Ingredients

Directions

  1. Set Anova to 150°F
  2. Vacuum seal 20 bulbs of garlic (I chose to do a big batch since it takes so long; I wanted to make it worth it).
  3. Set seed garlic into bath. To help reduce evaporation and heat loss put ping pong balls on top of the water.

Finishing Steps

  1. After the 2 weeks are up. Remove the garlic from the bags and peel the cloves out from the bulbs. They will easily pop out. Set your oven* to the lowest setting to dry the garlic. *you can use other methods of drying as well including smoking.
  2. Place garlic cloves on a sheet pan and dry for 6 hours. Once 6 hours are up refrigerate the cloves in a container for up to 9 months.
