Crafted from unglazed terra cotta clay; contains no lead or cadmium
Allows garlic to last longer
Holds multiple heads of garlic
Editorial Review:
Our terracotta garlic keeper is detailed with a raised, garlic bulb design on front and various holes around the sides for proper ventilation. It comes with a lid to keep out light and provides a dry, cool and well-ventilated environment to help keep garlic fresh longer.
For centuries food has been cooked in earthenware pots over open fires or in brick ovens. Römertopf carries on this tradition by crafting clay pots and dishes specifically intended for cooking a variety of vegetables, meats, casseroles, and breads in the home oven. Manufactured in Mexico, each vessel is made from unglazed and porous terra cotta containing no lead or cadmium. Before each use, the pot is soaked in water in order to absorb a certain amount of moisture into the permeable clay. This moisture is slowly released during cooking, sealing in the natural juices and increasing the flavor and tenderness.
Decorated with a garlic motif, the Römertopf garlic keeper is ideal for storing multiple heads of the aromatic bulb. Standing 4-1/2 inches tall and measuring 4-3/4 inches wide, this round vessel contains a detachable lid and helps the garlic last longer by keeping the cloves in darkness, yet letting in a certain amount of air. Römertopf recommends washing all clay pots by hand. Due to their porous and unglazed nature, the pots should not be exposed to extreme temperature changes. --Lea Werbel

Garlic keeper:
First product arrived broken, (This is a clay pot). As soon as I notified shipper a new Garlic Keeper was sent at no charge. Only had to return the broken one within 30 days to prevent a second charge. Return postage was repaid. Second keeper arrived intact. Only other comment is it is big. It can easily hold 3 or 4 heads of garlic.
works as promised:
keeps the garlic fresh,for a long time, and it looks great on my counter;
it also holds a lot more garlic that I realized;
Wrong Item:
I did not receive this item. I received a small garlic baker. With all the Christmas buying and returning, I didn't have the energy to return this one! Donnie
A Very Nice Container:
With room for a few heads (or bulbs) of garlic this keeper is attractive looking, well made, properly ventilated, and contains the papery mess that would otherwise occur in storage. Not much else to say!
