Maybe it's not such a neat idea after all.

I have heard that some people freeze these large containers of peeled
garlic. If you try it, let us know how it works.

I buy smaller packages of peeled garlic at the green grocer and don't
have a rot problem.

It might help to keep it covered with salted vinegar (say, a teaspoon salt
per cup vinegar), in a tightly closed glass jar. That will at least
discourage the microbes. If the little rascals want to float, I dunno the
answer to that, maybe put some kind of weighted piece of screening on top or
refill the jar brim full of liquid as you take pieces out.

I ought one of those jugs of Christopher Ranch garlic years ago and
split it with my brother. The cloves lasted 2+ months in their
original container.

I'd be surprised if it really started to degrade after a week and
that you're just not expecting this to happen.

How about in olive oil? Would that work?

That's a Costco problem. Quantity. Isn't there a Use By date on the
bottle? I think I spotted one and thought there was no way I could
meet it. Found lots of whole salted anchovies in a can labelled "keep
forever." Not so. Even fridged there's no way to keep salt and tin
from rusting. I believe "rust" is a recognized flavor in some wines,
but I don't like it.
