This Blog Is Full Of Crap

Okay, well, it's time for another quick product review for something in the kitchen.

I walked to the Galleria and headed to the Sharper Image (taking a detour by the ICEE stand for a large cherry ICEE to beat the heat on the way back.)

Here it is:

The instructions say you have to wash it out before using it, so I did. Not hard to do.

The white handle is for picking the pan out of the unit. There's a terra-cotta ring in there for... um... well, I'm not sure.

Anyway... then I put oil in the pan, sprinkled pepper, olive oil, and salt and rosemary in there, and got the garlic ready.

Slice off the tops, strip most of the paper from the garlic, and then finally put the heads upside down in the pan:

It holds three medium-sized heads of garlic.

Close the lid and push the button.

Twenty-seven minutes later, the garlic is ready. So I put it in foil to keep warm.

We usually eat three heads of garlic apiece, so I ran it again. Added a touch more of oil, some more seasonings.

The garlic came out nicely. And the fact that it takes 27 minutes instead of an hour and a half is good, too.

Of course, I have to run the oven to heat the brie and the bread, but it's still faster with the thingy.

It wasn't hard to clean afterwards. Just cool, wipe with soapy water and a sponge, then dry.

We'll see how it holds up, but I've got good feelings about it.
