Re: Garlic powder-is there a trick to making it?

[Guest guest]

After mine is dry, I throw it in the blender until it's powder then put it in a

container. Katy

How do you make your garlic

powder? I have been drying my garlic in a 150 degree oven for short

periods, then I turn it off and leave the light on. When it's dry,

I use a mortar and pestle to grind it. This takes a long time for a

lot. Does anyone have a better method to save

time?

I dry mine in my Excalibur. I powder it in a blender. Mortar and pestle

works. You just get your exercise. <g>

The last time (and first time) I did it I dehydrated the garlic in a dehydrator

and then used a mortar and pestle to grind it. I was making onion powder at the

same time and my bf suggested using the vitamix. It worked well but my problem

with it was that the powder went all over the blender and I ended up not being

able to use some of it because I just couldn't get it all. I just bought a

coffee grinder that a store employee said several other people had bought for

essentially the same reason. I think it will work better because it's in a

smaller container. ::laughs:: But I still feel like I'm cheating when I use the

powdered stuff because I've been using nothing but fresh for 4 years!

LOL! I still feel that way -- and I started making onion and garlic

powder a few months in!

Thanks for everyone's replies. You all are so helpful! I wasn't sure if a blender or grinder would be disastrous or not. I'll try it and see if it works for me.

Thank you!!! :-)
