Amazon.com Review
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

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'Must Have' for Garlic Lovers!!, February 28, 2002

By	Daniel F. Moore (Yarmouth, Maine USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Being a collector of kitchen gadgets, I purchased this a few years ago and it disappeared among the other items in my collection. I found it recently and bought some fresh garlic, drizzled it with olive oil, and sprinkled some fresh thyme over it. About 45 minutes later, the house was filled with the aroma of roasted garlic....YUMMM!!! I have used roasted garlic with mashed potatoes and will never again do it any other way. The Norpro works much better than foil as it bakes the garlic more evenly. I use this item all the time now and just toss it in the oven when I'm roasting another main dish or casserole. It's so good that you may find yourself wanting more than one, as there is nothing that tastes better than food smothered in roasted garlic.

5.0 out of 5 stars MMMMMMM the smell,the taste the BEST!, January 11, 2001

By	Cheryl Burger "ggemma20" (Erie,Pa) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job, October 25, 2001

By	Todd Post (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used to roast garlic by wrapping it up in foil and putting that in the oven, which proved to be a real pain in the neck. This roasts the garlic really well, the only thing I can say is that if you drizzle olive oil over the garlic (as I do) that I've experienced some "stickiness" that is hard to get off, but that's probably due more to the oil than the roaster.
