With fresh parsley in it, too! I also still choose to smoke! However, in looking up garlic infused oil, I found this article. http://ucfoodsafety.ucdavis.edu/files/250352.pdf<br />Whilst it is MY choice to take risks with MY health, in light of that article, thoroughly researched, I feel that I cannot take a risk with my family's health. Simon Simon, do a bit of research on the botulinum spores and toxins. It is not the bacteria which causes the illness, but what it produces. And oils are great breeding grounds for these. Whist I agree that many bacteria are safe to eat (we consume millions every day, however 'clean' we think we are) the toxins produced by this and its spores are not. You do YOUR research. I will be following the recommendations from the link above to make my oil and butter in the future. To keep my loved ones safe. Researching means understanding the research you have done, not just picking out the bits you like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15516010031175152093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903751.post-39256335610433622732017-09-10T08:37:26.507-04:002017-09-10T08:37:26.507-04:00This woman is a nut job!

And as for this stupid article saved your family....PFFT! No it costs you money throwing away good garlic and oil! So so yourself a favor and eat garlic for your health! And forget weirdo panic attack freaks! People the truth is harsh and BS is easy to swallow! Eat garlic daily! Now use a little common sense? If you eat raw garlic, and bacteria is present, you would get sick! Oil is not a breeding ground for oxygen breathing or non oxygen breathing! It is just stupid to believe idiots! Do a little research and in fact call your local poison control? But I have seen stupid comments and many people are dumbasses! Science and labs and scientific method must be adhered to and keep your minds right!<br />Eat healthy and eat Garlic and you might live better and longer!

I've been a head chef for more than 30yrs. Take an entire bulb of garlic, peel it & each segment separately. Place all peeled garlic in a suitable oven proof dish, cover garlic with your favourite oil, then cover dish with aluminum foil. Pleace container into preheated oven (180°C) for approx. 30-40 mins, removing foil for final 15 mins. Carefully remove container, add oil & cooked garlic cloves from container to a suitable storage bottle, top up with additional oil to make whatever amount (250ml, 500ml, 1Lt.) etc. and you're good to go. Store in a normal cupboard at room temperature and as the days roll on, the flavour of roast garlic will intensify. This will be 'good' for a few months. The garlic may blacken in the bottle over time as it absorbs more oil, but it is nothing to be concerned about. I run a 2-Michelin-starred restaurant and have been doing this for decades without any issue. Please need to stop scaring others with silly lies. You're more likely to be struck by lightening than you are by making yourself sick with this safe & trusted method.

They drove to Arizona in a motor home from Vancouver. There were 7 people in the motor home - 4 kids aged 3 to 9 and 3 adults aged 45 to 68 years of age. I was sick with measles at the time and had to stay home on Doctors orders. My two sisters and cousin went. My grandmother also went and accompanied my mother and father. My father was an M.D and my mother was a Registered Nurse. If anyone would have known the symptoms of botulism it would have been they. When they arrived in Arizona they set up at an RV Park. My Dad always liked to each my Mom's fried chicken, so they went out and bought some fresh chicken. They also bought fresh vegetables and garlic. My Mom made fried chicken for the group and a salad. A few days later they were found in the Motor Home - all dead. The toxicology reports revealed they died overnight from Botulism found in Garlic oil my mother had made before they left Vancouver and put in a glass mason jar. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903751.post-58825437198934178362014-04-29T08:26:13.068-04:002014-04-29T08:26:13.068-04:00This is strange information because I made a tinct...This is strange information because I made a tincture of Garlic oil last year and put it in my own brown glass dropper bottle and then left it in my tinctures drawer for one year! When I began using it again there was no gases or strange smells (except strong garlic odor) . I used high quality organic garlic and organic olive oil to make it. I first crushed the garlic and then simmered it in the oil until the odor was present in the room. I did not fry it in the oil. I used a cloth sieve to remove the garlic pieces.

Garlic can absolutely be eaten in raw form. Its peel protects it from contact with surface bacteria in the soil. It's 'possible' that garlic could have some bacteria, except that the majority of the world uses it as an antiseptic, and its the one few natural remedies that will stave off a cold or flu.<br /><br />Regarding the comment of oil being a breeding ground that's the most retarded thing I've heard. Oil is a preservative if anything. Most bacteria feed on two types of things, sugar and protein. Go look up the FATTOM rule before posting misinformation.<br /><br />That said you'll get a better flavour out of gently simmering the garlic in the oil.<br /><br />With infused oils I've found they can go rancid a little quicker than your regular oil.

I shoved about ten cloves in it and filled with olive oil. I then put it in the cabinet and started using it to cook with a week later. When the oil level became low I added more oil, and quite honestly it smelled heavenly and tested even better. I used it for about five months, the garlic had started getting loose brown papery skin floating off of it yet I still used it but I wondered ifthegarlicwasgoingbad. One night I got a little sick and as always I trace back what I had eaten. I suspected the oil so I dumped it out and soaked the bottle with soap water. Nobody else in the family git sick. I sure do miss that oil it was divine.TAWMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274911894512487102noreply@blogger.com
