Gemtune Black Garlic Automatic Fermenter, Black Garlic Ferment Box, Garlic Maker Recycle, Intelligent Fermentation Machine, Health Food Maker, Home/Kitchen Utensil

This garlic maker does not have a plug compatible with US outlets. I washed the inner trays, prepared and loaded my garlic, but cannot plug the machine into any outlet. It’s meant to be used with an electrical system in another country. I didn’t find any mention of this in the item description or reviews so I post it here to let other US customers know.

Like most of you out there I was intrigued by the food phenomenon called black garlic. Upon doing internet research to buy it already made could cost about $30 per pound. I then learned it’s not too hard to make your self. I started looking into the available methods... I didn’t want to leave an oven on for two weeks, or try to cook it sous vide (risk of botulism). It came down to getting a rice cooker (the type that can seal) and leave it on the keep warm setting, or purchase a dedicated machine. Since the rice cookers I already owned we’re not the right type I went with getting the machine, this one to be exact. The nice thing with Gemtune’s listing is it’s ready to ship in the U.S. and I received it in 2days. Other listings ship out of China etc. and could take 2-6 weeks. From my research I noticed a lot of brands have the same machine, so it’s probably all coming from one manufacturer with individual companies putting their brand on the device. Main things I looked for was capacity and ease of use. Some newer models have an accelerated mode, but I didn’t mind waiting the extra days, I also read some of the quick mode Garlic has some of a more burnt taste but I can’t confirm. I have made 3 batches of black garlic so far. I am using garlic from Costco which costs $5 for two pounds. I usually get two bags and pick the best. I look for bulbs that have no green sprouts and most of the peel is in tact. This helps because using the cycle some cloves will slightly burst but the peel maintains the integrity. I have handed out black garlic to friends and co-workers and the results are very positive. Some people eat it straight. I prefer it cooked in a stir fry or stew. Tried an aoli recipe that asked for 13 cloves, had my black garlic been store bought I possibility would have been hesitant to try a recipe I haven’t done before, but since I can make it myself I’ve been open to new recipes. I can fit about thirteen to bulbs of standard garlic in the machine. I have not been able to find the solo type garlic in my area. All in all I am happy with the purchase. Yes it does make your house smell like garlic when it’s cooking, not too terrible but I maybe getting used to it. :-)

This product did not come with a USA compatible cord. Returned.

Bought this for my parents to ferment garlic for better health, very easy to use, and does a great job. The only thing I would change is having it sealed really good where the smell doesn't seep out. The whole house smell like garlic.

This one is awesome. Every one should get one.

It’s supposed to be 6L capacity, however, it doesn’t hv the 300hr function as shown in the instruction manual. It can only reach max of 289 hrs which is the max of the 5L model. It’s good the outcome was still A-ok.

Good for the money

Works as it is described.

Hola, He estrenado el fermentador hace 3 dias y esto huele mucho, tengo toda la casa ambientada a ajo. Este aparato es para usar en exteriores, en una zona cubierta. Ya diré como han salido los ajos más adelante.Finalmente terminó después de los 12 días y los ajos han salido muy duros y secos. Parece que esten deshidratados y no se el porque, puesto que el ciclo lo ha hecho completo. El receptor lateral de agua está vacío. Creo que el equipo no va bien y lo voy a devolver.

El aparato cumple su función. Hace ajos negros sin nada que envidiar a los de la tienda.Tiene una opción de 15 días y otra de 12 días, los ajos salen mas ricos con 15 días.Caben unas 11 cabezas grandes en dos bandejas. Viene una tercera bandeja, pero para utilizarla deben ponerse dientes sueltos en esa bandeja, no caben cabezas enteras en las tres bandejas.Por último añadir que tuve un corte eléctrico de dos horas pero el aparato reanudó correctamente el proceso.Hasta ahora estoy contento.

Ottimo strumento per produrre l'aglio nero fermentato. Unica nota dolente che dovrebbe essere segnalata è il fatto che durante la fase di produzione viene emesso un odore di aglio talmente intenso da renderne impossibile l'utilizzo all'interno di un alloggio ed anche il posizionamento sul balcone può dare fastidio ai vicini di casa e di sicuro non si possono lasciare le finestre aperte. Provare per credere!

Estoy completamente decepcionado con el producto que me han vendido porque ha dejado de funcionar sin solución de continuidad. Un desastre, la verdad pues no pensaba que en estos tiempos se pudiera comercializar un producto tan malo.

Es la la segunda vez que pongo el fermentador y me sale E2 , no funciona ni se como hacerlo funcionar ya que las instrucciones no vienen en español, les solicito me den una solución espero sus noticiasAtentamente Macedonio Luna

Hola el producto lo estoy probando, y aún no ha terminado la fermentación, no puedo decir cómo salen los ajos, lo que no tengo seguro es si es normal la variación de temperatura que sufre el aparato durante la fermentación, ya que baja de 79 grados a 45 y luego vuelve a subir a 79 gradosesto lo ha hecho en una semana que lleva enchufada. Si alguien me puede despejar esta duda lo agradecería. Un saludo.

Después de 12 días por fin termino y que decir, ahí estaban unos espectaculares ajos negros. Por decir algo no pude poner cabezas enteras en las tres bandejas por que no cerraba la máquina, lo solucione poniendo ajos sueltos en la bandeja se arriba.

en panne apres 3 utilisation, impossible de faire jouer la garantie, vendeur injoignable meme par amazone, en attente de la reponse d'amazon, a decommander tres fortement, vive la chine

Gerät ist zehr gut.

Pacco ricevuto nei tempi rapidi previsti, con sorpresa però, il prodotto è risultato già utilizzato. Già il pacco era stato richiuso con nastro di carta, ma la cosa più sconvolgente era lo sporco ed il forte odore che emanava.Una stella anche in considerazione del fatto che il venditore ha rimpiazzato un prodotto usato senza neanche degnarsi di controllare...mancavano pure le istruzioni e non so se qualcos'altro.

👍👍👍👍👍
