Todco GR300-2 Roasted Garlic Express

This works well for roasting garlic in about a half hour. The default is 27 minutes, but I have been using peeled organic garlic cloves plus an extra 5 minutes to give more of that coveted all-over caramelization, as opposed to only having caramelized cut ends when keeping them in whole heads. It's easy to add minutes at startup.Now for the quality issues: The startup button on my machine is defective; it takes 3 or 4 pushes to activate it. The LED display of time-to-go has one segment per digit that does not light up. I would have returned it for replacement, but Amazon no longer carries this and I would rather have one that mostly works, than have them just refund my money. This is what makes this a four-star instead of five-star review.

So few countertop appliances are worth the space they occupy. This one is well worth it. We used very often, with consistenly wonderful results. We tried cooking garlic, but this is so much easier. We find ourselves making garlic snacks to blend with crackers, goat cheese, olives and other wonderful fare.We could not recommend this countertop device more heartly.

The Garlic Express was delivered as advertised and was easy to understand, operate, clean, and produced good roasted garlic per instructions. It is a great help in the kitchen for making pasta dishes... garlic Bread is awesome, and garlic for salad dressings is quick. Also a fast rubbing paste can be made for chicken and turkey roasting. A nice little appliance for the kitchen.

it works great, easy to use

This is really a great product! It is absolutely easy to use and takes very little time to have lots of roasted garlic cloves. I have started using the big bags of already peeled garlic from Costco and it works fine. Besides using the roasted garlic as a spread, I combine the cloves on a toothpick with different cheeses, sun dried tomatoes, or olives. Lots of opportunities for experimenting. I'm going to give these as gifts this Christmas.

I received this and I've used it at last twice a week. garlic is so good for you and this makes it sweet and spreadable....It is so easy to use. :) If you love garlic...it is a "Must Have"!

The garlic roaster is easy to use and is way faster than using the oven to roast garlic. Its a great product. And Amazon delivered it without any problems.

You can roast garlic in the oven with great results making this more of a convenience than a necessity. I am also an admitted kitchen gadget fiend and basically want/have one of just about everything. However, knowing this about myself doesn't change the benefits of this product.1. Easy and quick to use. The entire process from start to finish takes 30 minutes, 27 minutes of that is the cooking process - 3 minutes of your time to prep the garlic.2. Compact machine doesn't take up a lot of storage space and looks nice sitting on the counter if you want to leave it out.3. Doesn't require the use of a larger oven. This keeps your kitchen cool if the weather is warm and keeps your oven free if you are making a large dinner.4. Roasted garlic is lower in calories than butter. I use less oil than the instructions call for with no negative results.So if you can get over storing one more small appliance this is a pretty good thing to have. I also plan on giving these as gifts this holiday season with a bottle of fabulous olive oil and a garlic rope to our friends "who have everything."
