Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Large Garlic Baker
Customer Review: Easy to use and eliminates burn spots from other methods
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've roasted garlic by other methods you may have been put off by some parts of the clove burning (even if a touch of that is really tasty) while other parts of the clove were still hard and spicy. This baker eliminates that tendency by creating a much more even environment for the garlic to roast in and prevents the garlic from drying out too quickly.
This is very easy to use. Just peel the excess skin off a bulb of garlic, cut the tips off the cloves with the bulb whole (one cut across the whole bulb is fine), lightly coat the garlic in olive oil, place in the baker, and put in a hot oven (you will want to experiment on the exact temp but start at about 350-400 and go from there). Around 45 minutes later you have a truly amazing ingredient. Just make sure to cook up plenty because once you have it you will want to eat some straight (it's MUCH more mellow than raw garlic), put it in mashed potatoes, tomato sauce, mash it up to spread on crackers, all sorts of stuff.
For a really special treat put some olive oil at the bottom of a small sauce pan on medium-low heat with some parsley, basil, and oregano (start with about a 3-2-1 ratio) or sage and rosemary and a pinch of red pepper for about 2-3 minutes to infuse the oil with the herb flavors and then coat the garlic with that oil to roast.
You will be amazed at how gourmet your dishes taste. You can even roast it on the weekends and freeze it for use during the week. You can either freeze it whole or mash it into ice cube trays (remember it's much less potent than raw garlic) but either way use some extra olive oil to protect the garlic from the freezing.
Description of Norpro Large Garlic Baker
You will find so many uses for baked garlic. Our terra cotta garlic baker comes with a basic recipe to get you started, even beginners. The dome is unglazed to withstand hotter temperatures and the base is glazed for shorter baking time and retaining natural juices. The baker can also be used to store fresh garlic between uses. The height of the lid is 4 Inch and the diameter of the lid is 4.75 Inch.Roasted garlic is all the rage, and for good reason: its sweet, savory flavor adds depth and richness to many dishes and it's an easy appetizer when served with a crusty loaf of bread. This terra cotta garlic baker comes equipped with a basic recipe to get you started. There's even a microwave version, but taking the time in the oven gives the best results. The glazed bottom of the baker is easy to clean and the porous, unglazed lid holds in just enough moisture to bake the garlic until it has carmelized, without drying it out. The baker can also be used to store fresh garlic between uses. --Julija Gelazis
