Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Todco GR301-SS Stainless Steel Roasted Garlic Express
Customer Review: Buyer beware!
Summary: 2 Stars
When I used my Roasted Garlic Express model 301-SS for the first time it was a painful experience. Upon the completion of the cycle and a 2-3 minute wait I carefully opened the lid whereupon I received a burn from the trapped steam and oil vapor which escaped.
I consider myself to be a careful person and I did read the instructions. I sent the manufacturer an e-mail strongly suggesting they modify the instructions,namely the last sentence in Step 7 where it reads: "Let set 2-3 minutes for best results,then grasp the front handle and carefully lift the lid." I would add: *with tongs or an oven mitt.*
I have not yet received a response.I also contacted Amazon through the product safety form link.I'll probably report it to the CPSC,too.
I also noticed some smoke coming out of the unit for the first few minutes which I kept a watch on since I did follow the BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME cleaning instructions. Perhaps this should be mentioned in the instructions as well.
There are some good points about this item;the timer allows increasing or decreasing the roasting time.I was informed about possibly having to increase the roasting time by the instructions to get the proper texture.
Clean up wasn't bad and the booklet has some good recipes.
I only gave it 2 stars because of the safety issue and the price is steep for a "unitasker."
