Measures: 5" x 6" x 5" / 13cm x 15cm x 13cm. The garlic keeper is a must for anyone who likes to cook with fresh garlic. Holds 3 to 4 heads of garlic. Provides ideal storage conditions for garlic bulbs, ginger or shallots. This relative small glazed ceramic keeper with a blue design will keep your favorite herb nearby and ready for use. Not oven safe. Hand washing recommended.
There are a couple of really nice things going for this ceramic garlic keeper by Norpro: its good-looking, yet restrained in its Old World ornamentation; and while it will never contain that entire Costco mesh bag of Gilroy, Californias chief crop, it will provide optimal storage conditions for three or four larger heads of garlic (not including the jumbo-sized but deceptively mild elephant garlic). Firm, plump, heavy heads with unbroken, tight, papery skin deserve a dry, cool (but not refrigerated), well-ventilated hood, something this 5-inch-high garlic keeper provides with a touch of Italian élan. --Tony Mason
