I watched Mark Bittman's video on infusing oils on Friday, and I was shocked that he said doing it with garlic was a great idea. Even in the article, he calls garlic oil "super."
It may be super, but never make this at home. Making home-infused garlic oil can easily give you botulism.
Infusing oil with other herbs is as easy and delicious as he says, but not garlic. Bittman lost a lot of credibility with me over this one. I would have left a comment at the New York Times about it, but their site doesn't accept comments on that page.
But now we all know: don't make garlic-infused oil at home.
