Description

Elephant Garlic (Allium ampeloprasum). Mild garlic-like flavor. The bulbs commonly weigh a pound or more each. The cloves are very easy-peeling. You'd think you have a giant hard-neck here, but the bulbs keep very well, more like a soft-neck garlic. Elephant Garlic is also popular and profitable market gardeners' crop in some areas. Elephant Garlic is not a true garlic at all, but an enormous bulbing leek. But, it is grown like garlic, with a few minor differences. The bulbs commonly weigh a pound or more each. Each clove will grow a bulb of 3-6 ounces. 3-5 cloves is sufficient for most gardeners. 1 pound of cloves plants a 5 foot row.

Description

You will find so many uses for baked garlic. Our terra cotta garlic baker comes with a basic recipe to get you started, even beginners. The dome is unglazed to withstand hotter temperatures and the base is glazed for shorter baking time and retaining natural juices. The baker can also be used to store fresh garlic between uses.

Roasted garlic is all the rage, and for good reason: its sweet, savory flavor adds depth and richness to many dishes and it's an easy appetizer when served with a crusty loaf of bread. This terra cotta garlic baker comes equipped with a basic recipe to get you started. There's even a microwave version, but taking the time in the oven gives the best results. The glazed bottom of the baker is easy to clean and the porous, unglazed lid holds in just enough moisture to bake the garlic until it has carmelized, without drying it out. The baker can also be used to store fresh garlic between uses. --Julija Gelazis
