Okay, so the fridge is a bit of a drama queen for garlic. But the freezer? The freezer is your best friend. You can freeze whole cloves, peeled cloves, or even minced garlic in an ice cube tray with a little olive oil.
Frozen garlic will last indefinitely. Seriously. It won’t grow mold, it won’t go bad, and it’ll be ready to throw into a pan at a moment’s notice. It’s like having a garlic emergency kit in your freezer.
Just pop a frozen clove straight into the hot pan. It thaws in seconds. You’ll never waste a wrinkled clove again. I sleep better knowing my freezer is full of garlic cubes.
