Romertopf Reco Garlic Baker

Great way to cook a whole head of garlic in the toaster oven. I soak the cooker for several hours before using it to insure moistness in the cooked garlic head. The directions say to use in conventional oven but I have found directions for other clay cookers that say they can be used in the microwave. I will update my review after I have tried this method to see how well it works (or doesn't work). Would not generate the heat of a conventional oven in the summertime.

But it works well, and the garlic is yummy! Lost one star because of rough edges on the base, but a nail file took care of it.

Got a lot of oohs & awes for this gift. First of all, what is it & how do you use it? Came with a small instruction book on how to use it & know you first have to soak it & then bake your garlic. Don't know how well it works, since I didn't get any feedback from the recipients, but no complaints, either. I'm assuming it does well.

I received this item two days ago and I used it today, this thing is amazing, I used just the garlic cloves, I put them in some aluminum foil with some olive oil and put it in the roaster and then baked it in the oven according to the directions, the cloves came out nice soft and moist.

The best garlic baker that I have ever owned. The price is unbelievably low - buy it! (The enclosed directions are stupid easy to follow - just follow them and you will be very happy.)

Bought this because I read about toasting garlic in the microwave using one. Wanted to try it. Works great and looks nice sitting atop the appliance.

My Wife and I love clay pot cooking. This item looks good on your counter and works perfectly. For the price you can't do any better.

I take the garlic baker, soak it in water for a few minutes, then cut the top third off of a glove of garlic (just enough to expose the little pods inside) then brush it with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and fresh cracked pepper, then bake it in the oven on about 375 for 30 minutes. When it's done, you take the garlic out (allowing to cool) and you can just squeeze the garlic out of the little sections, because it gets reduced to the consistency of butter. You can squeeze it out onto bread, spread it around, and throw the bread back in the oven for a minute with the broiler on, and you've got healthy, simple, and delicious garlic bread.
