Garlic question

Johnny Mc said:

How much garlic powder would equal 4 cloves of garlic?
I am thinking about 1/2 tsp.

Doesn't it say on the bottle? I don't have any garlic powder so I can't
check but I believe they usually list rough equivalents.

I have never thought of garlic powder as a substitute for
real garlic.

You know you can buy already minced garlic (packed in water) in jars? It's
normally somewhere in the produce section of the store.

I have no problem mincing garlic, it is just that I hate to go to the store
just to get garlic....

Why not?

1/8 tsp garlic powder = 1 clove garlic.

I don't like the texture of minced garlic in meatballs, hence I use
powder.

I didn't mean to infer you had a problem with mincing it; if you buy the
minced jarred stuff and keep it in your fridge, when you need 3-4 garlic
cloves you just measure some out. No "sprouting" garlic that way, either.

Must depend which garlic powder you're looking at. Mine (clubhouse)
distinctly read -- 1/4 tsp equals 1 clove...............No salt in my powder
though!!!

I just made a batch of meatballs the other day. I used my garlic
press, the tool Sheldon says there is no practical use for. It squashes
the clove, presses the juice out and forces the bulk of it through the
little holes, so there is nothing left with any texture. I rarely use
garlic powder because it doesn't provide a taste like other forms of
fresh garlic.

Most Jars of 'Minced Garlic' say 1 Teaspoon = 1 Clove Garlic....but as for
'Powdered Garlic' ...I use 'Masterfoods...now it says 2/3 (Two Thirds) of a
Teaspoon = 1 Clove Garlic !..

Gee, you mean garlic will sprout? :-)

I never knew that, since no head of garlic EVER stays around
my kitchen long enough to even get comfortable in the
garlic keeper, let alone think about sprouting...

though!!!

And let's also keep in mind that it will depend on just how
long that powder has been sitting on the shelf. For a lot
of folks, you could probably dump the entire contents of the
jar/can/whatever in and still barely taste the garlic.
