@Sharron Brown, 1 clove = 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder = 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic. So if a recipe calls for a tablespoon of garlic powder, you should actually use 2 tablespoons of granulated garlic. The burnt garlic flavor might just be the result of using the wood-burning stove.

I need some help! I have a recipe for Buffalo Wings that my Better Half just loves… problem is, it calls for 1 TBSP garlic powder. I replace with an equal amount of granulated garlic. We cook using a wood cookstove. I think the qarlic has a touch of “burnt garlic” flavor. Am I using too much granulated garlic compared to what the flavor would be if I used garlic powder instead? I can’t find a comparison chart for this question. Would appreciate any help.

If this was a ploy to get me to write my first comment, it has worked. Shame on you BS, garlic powder is only good on buttered toast. Even with rubs I recommend mincing garlic in a mini cuisinart, it adds so much more flavor…

humm…after reading the comments and pondering my cooking…i guess powder has its place; rubs,bread…sometimes both when i’m doctoring ragu tom gravy.
i always use to use fresh cloves but they never lasted long enough..so at my produce store they sell them vacuum paced tiny bags…there are really equal…putting a little evvo in foil on the grill..their great,ask sag….and they last …hopefully you @ es won’t think the worst of me

also, the last time i used real pumpkin gansie was knee high to a grasshopper about 3-4 yrs old…she was a fun cook back then too.

I tried cheating before buy buying the ‘processed’ garlic in a jar. they are horrible so i trashed it. im still lazy so i bought the next best thing, peeled and freezer packed so i always have a fresh garlic when i need them. having mortar and pestle helped too.
