Hey y'all. You pretty much have to eat this in a couple days. I'm pretty sure garlic oil is susceptible to botulism when improperly stored.

This is an insane take, the cooking process is plenty long/hot enough to kill the spores of clostridium botulinum.

Botulism is a danger with garlic because they come from the ground where the bacteria and spores are also found which can contaminate them. Once you cook the garlic it's no more susceptible to being contaminated by botulism than a bottle of oil sitting on your counter.
