I peel 10 or 15 bulbs, cover it in oil, and put it in the oven for 1- 1,5 (if I forget it) hours at 100*c, the oil I'm using is either a neutral oil, or a bulk extra virgin olive oil. Then I store it in the fridge - it has a shelf life of virtually forever.. Happy Hat fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Mar 21, 2012 |

Chick Fil A's owners are very conservative christian types and financially support groups like "Focus on the Family", etc. Some college kids with nothing better to do decided to hand out flyers at NYU stating that the company as a whole will want to know about your sexual orientation if you apply for a job there. And apparently some cross dressing Wilson Philips impersonators decided to do a music video. Day in the life, I suppose.

Phummus posted:When I roast garlic, I cut the top of the head off, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, wrap in foil and throw it in the oven for an hour or so at 350. You mentioned using the oil that you simmer the garlic in. Can you describe your garlic roasting technique as well? I would think prolonged exposure to heat would reduce the fruitiness of a good olive oil. Peel all your cloves, cover with decent oil and then throw on the lowest heat you possibly can until they soften and just barely start to color. It should take 20 minutes max. Process your hummus while the oil is still hot. It may kill of some of the finer notes in a really excellent oil, so just use that to finish and use a mid-range oil to cook in if it concerns you.

I keep on buying roasted garlic at the little olive bar thing at my supermarket, but I throw it out after a week or so. of course, it's not submerged in oil. once it turned green and smelled like death. dunno how they prepare theirs though.

Standard warnings about Botulism risk for confit garlic, since you're storing food in an anaerobic environment and I guess the botulism spores either contaminate it after it is off the heat or they're resistant to the relatively low heat levels used. Guidelines I've seen have suggested that you keep it refrigerated and not keep it for more than two weeks. That may be overkill, I don't know. I bet NosmoKing could shed some light on the matter.

Seems like you should hit it at 121*c, so either I've been lucky, or I've had my oven on too high (prolly the first) - I will adjust to 125. But yeah - it lasts at least a couple of months in the fridge (but it will only last me about 2 weeks when we're talking around 100 cloves - bitches needs their garlic bread!

Would rubbing the clove with a tiny bit of pink salt help with this? Or will you never be able to add enough without the product getting too salty?

Happy Hat posted:SV above 121*c ? I read F, my bad. But 121 C seemed high to me, so I looked up Douglas Baldwin who says... quote:a 6 decimal reduction in non-proteolytic C. botulinum requires 520 minutes (8 hours 40 minutes) at 167°F (75°C), 75 minutes at 176°F (80°C), or 25 minutes at 185°F (85°C) (Fernández and Peck, 1999). The food may then be stored at below 39°F (4°C) indefinitely, the minimum temperature at which B. cereus can grow (Andersson et al., 1995). also: quote:While keeping your food sealed in plastic pouches prevents recontamination after cooking, spores of Clostridium botulinum, C. perfringens, and B. cereus can all survive the mild heat treatment of pasteurization. Therefore, after rapid chilling, the food must either be frozen or held at So you were probably just doing it high enough for long enough.

But at the very least that would be swatting a fly with a Buick. It's also pretty easy to get poisonous levels of nitrates if you don't measure your food and pink salt very exactly. You can't just throw a pinch into the pan.

Yeah, I have no idea how to figure out how much nitrates actually end up in bacon and stuff. I have been keeping my bag of pink salt in a misc cooking drawer along with some decorative cookie sugar. If I suddenly stop posting you guys will know why.

one of my clients is a biomedical advocacy group, which has networking meetings and an annual scientific review event and stuff. I went to one of the paper presentation session things, and read a paper by a phd candidate looking at the survival of botulism in acidulated mayonnaise. they compared survival rates based on PH, and on commercially prepared "lemon juice" vs fresh squeezed lemon juice vs citric acid vs not at all. it was interesting, because in all the samples, I remember seeing that botulinum spores - when put in a properly acidulated medium - eventually die off. like, no matter what acid was used, at the proper PH, after like 5-10 days, all the mediums were fine - it was just the rate at which they were killed off that varied. this was surprising to me, because I guess I just figured that things got worse over time, no matter what. I wish I knew how to get enough into food science to know exactly when to be comfortable with holding things at various temperatures, and when a jar of roasted garlic in oil or pot of old soup is gonna kill me. Given how blasé I am about the food safety of actual food items (raw beef? sure thing! eggs still quivering, raw cookie dough? of course! all variety of perishable sea creatures eaten raw? sure count me in!) I find it really disturbing how afraid I can get of things after 5-6 days of their sitting in the fridge. if it's a soup or something and I haven't re-boiled it after 6 days, I throw it out. same with cooked meats, cooked vegetables, basically everything. but I'm sure some of it is probably fine, I just get the heebie jeebies. someone help cure me please. mindphlux fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Mar 22, 2012 |

Yeah, in theory if you could make the oil somewhat acidic you'd be fine - which is why anaerobic conditions in a pickle jar don't result in botulism. You'd start loving with your flavors, though maybe you could pull off something both tasty and effective. Not sure how to acidify oil outside of an emulsion, and sticking your garlic confit cloves in mayo would be weird.

The Macaroni posted:Both mediaphage and KWC are correct: oil as a garnish rather than a major ingredient, and roasted garlic > raw garlic in hummus. Oh, oh, and make sure to serve your hummus with fresh basil! Oh man that is good. A nice crisp basil leaf in a scoop of hummus is the very thing. It also works with mint, unless I am very much mistaken in my memories of Syria.

I stopped drinking on weekdays, because it was starting to get expensive. I realised yesterday that I haven't bought a bottle of liquor in a couple of months. This means that with all this extra money lying around I was able to go nuts and splurge on some frozen berries and such for smoothies this morning. You barely need any at all to give the smoothie lots of the taste, and the bananas are relatively cheap anyway. The taste difference between the frozen berries and the godsawful out of season ones is huge. The excitement I got from buying them, and the enjoyment I'm getting from drinking the smoothie this morning was well worth the creeping sobriety. Yes. I have officially become An Old Person. I felt so indulgent and naughty for spending around $20 on frozen berries. But /man/ did it feel good.
