Tool of the Week: Electric Garlic Roaster
—Contest now closed—
First off, let me wish you a very happy National Garlic Day! Yes, today, April 19th, is the real deal. So go out and indulge, and if anyone gives you a hard time, just tell them you’re celebrating!
April is zipping by, and I have more garlic-related Tools than there are Weeks left in the month, and so because I also need to bend your ear, I’m offering a nice little bribe in the form of a Roasted Garlic Express from the Hannon Group. It’s a countertop electric roaster that promises to roast up to 3 medium bulbs of garlic in 27 minutes flat.
Before we get to that, here’s the deal. This week, I’m headed to the annual convention of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, an amalgam of chefs, food writers, marketing professionals, cooking teachers and others to attend seminars, mingle, gab, attend the trade show, listen to keynote speakers like Ruth Reichl, and, of course, eat.
It’s held in Portland, Oregon this year, and there will be thousands of chefs and culinary experts there. So here’s where I need your help.
If you had this many chefs at your disposal and could ask any chef any question about tools that are relevant to your life, what would you ask?
Go beyond the obvious. I’m not looking for “What’s your favorite knife?” or “If money was no object, what tool would you get?” If you could ask them ANYTHING in the world about tools, what would it be?
Go crazy. Knock yourself out. Because this contest is going to be decided on the creativity of the response, and not just picking a number out of the hat from Random.com.
Win one!
