Product Information

Black garlic is a culinary ingredient known for its exquisite sweet and savory flavor, as well as the soft and sticky texture characteristic of a properly cooked clove. In addition to its complex flavor, black garlic can help regulate blood sugar levels, triglycerides, and cholesterol. I’ve also seen it said that the temperatures involved in making black garlic are too high for a true fermentation process to occur. After a few trial runs, which can be found on my blog, I found that the best vessel to put the garlic in was an aluminum baking pan. After fermentation, the active ingredients of black garlic can stimulate immune cells to become more active, thereby increasing and enhancing the number and ability of immune cells, thereby enhancing the body’s antibacterial and antiviral capabilities.

I was expecting something strong and pungent like regular garlic, and, instead, found a smooth, sweet treat reminiscent of a balsamic vinegar reduction. I also kept the switches in-tact to be used to control the fan speed and whether I want the light on or not.One of my favorite (and most accessible) uses is to mash equal parts black garlic and good butter together to form a paste, then top a grilled steak with the funky, umami spread and a bit of chopped parsley. In compliance with Prop 65, Everything Kitchens must display this warning when directed by the manufacturer for consumer information purposes. I put my Instant Pot in a spare bedroom, opened a window, and closed the door (and even then, a garlicky aroma drifted down the hall). After setting the Folding Proofer at 102F / 39C and checking the garlic at 3 weeks the garlic temperature reads 115F / 46C. The 60C process that we recommend, and seems to be used widely be others making black garlic at home or professionally, is to our understanding, completely thermal and not biological.

At the time, I didn’t want to spend the money on extras to try to make something that I wasn’t even sure would turn out. This fermentation process transforms the raw garlic into a milder, sweeter flavor with a unique caramel-like sweet taste, which is more appealing to most people than the pungent taste of raw garlic. It can be used in lamb, beef, poultry, seafood, pizzas, pastas, risottos, aioli, eggs, and even dessert dishes. To adhere the foil to the walls I picked up a bottle of spray glue, sprayed generously on the foil and on the inside of the box, let dry for a couple of minutes then slap that foil on there. I think I'm going to try apples and shallots (not dipped in wax, though) but I'm curious if anybody has tried anything else?After reading about black garlic technique (60C or 140F applied for 4+ weeks for extreme Maillard browning) in the Noma Guide to Fermentation, I have become really interested in trying to blacken fruits and vegetables.
