HERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO ROAST GARLIC BUT WITH WATER

This is from creativeclaycooking.com

"A great ingredient to have handy is roasted garlic.  I recently had the opportunity to try the Superstone (a patented highly fired clay mixture) Garlic Baker by Sassafras. Roasted up the garlic perfectly. Simply cut off the top of the full garlic bulb and remove the papery part.  Dribble about 1.5 T of Olive Oil over the top, salt and pepper and put in a cool oven at 350 degrees. After 25 min add a 1/2 a cup of water and baste every 10 to 15 min until the garlic is tender in an hour. After it cools, remove the extra pulp from the bulbs and store in an air tight container for future use. The brick like surroundings cooked it perfect. Cleaned up beautifully."

We shall try it in Amsterdam and post about it, with and without water. It is simply interesting how people do things so different.
