How long does the garlic last inside vs. leaving it out?

I don't know that there would be any one answer to that question, as several factors would play into that conclusion such as the type of garlic, quality and freshness to begin with. Experts say that garlic should be stored in a cool, dark place with air circulation; the garlic keeper helps to provide that (assuming that the kitchen/room itself is kept cool). An additional factor may be that most supermarket garlic purchased has been irradiated to keep it from spouting, in other words, it is already dead, not a living bulb.

I keep mine in the refrigerator, and have had garlic in it for 3 weeks and it is still fine.

at least twice as long. If you're planning to keep for a LONG time use green bags

I've had garlic bulbs in the jar for a month and a half accidentally (I totally forgot) and went to crack the bulb open and they were perfectly fine. Not dried out nor spoiled. I love it

I have left it plugged in for more than 3 hours cooking a can of chili. It started to dry out a little on the top where the chili touched the pan. It made it a little harder to clean but the food was fine.

Just went down stairs to try it and it turns into paste, I haven't seen one that would shred, you might try freezing garlic a little first.

It really depends on the size. I've done 4 or 5 smaller or 2 bigger cloves at a time. I usually only to 2 or three at a time just because it's easier to rotate. It chops so fast you don't have to worry about it taking long to chop a bunch of garlic. If I have help breaking up the head and taking the peel off, I can do one or two heads in just a few minutes. Btw, I recommend getting a silicone sleeve garlic peel remover as well.

It can be left out safely for 2-3 hours but used promptly after. Since it is in a powder there is no real reason to resonstitue it and not use it. I personally only reconstitute it when I need it so I don't have a waste issue. I hope this helps.

When I use it I peel the garlic first. I don't see how you could not peel it if you don't want to eat the peel... :-)

I put ours in, but I don't leave it too long otherwise it seems too hard. I usually put it in for about a half hour.

You could leave it in depending on how much grilling space you want to use. If you're not grilling much then no problem, but if you have a large family or group to cook for then you would probably want to take it out (referring to direct grilling). It only takes a few seconds to pop in and out so it isn't a big deal.

Yes. I use it all the time that way. Does it cleanly extract all the garlic? No. But it quick and easy. Prob. 80% expelled. Definitely beats peeling and cutting for most stir frys. I end up using garlic more often now when cooking. Hope this helps.

I never see any shelf life on any of my spices. So my answer would be if you have it longer then a year throw it out. You could call the companythe number in on the container.Mine don't last a year so I just would go by that.

It dries garlic very well but it does take a long time. Just make sure the cloves are fairly uniform in size and all are sliced lengthwise. Otherwise, it will take much longer to dehydrate. Got to have an "exit wound" for the moisture to escape.

we keep it room temperature, just storing in the bag, in the pantry. Never had any issues. the bags last us around 2 months, with all 4 of us eating them.

If you leave it there too long, say for a few days as I have done a LOT because I eat out a LOT too, the top rice will become hard but not spoil. The bottom portion will still be edible but will lose its flavor. For small amount it just dries up.

You'll get better results if you leave it in for 4 to 5 hours. It's a long time but definitely worth it

The instructions recommend two hours, but I have found my sinuses get a little irritated shortly after two hours. I have one room with a lot of clutter that I have ran the machine in several times and two hours wait was more than plenty. So the size, contents and how well insulated the room is makes a difference. I run the machine using the 45 minute timer.

I leave mine at room temperature and have not had a problem. I do keep my house cool though. If it was hot, I would put the ghee in the refrigerator just to be safe.

I just soak it in an oxiclean solution and ring it out a few times....i think it lasts longer ..
