TODCO-BRAND PORTABLE ROASTED GARLIC EXPRESS® LETS USERS REAP HEALTH AND FITNESS BENEFITS UP TO THREE TIMES FASTER, RECOMMENDED BY WHOM YOU KNOW

Garlic has been used as a food and medical supplement for years, and its popularity has recently skyrocketed because of its association in preventing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and infection.  Garlic’s phytochemicals help fight off colds and flu, lower blood and cholesterol levels and can be also be used for toothaches.  Peachy Deegan herself is a garlic enthusiast, so she was quite excited to try this fabulous new Gotham Gadget.



“Garlic is thought to also normalize cholesterol ratios, dilate blood vessels to reduce blood pressure and support a healthy heart,” noted Todd Hannon, Founder and President of Hannon Group. “Garlic also works to maintain normal blood clotting by preventing clumping of blood platelets.”


TODCO Roasted Garlic Express
According to Hannon, cooking garlic in a conventional oven can take an hour or more to roast.  In our fast paced world, most people don’t have the time to wait for conventional methods, he explained.  In Manhattan, certainly people do not have that time or patience.  


Whom You Know has tried and tested the Roasted Garlic Express and it could not be easier.  Gone are the days of peeling the garlic and carefully cooking it in a pan of olive oil, being careful not to burn it.  Hello to the days of Roasted Garlic Express!  Very simple: all you do is take your whole garlic, and slice off the top so the tips of the garlic are showing and exposed.  Then you put some EVOO in the tiny pan, and you put the garlic in with the exposed part facing the garlic.  We also added a bit of spice to the EVOO.  You plug it in, turn it on, and 25 minutes later you have perfectly roasted garlic, fabulous from everything from garlic bread to garlic mashed potatoes.  Of course, you let it cool first in the Express, then take it out with the cute little handle and let it stand for another 5 minutes.  It holds 3 medium bulbs.  Best of all, your guests will think you slaved away in the kitchen and you hardly did a thing!  You will become a culinary genius, or at least project that impression, and during the 25 minute cooking you can enjoy a glass of wine and chat with your guests.  We love the Roasted Garlic Express and recommend it!




TODCO™  offers a line of four patented portable electric garlic roasters that let consumers roast three bulbs of garlic in 27 minutes to save time and energy since it roasts faster than a conventional oven. TODCO™ is a member of Hannon Group.


Besides the health benefits, garlic is targeted to consumers who love to cook natural, healthy or gourmet food.    TODCO’s patented electric garlic roasters are available in four styles: a white gloss finish, a terra cotta matte finish, a black semi-gloss finish and a stainless steel version that comes with a digital adjustable timer to assure perfectly roasted bulbs of garlic.


“Roasting garlic softens the cloves and as that happens sugars become concentrated changing to a mild, sweet and nutty flavor,” noted Hannon. “This adds to the appeal of serving garlic as an appetizer, delicacy or ingredient for the gourmet cook at home.”


Features Detailed
All four of the TODCO Roasted Garlic Express® have the shape of a garlic bulb, are extremely compact, easy to operate and fit into any home or kitchen décor.  It can also be used in professional environments such as restaurants and culinary schools.


Each garlic roaster comes with a removable non-stick roasting cup with a detachable handle that’s dishwater safe for easy clean-up; a terra cotta ring beneath the roasting cup that requires a small amount of moisture to effectively roast the garlic; and an automatic shut-off that automatically cuts off after 27 minutes when the roasting cycle is complete. A non-stick coated interior allows for easy clean-up.


Compact in design, the units are 17 inches high and 7 inches in diameter to allow for easy cooking, serving and storage. Units weight 3.47 lbs, require only 600 Watts of electricity and come with a one-year warranty.  Suggested retail prices vary from $34.99 to $59.99 depending on the model.  Each unit comes with a free garlic recipe book.


“Cooking garlic using our roasted garlic express is much easier and faster than cooking it in a oven,” Hannon said.  “It’s also tastier and saves on energy.”
