Storing and Using Garlic

eliminating the stink of garlic By Mary (Guest Post) I have a renter who is Somalian and loves to use garlic in everything. Myself and others don't mind the smell of cooked garlic, but garlic in the fridge, yuk! Is it better to store it in the cupboard in an open container and use it up real quick, or in a closed container in the fridge? Help or the renter has to move.

This elixir will keep 1 year and even though it doesn't taste good (take a teaspoon of honey behind it), it works GREAT to kill a virus of cold or flu. NOW, THE LEFT OVER CHOPPED GARLIC CAN BE STORED IN THE REFRIGERATOR UNTIL USED. I USE THE CHOPPED GARLIC TO COOK WITH.

I keep mine chopped in a baby food jar, filled with whatever oil I have handy, in the refrigerator, use and replenish as needed. I just use it for cooking, tho.

Contact It seems important to add some kind of acid (example vinegar) to garlic/oil preparations that are going to be kept for a while: http://www.colostate.edu/Orgs/safefood/NEWSLTR/v2n4s08.html Posted on 12/05/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Storing and Using Garlic By Claudia-MD (Guest Post) Botulism? Doubtful. It is caused by an organism known as clostridium botulinum and associated with inadequately processed, home-canned foods. Sausages, meat products, canned vegetables and seafood products have been the most frequent vehicles for human botulism. I have been cutting up garlic into olive oil for quite a while with no problems, although after about 2 weeks the flavor goes off.

Does it last 3 months, 6 months, a year? Without poisoning anyone I mean. Certainly cannot tell by smell!
