How To Make Black Garlic At Home, Easily

It only takes 10 minutes of active time to make black garlic. Everything else is just letting it sit at home while you live your life. Black garlic also referred to black gold (for good reason), is one of the greatest kitchen condiments you'll ever experience and it's even better when you make it yourself.

I have good news: there is in fact a flakey salt related t-shirt/hoodie/apron on the list of merch items that I plan to release. I also have bad news: I said that the maillard reaction was enzymatic when I meant to say non-enzymatic. So it's basically the polar opposite of what I said. Whoops. Anyway. Love you guys, I appreciate each and every single one of you. I really hope you enjoy the video. <3

Whenever Joshua calls something "easy", I fall for it. Every. Single. Time.

There should be a warning here about botulism in this video. This deadly toxin that can appear in garlic that is left with no oxygen for a long time. This will not happen if warmed constantly above 60°C. it is then really important to keep it above 57°C all the time because under that temperature the deadly spores can grow. If you can not monitor the temperature all the time it is better to throw it away, and not to make this at all. I am no expert but there is alot about this on the net. Maybe this can be prevented too if the packs has air holes in the foil.

Just a heads up to anyone interested in this; it only takes about 9-14 days in a rice cooker. Put the bulbs in with the skin peeled (so you can see the individual cloves but not completely skinned) AS IS w/ no plastic wrap or foil. But anyways s/o to Josh for giving us the idea and recipes! Can't wait to make that butter mmm

when you're asian and every option is too expensive besides the rice cooker.
*Then* he says let it wait for 2-4 weeks untouched.
*BUT I HAVE TO COOK MY RICE!!*

“Easy to make” *pulls out $500 dehydrator and sets timer for 2 months*

Joshua: This method requires as little effort as possible.
Also Joshua: ...Now, pull out your flux capacitor.

I put my garlic in my crock pot on keep warm. Today marks 3 weeks so I pulled one out to check ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! Thank you!

My wife was sitting on the couch almost moaning with pleasure as you described the flavors of the black garlic. I think Josh is the guy everyone told me not to worry about.

Him: *has a frickin dehydrator*
Also him: *doesn’t have a can opener*

"...all you need is the right equipment..."
*pulls out three kind of nuclear reactors*

FYI, I did the math, it’s REALLY expensive to leave a food dehydrator on for more then a month. It’s even cheaper to buy black garlic for the store.

In swedish garlic is called ”vitlök”, literally white onion, and black garlic would then be ”svart vitlök”, literally black white onion

Joshua please let me out of the cabinet.

I'm hungry and want to see my family again.

This turned out AH-MAZING! I did it in a crock pot on warm setting. Each head of garlic wrapped tightly in one piece of wax paper, two pieces of aluminum foil. Put in crock pot, spaced and not touching on a rack. Seal vent holes and wrap entire lid with plastic wrap. Place crock in base pot and put on warm. Two weeks later, BEAUTIFUL black garlic. Sooo yummy. This was my second attempt and I thank Joshua Weissman for the tips along with trial and error from others online.

Black garlic (fermented) is a delicacy, super food here in Japan, it tastes kinda like fruit, sweet chewy with a red wine/plum aftertaste, doesn’t have rough garlic smell at all. I will try this in my rice cooker thank you for the recipe!

[emilybaker]

Did this in a medium-sized dehydrator from Cabella’s... I think we ended up filling the dehydrator, and used almost 200 bulbs. Gifted them at Christmas time to all our friends and family with a little card on how to use it, and ideas about when to replace regular garlic with black garlic. Everyone loved it, and we made a few meals over the holidays with it, all got very impressed reactions 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I live in Malaysia and they sell this black garlic in the normal grocery store for $1. Asians know how to eat!

He did not just tell me to leave my sad little rice cooker on “keep warm” for 3 weeks
