Rub up date

I seemed to over-season the last brisket.
In review, I used garlic powder, and I should have used granulated garlic.
1 TBS of Garlic power is not the same as 1 TBS of Granulated Garlic.

Read the labels before use I should. LOL

[smokenoob]

did you mean two teaspoons of granulated garlic equals 1 teaspoon of garlic powder?

[bbqLuv]

My bad, I add NOT.
Thank you for pointing that out.
The recipe calls for granulated garlic and not garlic powder.

If I could only find garlic power….🧐

Glad to know this!

I've always used granulated garlic interchangeably with powdered garlic. Actually, the past year or two, I just buy granulated garlic and onion, as I got tired of garlic and onion powder clumping up in the bottle, and find that the granulated versions don't clump up like that. Had no idea there was a doubling in strength going from granulated to powder.

So if anything, I guess I've been using less garlic than I thought. Probably would have noticed it much more if I had gone the opposite direction, like you did!

I've always assumed that granulated garlic is to garlic powder as kosher salt is to table salt, based on the larger size of the particles. Never really tested it, though.

[jfmorris]

Steve R. I think you are right - its the size, which puts more "air space" in the teaspoon for granulated versus powder.

I just found a several conversions for garlic online that all seem to point to these conversions, which I find useful to know.

1 Clove of Garlic Equals

• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, which also adds 3/8 teaspoon salt

Those conversions are useful, as there are times I don't have fresh garlic, but may have garlic salt or granulated on hand. I've personally never seen garlic flakes, but am sure they are for sale - just not ever present in our pantry.

I am a lazy cook, and my wife is NOT a garlic person, so we rarely if ever buy fresh garlic cloves, but I keep a jar of minced garlic in the fridge, and use that for all recipes that call for fresh garlic. So I already knew that 1/2 tsp equivalent per clove. I didn't know it for powdered or granulated thought, so this is all new information for me.

[Panhead John]

All recipes that call for garlic, I double it….😋

[bbqLuv]

2:1 ratio, just what I figured.

You just need to season yourself more with bourbon

I started a movie with Will Ferrell and he bought PBR right before I quit watching. Wondering if you messed up the garlic watching that movie?

[bbqLuv]

PBR is a movie star.
I know it is the way to go.
