Equipment

  • Slow Cooker or Rice Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 5 to 8 Bulbs Garlic (whole unpeeled) (or use as many as you want)

Instructions
 

  • Collect the ingredients you need.
  • Clean the garlic bulbs by gently scrubbing them with a rough, clean sponge.
  • Don't remove cloves or wet the bulbs; this keeps aging intact.
  • Make sure your slow cooker or rice cooker is in a warm setting.
  • Place scrubbed, unpeeled garlic bulbs into the cooker, leaving space.
  • Let bulbs age on "warm" until cloves turn soft and black (2 to 3 weeks).
  • Occasionally check the setting to ensure it stays on "warm."
  • Store whole bulbs for up to three months in a sealed container.
  • Squeeze out cloves when needed. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose quality garlic.
  • Maintain 140-170°F (60-75°C) temperature.
  • Be patient during the 2-3 week process.
  • Check color and texture periodically.
  • Use foil or parchment to prevent drying.
  • Let the garlic cool before storing.
  • Experiment with dishes.
  • Share and savor the results!
