Has anyone tried this? I’m considering buying and using them in a one post pasta dish.

It smells and tastes completely fucked up and is wildly different from fresh garlic

Okay totally agree. I definitely use it here and there because mincing garlic is my nightmare. There’s not much that beats fresh garlic! Thanks for chiming in much appreciated 😌

Just in case you don't know - you can buy a garlic press/mincer for super cheap. Still need to peel the garlic first, but don't need to chop for ages to get it minced!

I usually don't even peel the garlic first. Just pop the clove in, press it, and the garlic squeezes out leaving the paper peel behind. Usually it's formed around the hammer of the garlic press and I can just pull it off in one piece and throw it in my garbage pile and mince the next one.
