The provided reference discusses drying fresh garlic slices as part of the process for making garlic powder from scratch. It specifies drying methods and temperatures for preparing fresh garlic before it is ground into powder. The reference does not provide instructions specifically on how to dry garlic powder that has already become moist.
Drying Fresh Garlic for Powder (According to the Reference)
The reference details two methods for drying fresh garlic slices before grinding them into powder:
-
Oven Drying:
- Set the oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Check the garlic slices every 30 minutes.
-
Dehydrator Drying:
- Set the dehydrator to 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Check the garlic slices every couple of hours.
These temperatures and methods are for ensuring fresh garlic slices are completely dry and brittle, which is essential for grinding them into a fine powder that stores well.
| Drying Method | Temperature | Checking Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Oven | 170 degrees Fahrenheit | Every 30 minutes |
| Dehydrator | 115 degrees Fahrenheit | Every couple hours |
It is important to note that the process described in the reference is for preparing fresh garlic before it becomes powder, focusing on achieving a dry state suitable for grinding. The reference does not contain information on methods for drying garlic powder that has absorbed moisture after being powdered.
