  1. One interesting thing about posting on Google groups, they put other
    links to related items based on the posts you are reading in the
    margin. I usually ignore them but when I perused my own post about deep
    fried garlic, I clicked on a link for roasted garlic and found this
    interesting item:

    firststreetonline.comproduct.jsp

    Looks intriguing and since the roasting cup is removable, I imagine
    that that roasting chamber would be good for other items. :-) Maybe
    even eggs and it's a non-stick coating.

    I don't really need another kitchen gadget but I thought it was kinda
    cute being garlic shaped and all, and has a good possibility for other
    uses. <G>

    Opinions?

    (very) small appliances like this are a boon to us who live in the desert
    and try to avoid heating the full-size oven for small items. This is one I
    might consider. I think it might be to hot for eggs, however.

    I use my toaster oven for roasting vegetables, broiling meat and fish. My
    electric egg cooker makes an acceptable poached egg and hard boiled eggs
    that peel easily and never crack. My small appliance aresenal also
    includes two electric skillets, two crockpots, electric roaster, KA mixer,
    hand mixer, blender, food processor, antique malt mixer, electric sandwich
    maker, two waffle makers, spice mill, burr coffee grinder, and probably
    some other things I haven't remembered.

    I had a contact grill but despised cleaning it, regardless of method. If I
    can't dishwasher the soiled parts, then I don't want it in my house. <g>

    Our tiny kitchen is cramped in this rental house, but we finally have an
    end in sight. We closed on our property and our house is under
    construction, with a possible end of August move date. I will have plenty
    of pantry and storage areas there for everything.

    I try not to use the oven, too, especially in the summer.

    I am finding I am using my GF grill less and less because I hate
    cleaning it...

    To my knowledge, the first contact grill introduced to the US was a
    beautifully designed model made in France. I bought one at Bridge
    Kitchenware in NYC in 1993. After using it for about a month, I took it to
    Goodwill. It was actually a better design than the GF, but a cleaning
    nightmare.

    Thanks! Yes I will. It's not a huge kitchen, but it's well organized with
    plenty of counter and storage space. I can hardly wait. <g>

  5. I wonder if Bed, Bath, & Beyond or Linen 'n Things might have these?
    My only sqawk is the shipping is fee is 1/3 the price of this item.
    I've seen the ones that are the oven type, but like already has been
    mentioned, who wants to heat up the the kitchen by turning on the oven?

    I'm doing some googling on it.
    I did find it on the Target website but am doing more searches. :-)

    Google search is "Roasted Garlic Express" since it's the name brand.
    Should be able to find cheaper shipping, or find a local outlet.

    Well, that would certainly be nice, and we certainly would have the room.
    Alas, I'm afraid I'm much too lazy to deal with that. :-) I won't even
    use a charcoal grill, opting for gas instead. Who knows, though, maybe
    one day when I no longer have to work in the city.

    Thanks, Elaine! We're going to take 2 weeks vacation when we move, and I
    expect that almost everything will be done within a month after moving
    except planning our landscaping. If I had to think in terms of a year I'd
    go mad. :-)
