I dunno I mean try it and see. It makes the oil you're seasoning the pan with taste like garlic, imparting garlic flavour into the food you cook. I'm not sure how else to say this more clearly. I enjoy the taste of garlic, so i like the extra garlic flavour, if you enjoy extra garlic flavour, this is a way to impart some extra while seasoning your pan. And you end up with a bit of extra crispy browned garlic to add to the meal.
