Ask the Test Kitchen
I like to infuse my olive oil with sparkling chunks of garlic. How long can I maintain it on my countertop? —T.B., Delray Beach, FloridaAccording to the Food and Drug Administration, you shouldn’t do it in any respect. Because garlic is low in acid, it is able to promote the increase of bacteria that reasons botulism—a precise health danger to humans. Rather than make your very own, we advocate which you use best commercially prepared infused oils…and keep them in line with the manufacturer’s instructions on the label.
