because it's unironically better in every ways.

>>20358669
you are 100% wrong but ok.

>>20358664
I use a little manual food processor and chuck pre-packaged garlic cloves in there with a sprinkle of salt and let it do its thing. So much better

>>20358746
Look sweaty, either prove me wrong using arguments or take a hike, okay? Like, gosh, ohmygod...

>cooklets are filtered by whacking a garlic clove with the side of a knife and peeling it

>because it's unironically better in every ways
>arguments
Nta, but what can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof

>>20358975
okay tryhard, I'll start. Argument numba one; Convenience.

>>20358980
then say it's better in terms of convenience. in quality and taste it's objectively worse.

>>20358664
I don't use garlic that often, so its better to have this that last a long time rather than buying fresh garlic and then not using half of it

>>20358750
You bought a slap chop. Don't be ashamed. Embrace it.

>>20358993
GARLIC LASTS FOR MONTHS

>>20358995
Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life!

>>20359010
well, I didn't know that

>>20358991
It's not tho, the one I buy is better than the "fresh" Chinese bulbs they sell around here. It's not even fair to be honest. If I can get actual freshly grown bulbs, I can't notice any difference, not in the final dish at least.

>>20359010
No it fucking doesn't, one week and the little faggots have started sprouting branches and leaves.

>>20359070
that only happens when you plant your garlic which, spoilers, makes infinity free garlic for you

>>20359073
Shut the fuck up retard, it happens when the garlic sits on your counter with no soil or water whatsoever. I don't need a garlic farm, I need garlic to eat when it's time to cook.

>>20359078
>it happens when the garlic sits on your counter
put it in the fridge, dumbass.

>>20358995
you're gonna love my nuts

>>20359015
yeah it lasts for awhile. be aware it will start sprouting though so you'll have to cut that off.

>>20359084
it still sprouts in the fridge

>>20359137
>it still sprouts in the fridge
false.

>>20359178
i've had it happen multiple times, but ok.

>>20359190
it literally does not happen. not in a week, not ever.

>>20359178
i mean, it can because garlic is a winter crop, but whatever. i just keep it at room temp out of any direct light, and it usually lasts a month or two.

>>20358664
I like that they have garlic paste in tubes
these days I'll only buy fresh if I want roasted garlic

>"this shit is awful"
Retard

Cheap, convenient, fast, keeps your hands from smelling like garlic. REEEE all you want but you spergs aren’t Michelin chefs and 99% of the time it doesn’t slightly matter and no one begins to care if dumped some of this into a pan instead of spending however long fucking with chopping garlic clove. Feel free to cope and lash out, I’m not saying it’s superior or ideal optimum anything, I’m just saying it makes sense.

>>20358951
How do you get the thinnest layer of paper off the individual clothes without bruising them then smart guy

my grocery store sells a thing of prepeeled garlic cloves, i just keep it in the freezer. it's not as potent as fresh but it's easy enough to just add more and the ice crystals make it easy to mush into paste.

>>20360349
garlic paste in a tube is the superior product and is in fact even more convenient because you can squeeze it straight out instead of using a spoon

>>20358669
?? how

>>20360391
I’ll look into it

>>20358669
Preserved garlic can harbor botulism so they have to pasteurize it, acidify it and/or salt it heavily. It ruins the flavor. It comes out like soggy onion.

Freshly chopped garlic has a very different flavor, once you chop the garlic the living cells start releasing allicin and other sulfur compounds, which you want in their original form, not decayed into something else. A garlic rub into meat or garlic infused oil for frying isn't bad, but if you overcook it it goes bitter. I usually add mine fresh as a dish cools.

>>20360414
>fresh garlic tastes like sulfur
not really a flavor i'm looking to impart into my food there bub

>>20358750
This is what I use the chinese cleaver for, it's the original slap chop.
