Here's what you need:
Fresh Garlic
Oven Roasting Bag
Rice Cooker
wooden chopsticks to line the bottom of your rice cooker
Optional Steamer Basket with the lip removed (if you want to do a huge batch)

If you plan on doing a huge batch then place your chopsticks in your rice cooker then drop in the steamer basket with the rim shaved off.

If you only plan on doing 1 layer then you can skip that step and simply place your steamer basket in your rice cooker normal (don't shave off the lip) Place your roasting bag in the steamer tray and open the bag up. Wipe your fresh garlic with a clean damp cloth to remove any dirt and as you do this inspect each clove to make sure it isn't rotten. Also you want to make sure that your garlic does not have any roots or new growth coming from it.

Place your garlic in your roasting bag and when you are finished press down to remove any excess air then tie the bag closed.

Close the rice cooker and keep it on the keep warm setting for 14 days. At day 7 if you are doing multiple layers of garlic then flip the bag over and continue cooking.

At day 14 most of your Black Garlic should be finished. If the color is Black like tar then you are good to go. If it is still a little brown leave it in for another week. This product can go for up to a month in the rice cooker and it will develop it's flavor quite nicely. After a month it starts to get weird...

Once it is done. Take your garlic out and allow it to air dry for a week in your kitchen. After it had dried out a bit the garlic will feel spongy like a gummy bear and taste sweet, savory, umami, balsamic, soy, molasses, something along those lines. Store in your fridge in an air tight container and enjoy. Eat a clove daily for great health and stay tuned as we get into some cool ways to use this awesome product in your freezer meal cooking!!

In this video I misspoke and said that the black garlic caramelizes. Although it may seem this way the actual process is called Maillard Reaction.

Some questions that we get is
"How does this affect your electric bill?" Not much. A few bucks a month is what it cost me to run my rice cooker 24 hours a day.

"Is it dangerous to have your rice cooker on that long?" We have been making Black Garlic with a rice cooker for about 18 months now and have never had a problem. If you are concerned you can always have it cooking on your back porch... That is unless you have thieves roaming around.

" I need my rice cooker to make rice. What do I do?" If you eat rice daily then click that link I provided at the top and get a second rice cooker!! Call it an investment.






"Do I need a special rice cooker to make Black Garlic?" Normally I would say yes but this new method using a roasting bag traps in moisture allowing the garlic to maintain a high level of humidity while cooking. If you have a rice cooker that does not lock then I would still cover the top with cling film to be on the safe side but I say give it a go. Also let me know what happens so I can tell the world about your experience!!


Thanks for watching.
Eric
