Questions about Garlic powder
How much garlic powder equals one garlic clove?
Use about ⅛ teaspoon of garlic powder for one medium clove. It is concentrated, so start with that amount and add more only after tasting.
When should you add garlic powder while cooking?
Stir it into a little oil, stock or other liquid rather than scattering it into a very hot dry pan, where it can scorch. Add it to soups and sauces early enough to soften, or mix it into a rub before roasting.
Can you use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?
Yes: use about ⅛ teaspoon for each medium clove, especially in sauces, marinades and dry rubs. It gives an even garlic flavour but will not add the juicy texture or sharp fresh bite of chopped garlic.
How should you store garlic powder?
Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from steam from the hob. Use a dry spoon; if the powder has clumped or lost much of its aroma, replace it.
What foods go well with garlic powder?
It works in roast potatoes, savoury biscuits, soups, pasta sauces and marinades for meat, fish or vegetables. Mix it with salt, pepper and herbs for a quick seasoning, or stir it into yoghurt for a dip.
Is garlic powder the same as garlic salt?
No. Garlic powder is dried, ground garlic; garlic salt also contains salt, so it seasons and flavours at the same time. If replacing garlic salt with powder, add salt separately to the dish.
