There's nothing wrong with garlic powder
>>7480021
I disagree. It's far less useful/flexible than raw garlic is.
Raw garlic has a variety of flavors depending on how you cook it. Raw it has a strong bite. Cook it a little and it's more mellow, a lot like the powder. Roast it and it has a totally different flavor. You don't get that flexibility with powder. Raw garlic is cheap and keeps for ages so what's the problem with using it?
>>7480012
>actually real
Did you not think that garlic powder existed?
I have never used garlic powder.
I always use garlic cloves.
What's the meme?
>>7480012
Ranch dressing on pizza is actually a thing nowadays, and not just a regional quirk from the Midwest.
Chicken Alfredo pasta is a popular dish, and not just an abomination from the Olive Garden.
There are actually folks who eat frozen pizza enough to have a preference 0of one brand over another.
There are people who think anyone who doesn't like fast/junk food must be lying, because that stuff is "scientifically designed" to taste good.
People do get very defensive when the topic of vegans comes up.

it disperses pretty well
so if i want to make a quick tuna salad, a dash of this adds much better than crushing a single close and trying to just spread a small amount
I put onion powder in my ramen broth.

>>7480012
If I making a sandwich for a few people I'll use onion and garlic powder (and a lot of other stuff) in my mayonnaise to make it tangy. Because it'll turn a 5/0 into 7/10 real quick
Garlic powder has its place. Suppose I'm making fried chicken, how am I going to add -garlic to that? It won't mix in with the flour/spice mixture.
>>7480048
Depends on the usage, real garlic will always be better but that only matters when your time is worthless. Powdered is perfectly fine in a lot of cases.
>>7480126
The most popular local chain of pizza in Richmond and VA Beach came with Chanelo's sauce and always has since it existed. Its not exactly ranch but its the closest and that chain has been around for my entire life. Ranch and pizza is not a new regional thing
garlic powder is made in china. you are going to die eating that stuff.
>>7482031
Lots of things are made in China.
Lots of the same things aren't.

You're right. I should put chunks of raw garlic in the flour of the things I fry. Moron

Although you do have a point, learn to shop better.
Garlic bread is my poorfag solution to garlic bread, just toast a couple slices, slap some butter one and sprinkle some garlic
Raw garlic just doesn't work as well but this is seriously the only situation powder is better.
>>7483637
Yeah the powder is ok for garlic bread, I grant you. But I wouldn't say better. Use a garlic press and press some garlic into a few tablespoons of room temp butter, mix well, spread on bread. Broil. Fug, so guud.
>>7480048
Garlic powder works better in baking. In the sense that it works at all.
>>7483637
Raw garlic works much better for garlic bread, it just takes a little more effort. Smash a few cloves and saute them in butter. Then spread the resulting butter on the bread and toast it under the broiler.
hey guys
>>7480012
Hello, retards. Get some fresh garlic, chop off the top, wrap it in foil, drench it in olive oil, seal the top, stick it in the oven @ 400F for 45 minutes, let it cool...
Unwrap it and rub it on some decent bread. VOILA, GARLIC BREAD. Baking the garlic turns it into a nice toothpaste-like goo which spreads great.
Garlic powder? Spare me.
>>7483735
If you like the taste of baked garlic. To me it's only marginally better than burned garlic, which is about as bad as garlic powder.
If you want garlic bread melt a little butter, throw in some finely chopped garlic and parsley, then pout that over some bread. Quickly heat the bread under the broiler until warm but nor burnt. Done.
>>7480012
rice cookers, pic related.
it's actually pretty hard to think of anything as useless as these, excluding stuff like "olivespoon" or something like that

Flouring stuff, sprinkled ontop pizza, dry herb rub. Fact is it gives off a different garlic flavor, I use both garlic and garlic powder in my soups depending. It's lazy and lack of creativity to not experiment with food and come to the conclusion good garlic powder adds a different garlic flavor than whole or sautéed. Garlic has a wide range depending how it's prepared.
>>7480012
If this guy uses garlic powder I think no respecting human bean should
>>7483943
>Flouring stuff
Laziness. There are better ways of adding garlic flavor to the food such as marinading the food with garlic before breading it, or using the garlic in a sauce applied later. Adding it to the breading gives you very little garlic flavor but it does a great job of saturating your oil with garlic taste, which you may or may not want for future fryings.
>>sprinkled ontop pizza, dry herb rub.
You can do the either with crushed raw garlic, and that tastes fucking amazing when you're baking your pizza since part of it says somewhat raw for bite yet the top parts of the garlic brown under the heat from the oven.
>>Fact is it gives off a different garlic flavor
Yeah, a boring washed-out oxidized flavor.
>>It's lazy and lack of creativity to not experiment with food
I agree 100%. Once I started experimenting with using raw garlic instead of garlic powder I have never looked back.

So you're going to marinate then flour, oh ok, and reusing oil, please. Garlic chunks on a dry rub, you miss the point of dry rub. You can use both crushed or whatever garlic on pizza and powdered, gives it a more complete garlic taste.
Thanks for proving my suspicion.

it's pretty fucking easy. if you want to argue for powdered over fresh at least talk about shelf life or expense or something that makes sense.
People actually willingly consume literal drugs like sugar despite knowing that they completely destroy your body from the inside
>>7484219
If dicing up a clove of garlic is a huge inconvenience to you I'd hate to taste your "cooking".
>>7484219
Yes you lazy ignorant fuck, it's so fucking easy to take time out of your BUSY day of not giving a fuck about what you are putting into your body to TURN THE CORNER AND SOMEHOW MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF with GOD DAMN FRESH INGREDIENTS.
That being said, it's likely your god damn filthy plebeian pizza was out of a box and fucking frozen.

Rice is a dinner staple at my house, so its very useful to have a cooker when I already am using my range for two other things. Plus I don't have to babysit it and it has a "keep warm" function.
I didn't pay much for it, but it also works as a steamer but I never use that function.
>>7484284
Rice only occupies the stove for about five minutes. Then you remove it and allow it to finish cooking in the water.
>>7484247
Ok time to clarify I meant on A pizza you had ordered that would suck you finally get back home with your fresh pizza and instead of just sprinkling some garlic salt on the top you dice a clove of garlic for each slice and spread it by hand.
I make all sorts of soups that use a large amount of garlic
>>7484288
Thats still one more dish for me to fuss with and clean. Stop being a tryhard faggot. Asians all use ricecookers because they are fool proof and you get better results because they cook slower. Stove rice ALWAYS has stuck bottoms and the moisture content can vary based on more variables.
You sound as bad as the toaster people.
>>7484288
>Rice only occupies the stove for about five minutes.
I don't know what kind of rice you're making, but everything I've bought in the past few years has needed to be left on a burner to simmer or else it ends up fucked
>>7480048
How do you coat a steak in raw garlic?
Also garlic powder has a taste different then raw garlic, there are times when I use both.
>>7483690
This! Garlic bread is literally the only thing I'd never consider using power over raw for. Although mixing your butter with olive oil is ideal.
>>7484298
>Stove rice ALWAYS has stuck bottoms
Heat's too high or you left it on too long. Rice is one of those things you don't time - every pot is going to be a different time.
Rice comes off the stove based on look and smell and it's not a hard thing to learn.
>>7480012
why did you think garlic powder was a meme? garlic powder and onion powder are keystone seasonings that can be the base of so many different flavors
>>7484532
>How do you coat a steak in raw garlic?
I always finish a steak in a hot pan with butter, thyme and a clove or two of garlic.
>>7484953
>a clove or two of garlic.
That's not nearly enough garlic.
Although I'm kind of a garlic nut. It's my favorite food. I could eat it raw, and I sometimes do while I'm cooking. I eat 1-3 heads a week and buy my garlic powder by the gallon.
>>7484288
>rice only occupies the stove for about five minutes

Speak for yourself.

>>7484294
Shouldn't you just ask for diced garlic on that pizza if you are ordering out?
>>7483883
The only people that think the that you can get the best of any kind of produce in the US are people who have never traveled outside the US. The stuff we import in usually sucks but the stuff we grow ourselves is no longer grown for flavor.
>>7484532
I "always" make a little cut in my steak and put half a clove of garlic in there. Great for making a steak florentine, too. Damn I love olive oil.
>>7484570
Ha, well memed my friend.
There's no such thing as onion powder.
>>7485605
Rice cooker rice (from a proper one costing atleast 100 bucks with a locking lid) comes out better tasting than the pot, every single time, without any kind of effort on the part of the person cooking it.
>>7480126
>There are actually folks who eat frozen pizza enough to have a preference 0of one brand over another.
That means:
1. Most frozen pizza is complete shit, and there is exceptions
2. Or there exists frozen pizza thats good
>>7483831
Toasters made complete sense in a pre freezer society
In a post freezer society, they don't make sense.
Garlic powder being better for garlic bread really depends on the type of garlic bread you are making. I tend to make 6 main types
Standard: Just normal plain white bread, toasted with olive oil and garlic powder spread over it
Chunky: Usually, a baguette cut into slices with each slice having a clove of garlic placed into the middle then baked in the oven
Baguette Standard: Mix of the above two, baguette in slices but with olive oil and garlic powder spread
Snarl-ic bread: THICK slices of white bread with holes pierced in, filled with the skin from garlic cloves and with a garlic butter spread. the skin 'pops' and 'sizzles' and makes a snarling sound hence the name
Whole Loaf: One standard size loaf of white bread, unsliced, with garlic butter and powder spread over the sides, like icing on a cake
Cupcake: White bread shoved into a cupcake tray and decorated with garlic powder.
>>7485759
>Toasters don't make sense
Please elaborate, genuinely curious
>>7485787
Toasters do the exact same thing as rice cookers. They make something that is relatively simple to make but requires exact timing and makes it fool proof while improving the results. You can easily make toast using a broiler, but you have to constantly watch it flip it at the exact moment and then repeat the process over except with a less known amount of time. Not so bad if you're just making garlic bread once a month or so. Complete pain in the ass if you're having toast literally every morning. Rice cookers are similar except the good ones actually make rice better than a pot because they lock the steam in and let it out in a controlled way and can keep it warm for usually an entire day.
Pretty much all the people that argue against rice cookers have toasters on their counters.
>>7485820
Yuropoor here. So a broiler is the same as a toaster oven, right? We don't really have those, but I used to have a "manual" toaster, that only had an on/off switch, and grilled from above. It was a fucking disaster every other time I made toast, because I'm a fucking idiot and always forgot about it, until the whole house was full of smoke.
As for garlic powder, I tried it, but I really didn't feel any taste at all. I don't dice garlic, I grate it with a cheese grater. It's fast, and makes way smaller a mess than a garlic press. If I want garlic toast, I make toast and just rub a clove on the surface of the bread before buttering.
>>7485859
Garlic powder is to garlic as paprika is to peppers. The thing is people tend to use garlic powder as a replacement for garlic and not the spice it is. For the record, I use both depending on the situation.
>>7485748
There is no magic in a rice cooker that makes better rice.
>>7485759
>Toasters made complete sense in a pre freezer society
>In a post freezer society, they don't make sense.
Isn't it the opposite? I mean, aren't toasters just a way to brown frozen beagles without warming the oven up?
>>7486577
No, just a computer that constantly monitors a bunch of factors and makes adjustments to the cooking process in real time.

I use garlic powder when I make spice blends, locally made granulated garlic that I know is fresh as fuck when it's going to stand out, and fresh garlic for 90% of everything else.
Dry ingredients are only worse by default if you're buying shitty ingredients to begin with. If someone is producing a quality ingredient and you can't find a use for it that's your own fault.
>>7485742
Keep spouting nonsense, you haven't tried California garlic and have no idea what you're talking about. It's the chinese crap that has way less flavor than US grown garlic, enjoy the nutty flavor Chinese garlic has, it's just a little shit left over.

I'm really curious to hear how you cook rice in 5 minutes, and if you started a completely new thread demonstrating your technique I'm positive that virtually everyone on /ck/ would be interested in hearing how you do it too.
You thought garlic powder wasn't "real"? Haha, fucking retard. Anyway, its shit and I'm nearly laughing my ass off at the replies to >>7480048

Its shit. Its utter shit. Use fresh garlic. Always.

I guess if you're cooking garbage Uncle Bens it doesnt matter, but cooking rice pretty much is a science if you want it to be any good
>>7488014
Most shit that is science can be done by feel with enough experience. Cooking rice require very little if you have someone who knows how to do it show you once.

Two completely different things with completely different culinary uses. If you actually cooked, you'd know this.

Did you even bother to read the post you just replied to? He clearly likes garlic and was pointing out the different ways in which it can be enjoyed.

You're the one who comes off sounding like the picky eater.
pro tip: powder is better for mixing into meats, breads, rubs, and batters. fresh is better for eating plain, adding to dips and sauces, adding to foods after they've been cooked, and giving you the farts. one time i roasted a big-ass pan of garlic in olive oil, and ate about 25 cloves with a cholula-lemon juice combo. had mad gas the rest of the day, but since it smelled like garlic, everyone assumed it was just my breath. only after i left the bathroom from shitting (it reeked of garlic) did anyone know that i was providing them with fresh steamy air biscuits all day. each has its own uses.

>. I have the sensation of taste
Apparently not, since you seem to think that cooking garlic results in only one flavor. If you actually could taste anything you'd surely realize that it's flavor depends on how long it was cooked and by what method.
>>7489923
>of course I'm a picky eater
You're a picky eater because, unlike the other anon who was describing how using it cooked different ways produces different flavors that are good for different things, you seemed to insist that the only good way to eat garlic is raw.
>>7489923
having the ability to taste food doesnt automatically make you a picky eater, dipshit. sometimes i enjoy canned chicken noodle soup, sometimes i enjoy filet mignon (cooked blue, obviously). fancy expensive refined food is good, and cheap shitty food can also be good. lrn2b8 kid.
