Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tagco Roasted Garlic Express Electric Roaster - WHITE
Customer Review: Easy way to make perfect roasted garlic! (But needs some improvements)
Summary: 4 Stars
I was so surprised when I received this garlic cooker. I guess I expected it to be small, but it is large enough to hold 4 big heads of garlic! (It measures 7inches x 7 inches) It comes with a clay insert that you wet before putting in the special garlic tray. It's quite easy to clean and I like it that I don't need to heat up my oven to make yummy roasted garlic.
I would have liked a count down timer so I knew how much time was left, instead the light goes out and that's the only indication you have that it's ready. Even a little beep sound would be nice. In addition, I don't think that 30 minutes is enough time and my garlic was not as soft as I like it. I cook for another 10 minutes (popping the garlic tray out and adding more water to the clay insert with a turkey baster). For these two reasons I have marked down to a 4 star even though I adore this kitchen appliance and use it quite often.
Customer Review: Fabulous Roater!

I'm such a huge fan of this garlic roaster. It really is simple to use, my apartment smells amazing to me, it reminds me of an old Italian restaurant. The only thing i will say, is that it really only holds 2 bulbs at 1 time. With 3, it doesn't seem to hold them very well. But, for myself, i only do 1 bulb usually at a time anyways. I love how simple it is to make restaurant-style garlic butter, mashed potatoes, etc. It's not a big appliance, and well worth the money.Customer Review: Family Favorite

SUMMARY: Long story short - this countertop baker is worth every penny - not only efficient and reliable, but versatile, too.
HISTORY: I have baked garlic in a hot oven with OK results. Only OK. Mine was never as tasty as that in restaurants, so I made an exception to my "multipurpose" requirement for kitchen appliances and bought Roasted Garlic Express.
TESTIMONY: For baking a single bulb of garlic, it's far more economical to plug this in than to rev up an entire oven. And for some reason regular ovens take twice as long to do the job. If the garlic is more than a few days old, I usually add about 5 minutes for best results.
TIP: Do Not Skimp on the olive oil. The instructions called for much more than I would have used if left to my own devices. Follow the instructions for best results. Duh.
FLAW: My sole criticism is a design flaw: the little handle (for removing the hot tray at the end of the cycle) should have a storage place right on the appliance when the garlic is roasting. Of course for storage we stash it inside the roaster.
RECOMMENDATION: If you want to eat roasted garlic frequently, this appliance is totally worth having.
Customer Review: GREAT PRODUCT!
