Fox Run Garlic Keeper, Terra Cotta, Red, 4.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inches

It’s compact but holds a few garlic bulbs and it looks good.

I just opened my terracotta garlic keeper - replacing my previous one that broke (my careless fault) last week after years of use. The outside surface is smooth and flawless, meaning no scratches/cuts or bubble dimples or chips or dried globs or discoloration. The inside surface and rim opening are NOT jagged with sharp globs of clay whereby a finger could be cut. There IS small, insignificant jaggedness around the 6-holes (3 front, 3 back) on the inside, but the holes are so low on the keeper that it should not be an issue for fingers...or the garlic bulbs for that matter. I know that well for I scrubbed every inch of the inside (and outside) with my fingers. No cuts or pain! There is no funky scent coming from the clay even when wet. This garlic keeper appears to be able to hold possibly 3 fairly large, garlic bulbs loosely; perhaps 4 bulbs with a more "packed" space. The actual rim opening is exactly 6cm (approx. 2 3/8") in diameter. The keeper sits level and does not rock. It looks highly symmetrical. Plus, GARLIC is spelled correctly!!! Ha! You never know these days!!! Ha! The lid fits just as a clay garlic keeper lid should fit, not snug and with no seeable gaps. The clay color is indeed more brownish-red than pinkish-orange. If you owned a clay garlic keeper in years past, don't expect the same wall thickness. This one is thinner than the one I had for years. A sign of the times! Even so, this keeper feels sturdy enough, just not as heavy as the one I had which was also smaller than this one. Overall, this is a good product (at least the one I received) and I recommend it.

Works great to store garlic and I’ve gotten multiple compliments.

Nice product if it were 20% larger. You may have trouble even inserting median=sized bulbs.

Love this. After many years I dropped my old garlic keeper getting it down from a high shelf. This one is very nice. holds several garlic heads (depending on their size of course). Ventilated to prolong garlic life.

Cure jar for my hoard of garlic. I always buy too much garlic and inevitably some of the garlic heads start to sprout or dry out. This jar is a great solution! Not only does it look great on the counter, but it keeps the garlic out of the sun and air without keeping the moisture in and causing it to get mushy. Happy with this!

In my experience, terra cotta garlic keepers will preserve fresh garlic bulbs and cloves for several weeks. This FOX RUN GARLIC KEEPER is an attractive little potbellied garlic keeper, but the top opening is only 2-1/8" across. This means the keeper won't accept the large, fresh garlic bulbs that you find at farmers' markets and some grocery stores, unless you break the bulbs apart. Then the broken-off cloves don't seem to keep as well. The "belly" of this garlic keeper has room for a maximum 2 or 3 small bulbs. The advantage of having a small garlic keeper is that it doesn't take up much kitchen counter space. However, if you use a lot of garlic, you will probably prefer a larger keeper. My garlic keepers get broken from time to time, so I've tried several. I like both of these larger keepers, which can probably hold even an elephant garlic bulb: Norpro Deluxe Stoneware Garlic Keeper , and the currently unavailable "Romertopf Reco Nature's Oven Clay Garlic Keeper". Because of the Fox Run Garlic Keeper's small size that limits its storage capacity, I rate it at 3 stars ("It's OK" on the official Amazon scale).

The garlic holder is too small so I returned it.

Estou usando como porta alho. Gostei muito. O manuseio deve ser com cuidado, o material eh delicado. Ficou lindinho na minha bancada. Chegou bem embalado, no prazo.

This garlic keeper is the best. I was always having a problem with my garlic sprouting before I could use the whole clove. I kept it I. The dark in a a breathable bag but it still sprouted in fact it did not matter what I used, a few weeks after purchase, it was off and growing. I finally gave up and decided it was cheaper to probably buy the correct storage vessel than keep throwing away sprouted garlic. I was right, this item keeps my cloves perfectly even months after purchase, it also looks good. Garlic has become quite expensive, and I like to buy it when on sale, so I can now do so, without worrying about keeping it.

Buena pieza, cumple con lo descrito.

Was looking for a nice garlic keeper and this was cute.

にんにくを多めにストックしておくので、このくらいの大きさがちょうどいいです。見た目もかわいい。
