As any garlic lover can attest to, there is nothing quite like the taste of fresh roasted garlic in your favorite dish to really liven up the flavor. For a long time I would just cook my fresh garlic by wrapping some foil around it and placing it in the oven to bake. It worked out okay, but I always knew there must be a better way to roast my garlic cloves. Then recently I was searching for some recipes online when I saw a reviewer raving about her garlic baker, so I thought it was time I bought one for myself.

Now that I have it, I really enjoy using my new garlic baker – it sure beats using aluminum foil by far. This baker is a really nice size and I can easily fit five to six garlic cloves in it, which is great when I’m making a large meal or if I’m planning to make a batch of garlic spread. Being made of quality clay, it’s really quite attractive as well. Now that I’ve been using and enjoying this great baker, I realized how much I enjoy cooking in clay and plan to purchase some more quality Romertopf cookware for my kitchen.
