run it all through my salad shooter. I end up with a large mixing bowl full of what looks like cole slaw. I dry it very slowly in my dehydrators and then powder it as I need it. I call it Nuclear Garlic because it is about 20 times stronger than store-bought garlic powder without the cellulose to prevent clumping, which is an issue also due to the high oil content. I am getting ready to powder some more and am going to add a bit of cornmeal to it to see if that helps. Any ideas? I will do half of the next bag with the freezing method. Thanks so much.
