Title: it works fine, just smelly and god help you if you burn garlic
Product review: While the base of the product is great and VERY simple to clean out, the terra cotta 'top' is a pain in the butt (impossible to clean) and absorbs WICKED odors. after first use, the top had absorbed a huge volume of the oils used, and the scent permeated the cupboard. by the third use it smelled so bad it was almost intolerable, and then I burned a clove of garlic in it. (ugh) While the base does not absorb the odor at all due to its 'glazing/lining', the top is absolutely unusable now. i would not buy this product again unless it were fully glazed. i have an electric one that is super simple to clean and doesn't smell, and works in very swift time, so i'll stick with that one.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
