I just saw this "short" on YouTube. This looks like a good way to package garlic for freezing.
And you can have a good idea of how much each square is.Makes it easier to snap off a piece.
I always use a lot of garlic, so my snips/snaps are bigger.And you can have a good idea of how much each square is.
Thanks taxy - seems like a neat idea.
It was the creasing that I thought was particularly clever. I knew about freezing it flat in a plastic bag. I just didn't really like the idea of "breaking off" a piece that would be a random size.
I never tried creasing the bags. I'll have to give it a try. I usually process our garlic after we do the planting in october sometime.
"tapered mason jars"?I make a bunch of garlic and ginger paste, for all that Indian and Chinese food I make, and freeze it in tapered mason jars. It thaws quickly enough - in just a few minutes on the counter - that I can gouge out however much I want, and then put it back in the freezer. And no garlic aroma will exit the glass containers.
Since you don't do the creasing, how do you get the frozen garlic out? Does it break off easily, even without creasing into portions?It was the creasing that I thought was particularly clever.

Yeah, that's why I don't freeze garlic in plastic bags. This post shows what I use:Since you don't do the creasing, how do you get the frozen garlic out? Does it break off easily, even without creasing into portions?Rh
I just dump the cloves in a ziplock and into the freezer.I just saw this "short" on YouTube. This looks like a good way to package garlic for freezing.
