What’s the theory with the garlic?

• grawprog 5y ago
  Makes things taste better. Garlic's tasty and full of oil. The flavour of the garlic infuses into the oil. Depends on what you plan to cook though, probably wouldn't add it if I was planning on cooking pancakes or something. But a stirfry or anything like that.

    Garlic is 0.5% fat according to Wikipedia.
    • grawprog 5y ago
      Yup and that 0.5% is pretty darn flavourful.

        Seems more like an "okay, but" than a "yes, and".

          I dunno I mean try it and see. It makes the oil you're seasoning the pan with taste like garlic, imparting garlic flavour into the food you cook. I'm not sure how else to say this more clearly. I enjoy the taste of garlic, so i like the extra garlic flavour, if you enjoy extra garlic flavour, this is a way to impart some extra while seasoning your pan. And you end up with a bit of extra crispy browned garlic to add to the meal.
