Do you cut the root off of your garlic clove or do you not give a shit?
My roommate thought I was being picky for removing it. Am I a dandy or is he a philistine?
>>7740793
I would move out if I was you. The guy's obviously an idiot.
It's course and it's exposed. Leaving it on is dumb.
>>7740793
well normally when I need minced garlic I cut it like pic related and then cut across, stopping just before that part.
so i'unno
>>7740793
It's not a very soft part, why would you leave it on?
If you keep those in why dont you just toss the garlic husk in while you are at it. Hes a mongoloid.
>>7740841
his claim was that he never tasted any difference so he didnt see the point of the extra step which wastes a little bit of the clove. I've eaten his pasta sauce before and didn't notice anything
I usually cba to chop up the garlic unless i'm also cutting other stuff so will just by off the end and snap it in half.
>>7740793
Depends, sometimes the part that holds all of the cloves together can be hard and stuck on. That's the only time I cut that part off though, usually I just leave it.
i cut around 4 to 5 mm so i can plant it again
I don't because they still taste like garlic and will get soft when cooked
I'll cut it off for presentation sake but if its just for a family meal or myself I don't give a shit

>cutting garlic
You cut that bit off SO you can peel it. You don't faff about trying to peel it with it on then debate about whether you should cut it off.
People are getting hungry while you procrastinate, OP.
>>7740986
alton brown would be disappointed.
>>7741008
i cut the root off then smash the clove a little bit to peel it. not so much that it's "crushed garlic" but enough to make the peel come off easily.
just cutting the root off doesn't make it that much easier to peel, at least for me.
i cut the root off then blade crush it remove the skin and dice.
>>7740793
Most people I know chop it off. I dont because I dont care and I havent had a noticeable difference in the dishes i make.
>>7740986
this. a million times this.
fuck mincing garlic
>>7740793
it depends on the garlic. some types have barely any woody bullshit on the bottom compared to others so it's not worth it. usually I do though
>>7741008
/thread
>>7741359
apparantly im doing it wrong because i just squeeze it slightly in my fingers and then the peel comes off

>Am I a dandy or is he a philistine?
Leaving the root on is fine. You're a dandy.
>>7740793
Just because something is edible doesn't mean you should. Shrimp tails and poop chutes, most berries seeds or stems, small fish bones are just some things I thought of
Faggots, the lot of you.
>>7741424
>preferring shit-tier garlic
>>7741424
Disgusting. I hope you really don't cook with that shit.
>>7741424
ew i hope you're kidding
>>7741424
I would honestly rather use garlic powder, I'm not kidding
>>7741465
I would if you whipped that shit out in my kitchen
>>7741465
It is pretty bad tho desu
>>7741473
Why? Give me three good reasons why I shouldn't use it.
>>7741010
Alton Brown is an OCD autistic faggot.
>>7740977
The fuck? Who cuts that off? Just because it's a little dryer than the rest of the clove?
Waste of damn time, get out of my kitchen.
>>7741499
well for one it doesn't taste like garlic to me, very chemically and much more mild
that's it really. If it were worth a damn I wouldn't mind but it doesn't taste good
>>7741368
Yeah, i just give the clove a little twist and the skin pops off pretty cleanly. Going to try cutting the end next time, though.
>>7741369
if you aren't using a "meme press" you are not a real chef. mincing garlic takes too long and it sticks to your fingers.
>>7741368
Then you have the wrong garlic.
>>7740793
I smash the cloves with the side of my blade and discard the husk. Then I chop it up as finely or coarsely as needed and I don't know if that part is left behind because I'm not autistic.
I'd totally get one of those presses that just extrudes garlic, but I just can't justify buying a tool that does one thing when I can just do the ole smash and chop and keep down the clutter.
>>7741026
>Filename
I dont cut garlic I use a pestle and mortar with a pinch of sea salt to help grind it up
>>7741879
how do you peel it then and what do you do with the root you mongoloid
>>7741465
fuck you pond scum shitter
>>7741905
>Do you use salt and a knife?
I use a salt and batter (reeee)
>>7741008
How does cutting off the root make it easier to peel? You still have to crush it.
>>7741424
eugh
>>7743143
Your mom crushed it.
>>7743147
>eugh
How do you pronounce that?
>>7741424
I FUCKING LOVE THE TASTE OF CITRIC ACID. YUM FUCKING YUM.
>>7743168
If I had a nickel every time my uncle said the same thing... (it was actually my aunt but she had a dick so we called her uncle).
>>7741465
Lol what a shit that stuff doesn't even taste like garlic desu and wtf do you do if you want to use whole cloves for something, but more garlic lol?
>>7741507
Truth
>>7741905
>Do you use salt and a knife
This seems like a great tip, thanks anon!
>>7741507
so is everyone else here
>>7743208
Incorrect. I only come here when I'm drinking. That's every few days, which is good. I typically get banned for a day or two but by the time I return, the ban is over. And yes, it is Friday, 8:56 AM and I am three sheets to the wind.
>>7740878
why not keep the whole skin? And add chunks of broken glass and sand in his next meal. It doesn't taste different, too.
>>7743208
We have a lot of autists, OCDS, and faggots.
All three in one is less common, and that's probably why he's quite liked by some here despite being justifiably detested as well
>>7740793
If the dish is for me I leave it, if for someone else I eat it straight away because why not
>>7743270
>justifiably detested
subtle barb
I take it off because it makes removing the rest of the outermost layer (shell? skin? I'm no native speaker) easier
You need to cut it off as that part won't liquidise in the pan.
>>7743758
Oh yes it will. Who are you fooling?
>>7741424
>>7740793
>not leaving the roots on all of your vegetables
>>7743758
that's what liquefied garlic strainers are for, silly
>>7741424
Tastes more like oil than garlic
>>7744670
It's hard to wash romain lettuce without chopping the bottom.
>>7740976
Look at this fatcat over here with access to fertile soil
>>7741424
I like your style, dude
>>7741424
I used to eat this straight from the container when I was a teen because my parents hated mincing garlic and so bought this shit.
Never could tell it was present when they added it to dishes, but it made for a tangy snack.
>>7744684
Nah dude, leave it on and eat it. It add flavour.
>>7740793
anyone use one of these?
i know it's a meme product....but i want it.
>>7744684
speaking off. you know how the stump gets kinda red colored when it's old? is that bad? makes me think of the red mold that my bathtub grows : /

oh like a bread knife, bottle opener, a pressure cooker, can opener (really who uses that to open a beer bottle), rice cooker, stock pot, whisk, asparagus steamer, egg cup, etc
i said i knew it was a meme product.
this whole "unitasker" thing is autistic af.

Wario? On my /ck/?
>>7741714
>anon doesn't love a cluttered kitchen
>>7743237
I know this feel.
>>7741424
I tried this, did not like it.
I then bought pic related for my soup and to braise in side butternut squash in butter.
I'm satisfied wit the results, better texture than that other crap.
Why do people hate minced garlic in a jar so much? Can't tell the difference in a dish anyway.
>>7746321
small mince = added raw/at the end of a dish. jarred garlic doesn't have that spicy flavor.
non spicy/savory garlic is cooked throughout the meal, so no need to be finely minced.
size and flavor of jarred garlic makes no sense.
>>7743237
>tfw drunk every day and on /ck/ every day
At least drunks tend to like food. I realpost AND funpost on this board.
>>7746321
It tastes totally different, to me. It's pretty sweet in flavor compared to raw, which is ok in long cooked dishes but i like mine to give a bite in soup and such
>>7741424
>FAT FREE
But does it have gluten tho
Costco Race reporting in!
I just have a huge bag of peeled frozen garlic. It's great, because if you let it thaw for like 20 seconds it slices really super clean without sticking to everything. I don't remove the root with this, but if I am using fresh garlic, and ther is a woody root I just chuck it into the sink.
My roommate thought I was being picky for removing it.
>>7746043
>>7741879
just put salt and garlic on a cutting board and crush it to paste with pulling the back of your knife over it.
>>7745990
its oxidized iron
>>7740793
its on the end, theres no flavor in it and its just gross
>>7746568
listening to a sperg faggot
>>7747081

>>7746430
>australian garlicposters
stop shitting up this board
>>7743268
Because it would hurt to eat it.
>>7743237
I'm not sure if I was drunk and posted this yesterday, or if this person is just very similar to me.
I wonder how many posts of mine get forgotten, only for me to read it later thinking it's somebody else.
Fuck.
>>7743143
When I cut the root the back part of the peek doesn't cut. So I then tug on the root and it pulls the peel off.
>>7746563
It's bitter so you are correct.
>>7741026
Nice doggo
>>7740825
pro
>>7747114
the smell sticks to your hands anyway
rinse press and put in dishwasher
if you got a cutting board out already it might be easy enough to chop it, but sometimes I just need garlic.
>>7746029
>can opener (really who uses that to open a beer bottle)
I do......
>>7743143
No you dont. I always cut the roots off mine and then once that part is gone the skin can be easily pulled off with just your fingers. No crushing needed.
>>7741507
Three things that grant passive bonuses toward cooking.

Soy sauce butter Pringles?
>>7745998
An oven is an unitasker, it just heats food. How does your meme work now, bitchboy?
Sometimes the smaller cloves can be a bitch to peel, generally I at least attempt to see if the peeling comes off easily before I cut the root end off
