      I wouldn't really call it dependent, or talk about it like that's not something everyone experiences with one thing or another.
      If certain food safety knowledge wasn't passed on to you by family and you don't happen to go through a course that would teach it, chances are you're just going to rely on any food safety information you _have_ had access to or on searching through whatever information is readily available to you (the internet, libraries, etc). Not that many people have a particular reason to know if garlic in a sauce prepared at home will be safe for weeks in the fridge, so not many people find out.
      Over time some information becomes more specialised simply because it's used less often. It's not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing, it's just a matter of living in the time and place that you do - it's the same with things like sewing or pottery.

    Botulism requires three conditions to enter the vegetative state:
    1. Low acidity
    2. High moisture
    3. Low oxygen
    If you remove any one of these items you cannot grow botulism.
    You can add some vinegar to it to acidity your marinade, you can dehydrate your garlic, or be a weirdo and leave the lid off your jar.
    If you are particularly scared of botulism you can get some cheap PH test strips to see whether your mixture is below 4.8 (the umber at which botulism dies).

    In my life, the first dramatic botulism crisis that I can recall was from the "Loma Linda" brand of canned vichyssoise. It was a terrible thing, and slightly ironic in that in this country, not that many people knew what vichyssoise was. (We're talking, I think, the late '60s.) I always wondered why the canning technology of the day wouldn't have killed the toxins, and now I understand. Great posting!

      If I remember right there were 50 cases
      Of botulinum poisoning. Consumer Reports had some reporting on those cases. I remember being afraid to buy
      Canned soup for a while. Not all the blame went on Campbell's either, some of the soup cans had been mishandled
      (Dropped and dented) and the seals broken, some were outdated, etc.
      At that time I was in high school and didn,r know what Vishysoise was. Now it's in my soups rotation esp for summer cold soups like Gazpacho, Pumpkin, Vishysoise, and others. In the winter I like hot soups and stews

    I used to make garlic infused salted butter that also had fresh herbs mixed in (like chives). After hearing about the risk of botulism I started only making tiny batches for use almost immediately. The thing is, it tastes a lot better if you make it at least a day in advance.

    Garlic should be safe in SV applications at ~130°F. The proliferation temp range is well below that, and while it may not be killed at that temp, it shouldn't significantly grow for however long you're cooking. It would be as safe as eating the garlic raw as is.

    In regards to flavoured oil: I usually make about a half litre of olive oil, dried red pepper flakes and a lot of fresh finely minced garlic in a small pot and very slowly bring it up to a temp until the garlic sizzles for only about 4 minutes. Not long enough to change the colour of the garlic and turn it bitter. I let it cool down completely and the store it in an airtight mason, but on the counter. Would you say being that I brought it up to a temp as to where the garlic sizzles, that it’s safe?

Based on my research, I think it is because there are a number of steps that taken together significantly lower the possibility of bacterial growth. I think having a thorough understanding of all of these factors allows one to make decisions at a personally acceptable risk level.

    This is a big controversy, thank you for the video. I looked up half of the Google, but no such answer like yours. (I'm Hungarian so maybe I did not use the perfect words)
    To be exact, wanted to check the safety of garlic-infused olive oil and (what is left after you strain the oil) garlic confit.
    To be short, this is what I read:
    - You can't make the oil hot enough to kill BC.
    - You can't freeze it to kill it.
    - Store-bought oils are acidified.
    Because of that I stopped even thinking about making flavoured oil and garlic confit. And while I thought this was BS, I never made garlic confit.
    But I am alive, and made countless portions of tomato sauce with sautéed garlic and I am alive (tomato is acidic).
    The main source of botulism is the earth. But the onion is from the earth too, and there is nothing on the internet about it. And garlic is a strong antibiotic. I think this is crazy.
    All this being said, what do you think about garlic confit and infused olive oil? If I heat it to 140-160 °F, I'm okay?

      I love garlic confit and the oil it produces. I would just recommend keeping them in the fridge or freezing for long storage. You can certainly kill BC just like any other bacteria at pretty low temperatures. The problem is that you can't kill the toxin that it already produced. As long as you don't let it multiply to produce that toxin in the first place, it's fine. I make garlic confit at about 300F in the oven for many hours, so it gets plenty hot.

You pour some oil to cover the garlic, either to a pan to make it on the stove, or a ovenproof dish. You can peel it, or leave the skin on. Peeling it makes the garlic sear a bit, I suggest you to peel some of it and try it yourself. You should cut the "root" end of the garlic and cut vertically a line too, so you can extract the garlic in a less messy way. You just push it out from the peel. And LET IT COOL OFF before you strain it.

It isn't an insidious plot by the food industry to increase their products appeal and demand. These are necessary elements in the preservation of processed foods. Unfortunately they 're the cons that come with the convenience that the consumer may want or even need.

    What are the chances of garlic infused honey, fermented process, then stored on shelf, not refrigerator, for 2 years, getting botulism??

  • @allthumbs3792
    @allthumbs3792 Год назад

    So that's the reason I was taught not to save marinade after one use! It contains many of the the same ingredients; soy sauce, honey, sherry, ginger, garlic and olive oil. What about heating to a boil between uses?

    • @jvallas
      @jvallas Год назад +1

      Marinades usually have had raw meat sitting in them for some time. I occasionally turn the marinade into a glaze, but I make sure to boil it vigorously first. A workaround is to make a lot of marinade, put meat in only half of it and save the other half to make your glaze or sauce.

    • @helenrennie
      @helenrennie  Год назад +1

      raw garlic stored in honey at room temp -- I am guessing the sugar and acidity of honey would make it ok, but I would try to read up on it before eating. the amount of salt used to cure olives is so high, that it shouldn't be an issue.

    • @gyorgybereg6916
      @gyorgybereg6916 Год назад

      Honey is a really good bacterial inhibitor, so I don't think you shouldn't fear eating it, as long as it has not changed. I mean, if you dilute honey with water, it can go bad, have a fool, vinegary smell, foam up... And garlic has a bit of water in it. Probably I would store it in the fridge, not room temp.
      All being said, you should check it thoroughly before eating a big spoonful taste a tiny bit, and I try to taste it while not sick. (I assume you make this garlic for curing cold, and sick people's taste is not so precise.)

    I'm a home canner, have been doing it for the last 18 years mostly with low-acid foods. I can ready-made meals. So I'm quite botulism risk-averse. I make your glaze recipe often, just the quantity I need. It's so very simple and quick to make, why not? Taking my sweet time, I can whip it up in less than 1,5 minutes. Here, worries eliminated. Did you know Health Canada distributed pamphlets to new moms, right after delivery, telling them to not dip a pacifier in honey to help stop the baby crying, as this was a botulism risk? At the time I had my babies, I recieved that pamphlet at the maternity ward. I was flabbergasted. I had seen so many people do it. Editing to add: I was so surprised because honey is deemed one of the very safe food, never goes bad, unsuitable environment for bad bacteria to develop.

    But seriously, I shudder to even consider telling people the stuff I have eaten that I probably shouldn't. Why just today I was looking at a container of parmigiana that I grated up several months ago and have had in my refrigerator. Sure there were some flecks of blue here and there, and a little off color on the bottom.... and yeah. I threw it away. But I did think about using it. I have a macaroni salad in my refrigerator that has been there over a week. It doesn't look bad or smell bad.... But, yeah, I will probably pitch it too. lol
    But in the past I have eaten stuff that was older than was smart to eat. Sugar, salt, acid and sweet. Got it.

    • @helenrennie

      you can vary the amount of oil based on the application. More oil is better for grilling since it will reduce the sticking, but for indoor uses, I often reduce the oil somewhat.

      With botulism it's different. It's not a risk of ingesting the organism. Botulism comes from a toxin that is produced by the bacteria while in a low-oxygen environment, and heat does not break the toxin down. Just FYI.

      Once the botulism has been produced and is present, it can't be killed because it's a toxin. The idea is to never give the bacteria the right conditions to produce the toxin in the first place. The marinade has conditions not favorable to BC to produce the toxin and is stored in the fridge.

    The most important thing is that the toxin denatures within about 5 minutes at 85℃ / 185℉, or faster at higher temperatures. Since you apply a small amount of glaze to the surface and then sear, any toxin formed should be destroyed by that part of the cooking process.
