I make a foil lid for on top and then fold the sides over and close it all up. Set on warm with a sticky note to remind me what day to turn off. The smell changes a couple days before its done. They are the texture of a prune in 2 weeks. I seperate all the cloves and out in a container with paper towel on bottom and leave on the counter w/o a lid for a week or so to dry a little more. Just bought multiple pounds of butter from the Amish not far from here to make compound butter for steaks and chops. The rest gets saved for pasta and pizza. Now you need to try cured egg yolks. I make linguine with clam sauce with black garlic and grate cured egg yolk on top. Fantastic stuff right there.

I use a rice cooker that has a ‘keep warm’ selection got it at Goodwill for $5.00. I place a thicker crumpled piece of foil on the bottom to keep the garlic from coming in contact with the pan place a wet paper towel draped over the garlic and leave it alone. Best temperature is 140’F for 4 week. The final product is soft and black, and peels very easy. It actually sells for a lot of money.
