Peeling garlic is achore.

Sure, there are tools invented specifically for peeling garlic, but single-purpose items clutter my kitchen.

If I were using one clove of garlic, itd be less of an issue.

That is until I found this shortcut: crushed frozen garlic fromDorot Gardens.

Some stores carry containers with 16 cubes.

Instead of wrestling with peeling garlic, now I always have garlic ready to go in my freezer.

Garlic makes an appearance in all of my day-to-day cooking.

It quickly dissolves in soy sauces and vinegars to make dips, marinades, and salad dressings.

Compared to fresh garlic, the flavor of Dorot is much more subdued.

And at $2.49 per pack, its a justified kitchen shortcut.
