Of Garlic and Lessons Learned...

[Zeedman]

Those dried garlic 'chips' store for years in zip lock bags. They can easily be ground in a blender, for fresh garlic powder on demand. I like to grind them lightly, sift out the powder, and put the larger pieces in a spare pepper mill. Fresh ground garlic is as wonderful as fresh ground black pepper.

Small bags of those garlic chips make great gifts for my adult children (who really appreciate them) and for friends who love to cook.

I posted this elsewhere, but with 5 bulbs I ended up with 1/2 pint's worth of dried garlic. DH said that the Excalibur instructions take you to rubbery, but I was concerned about mold in our Very Wet climate here, so I gave them an extra 8 hours to "break apart" dry, so as to store better.
Any experience with this discrepancy in dehydrator instructions?
