Never had smoked garlic. What temp and for how long do you smoke it? Best usage?
hector_c_toronto OP t1_iugeid4 wrote
In this case, 40 minutes at 225 then 20 at 375. Use it to replace fresh garlic. All of the same flavour but with a Smokey depth that introduces some sweety flavours from caramelization.

What type of wood do you use?
hector_c_toronto OP t1_iuhkwra wrote
Normally cherry or mesquite but for this, I’ve been using Trraeger Special Blend

Can you freeze this and still keep flavor?
hector_c_toronto OP t1_iufe6d7 wrote
100%. It’s a tiny bit drier than fresh garlic but I freeze these then put them in the microwave for 15 seconds to thaw as needed.

Do you use this differently than regular garlic?
hector_c_toronto OP t1_iufncz9 wrote
It’s a little drier than fresh garlic as it’s cooked garlic. But it infuses wonderfully. Think of it like smoked mushy garlic. It’s really strong in flavour. But it depends on how well the smoke penetrates so your mileage may vary.

As a garlic addict with unreliable disability, how long does this keep if frozen & how much do you recommend per batch?
hector_c_toronto OP t1_iugthkv wrote
I usually do batches of a dozen. I don’t know for sure exactly how long it’ll keep, but I’ve gone 3 months on a batch
