Garlic is one of the essential ingredients in cooking. However, peeling garlic can be time-consuming, so some housewives choose pre-peeled garlic to use anytime.
Therefore, proper storage of pre-peeled garlic is a matter of special concern for housewives.
Below are 4 ways to properly store pre-peeled garlic, which are both fresh and simple, and do not take up too much time for housewives.
Freezing garlic
Freezing garlic is a popular method and is now chosen by many housewives because of its convenience and relatively high efficiency. Accordingly, all that needs to be done is for housewives to prepare that is a ice tray (should use a silicone ice tray for easy removal), food wrap or aluminum foil.
Peel and crush the garlic, then put the crushed garlic into each compartment of the ice tray, wrap the ice tray tightly with food wrap to avoid odor in the refrigerator. Put the garlic tray in the freezer and whenever you need to use it, just take out the frozen garlic cloves, wait for the ice to thaw and you can use it for cooking.
Soaking garlic in vinegar
Not only does it preserve garlic longer, but soaking garlic also makes it tastier. You just need to peel the garlic, wash it, drain it, and put it in a glass jar, pouring garlic with a mixture of vinegar, sugar, chili, and dissolved salt.
After about 10 days, you will have pickled garlic. Pickled garlic can be kept in the refrigerator and you can use it gradually.
Soaking garlic in oil
You peel each garlic clove and put it in a glass jar or food container. Then, pour cooking oil to completely cover the garlic and close the lid tightly, then put it in the freezer. This method not only effectively preserves garlic but also very convenient for cooking.
Soaking in alcohol
Another method to store pre-peeled garlic that is quite good but not well-known is soaking it in alcohol. Accordingly, to help store pre-peeled garlic for a long time, housewives can try putting it in a large jar and soaking it in white wine.
If there is no white wine, it can be replaced with vinegar and then tightly sealed, put in the refrigerator. With this storage method, pre-peeled garlic can be used for 1 to 3 months.
