Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Large Garlic Baker
Customer Review: it works fine, just smelly and god help you if you burn garlic
Summary: 2 Stars
While the base of the product is great and VERY simple to clean out, the terra cotta 'top' is a pain in the butt (impossible to clean) and absorbs WICKED odors. after first use, the top had absorbed a huge volume of the oils used, and the scent permeated the cupboard. by the third use it smelled so bad it was almost intolerable, and then I burned a clove of garlic in it. (ugh) While the base does not absorb the odor at all due to its 'glazing/lining', the top is absolutely unusable now. i would not buy this product again unless it were fully glazed. i have an electric one that is super simple to clean and doesn't smell, and works in very swift time, so i'll stick with that one.Customer Review: MMMMMMM the smell,the taste the BEST!
Summary: 5 Stars
After using this what I considered a strange looking kitchen item,I am sure pleased that I am opened minded. Being a person that loves the taste of garlic,I try to incorporate it in my daily diet for health reasons and for the wonderful way it teases my pallette! Garlic Baked in the Norpro comes out so soft you can actually spread it on crackers or a fine French bread. Now I look for large cloves of garlic so that we can enjoy this special treat as often as we can. I am only a modest homemaker,However, I do know a good product when I use one and this one I rate a high 5! Now go out and get one,you will not regret it.Customer Review: It works in the microwave.
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazon's description shows that this product is oven and microwave-safe, although the packaging on the box itself does not say that it is microwave-safe. I did purchase it to see if it really works in the microwave, and it does - beautifully.
Roasted garlic in the microwave = ready in 2-3 minutes (using 2 bulbs)
In the conventional oven = 45 minutes minimuim
The box also doesn't say whether it's dishwasher safe - but I've washed it in the dishwasher many times already and it's fine. It didn't break, crack, or pit - so I think it is dishwasher safe.
Customer Review: Garlic Baker
Summary: 5 Stars
This Norpro Garlic Baker performed just as I expected.Room for three large garlic cloves.First I soaked the lid thoroughly and then placed baker in cold oven.Followed instructions on box and roasted garlic to perfection.As garlic is roasting house starts to take on the aroma of a great Italian restaurant and you'll soon get very anxious to try this wonderful garlic on whatever else you think it goes well with. You may also enjoy roasting a large onion in this garlic baker.Customer Review: Smell the garlic
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a slave for garlic, and this makes such yummy whole roasted cloves. Though rumor has it, you can seperate the cloves! I love the smell of garlic as I am roasting it, then I can take the yummy roasted cloves and smoosh them into garlic spread, or just toss them onto or into casseroles, potatoes, soups or onto fish.My only complaint, is that the smell gets into this and permeates what it is near. Thinking maybe if I zipped it in a ziplock that might help it.
