Can any kind contributor advise me please.
I have a recipe that calls for garlic granules but says equal to two cloves so I bought a packet but it give no details as to how it should be used.
Being a mere man I an not very worldly in such matters.
What would be equal to one clove of Garlic in teaspoons full, level or half etc?
If I knew this I would then be able to work out how much to use.

Found the answer on Waitrose site.
Granules are simply bits of dried garlic and 1/4 tsp of granules corresponds to 1 clove of garlic.
You can get cooking now!

Hi John,
Now why the hell didn't I think of that. Instead I phoned Morrisons help line and that was Last Friday morning and they said they would be back to me promptly and to date I have not heard from them.
I will write to them in the morning and tell them that Waitrose saved the day.
Thank you John I am indebted to you.

When a recipe calls for granules rather than fresh Garlic (of which I have plenty) then I use what is called for.

Hi Johnboy,
In principle I would normally agree, but feel that when a recipe calls for granules, stock cubes etc. they are generally aiming at people who either don't have easy access to the real thing or simply can't be bothered. I think you will be disappointed in garlic granules and would be much better off with fresh.

Morrison's Garlic Granules
Just thought I would let you know that I have received an answer from Morrison's this morning posted on December 24th. I made the enquiry on the 9th November. What a useless lot of wossers.
They say that there are 8 cloves to the teaspoon but I followed John's kind advice and everything was fine which was 4 to the teaspoon.
What I cannot understand is why the information is not on the carton.
JB.
