Best way to store garlic?
Comments (6)It does not freeze well. It's stored like onions, shallots. The problem with purchasing any store bought is the unknown of when it was harvested. Or how it has been stored. I would take a clove off, lay it on your counter with a knife over it, pound it, and see how easily the skin releases and check the clove. (garlic firms and shrinks in its skin as it ages-moisture loss). If it is difficult to peel, it is very fresh. But nothing wrong with a little age. It only freezes if it has been roasted soft, maybe a bit of olive oil. I go through garlic quickly and just store it in my pantry in a basket next to the onions. Another method is to peel and cover with olive oil and store in the fridge. It perfumes the oil and can be used as you would any garlic. I seem to always have a small lidded container with rosemary and sea salt we use for fresh bread or a drizzle on soup. Fridge life? i give it a month-ish. Best that way, a bit fresh. If it has green sprouts it is still good, but use that one up soon. We love it roasted. Whenever the oven is on for anything roasting, I've got a few full heads in and use it like butter and in soups. Can be roasted uncovered or in a foil packet. I like to roast them with some beets as the cooking time is similar. (all out of my garden beets now) Garlic harvested fresh from the garden is often stored in netting in a cool dark place to cure. It likes air circulation. preferably hanging. Easily last a year....See MoreBest way to store pots and pans
Comments (18)Corners are always difficult. Blum makes those cool corner drawers like plllog. however, a little wedge of 2 triangles are wasted to the left and right of the drawers, which i could not afford to lose... Magic corner (I think is the name) does not. There are other pullout corner devices that do wastes less time and the contents are pulled out. These do not have folding corner doors that lazy susans have. The problem with lazy susan is that the opening is small to get things in and out of the spot. Lasy susans require that the corners have hinged doors. I did not like these very well in my old kitchen. Currently, I installed pullout type of corner peanuts. This way, I have a place to store oversized things which do not fit into drawers. I have all lower drawers. pullout peanuts: http://69.50.210.69/~ezeedemo/surrealdesigns/wp-content/uploads/image/inolemans.jpg I really wanted the magic corner but my cabinet maker would NOT warrantee the product. It is not their usual thing that they offer because they were not sure that hardware would last if you really load them up! (my cabinets come with lifetime warantee) When I visit Ikea, I always check out their corner hardware, i have seen them "falling" apart at times which tells me that they may not hold up to abuse.... magic corner: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51kSKKkpitL._SL500_AA300_.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.nicefurnishings.com/b/Blinds/Chrome_Blind_Corner_Organizer_Pullout_Unit_for_Kitchen_Base_Blind_Cabinet_B001ROS8Y8.htm&usg=__w4sIT08NPqf5eJ0bt9cGD8I1HYw=&h=300&w=300&sz=24&hl=en&start=28&sig2=HUO18TAhy7fWYey6i3SOYQ&tbnid=F5rxj__9DVsVsM:&tbnh=116&tbnw=116&ei=GldcTM3DCZCisQPvwPHbDQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcorner%2Bpullout%26start%3D20%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1G1GGLQ_ENUS337%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1 lazysusan http://www.ajdesigncompany.com/images/kd/lazys2.jpg...See Moreways to prolong growing season for salad greens
Comments (8)thanks..and good tip on the airflow. I'm a stickler for aesthetics and currently use a really nice looking 'box' for storage....see link as an FYI...it was super easy to snap together..no tools needy...looks like it will stand up well to this, its first Winter on my balcony...and the top can double for a place to lay plants or as an extra balcony seat.... http://www.amazon.com/Suncast-SSW1200-Wicker-22-Gallon-Storage/dp/B0044V3UFS/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449090112&sr=8-1-fkmr2&keywords=balcony+storage+suncast Anyway, I therefore already have a box that I use for balcony storage...however it occurred to me that ideally, maybe I can find a clear box such as yours, and of dimensions that are just a hair smaller than the footprint of my current balcony storage box. Then, during the warmer months when I no longer need my makeshift coldframe, I can simply insert it into the base of my pre-existing storage box so voila!...it's really not taking up any extra space! Yeah!! Necessity is the Mother of Invention as they say...one of my favorite expressions, as it is sooooo true!...See MoreBest lights for growing salad greens/herbs?
Comments (3)"Will fluorescent T5s do the job, or will LEDs?" Either, if you mean LED bulbs for household lighting, e.g., 800 lumen, 8.5 watt "60 watt equivalent" LED bulbs sold for $1.99 each. "Can anyone give me a simple way to find strip lights that would mount under kitchen cabinets and do a good job?" No, today's LED strip lights are inadequate.
