That stuff is _nasty_ and it's not what I use!

These are pre-peeled whole cloves. I was buying them from the oriental
market at first but they spoiled too quickly.

Sun Harvest is selling them in 4 oz. containers in a clear plastic
produce cartons.

They are irradiated, not preserved in oil. They look like what you get
if you peel a fresh clove yourself.

Really? That's odd.

I like roasted garlic but I've also deep fried fresh whole peeled garlic
cloves and got the same effect and it only took about 1 minute for a
small handful of them.

Roasting them takes too long. Can't afford the electricity.

I put them in the 'frige and used them over about 2 weeks.

Garlic powder has it's uses, but it's not the same as fresh.

No way, no how.

I do use it on fried chicken still......
