This subject comes up periodically. I could not find the historical
emails!!
T-Up: My son received fresh mushrooms (Oregon truffles) for Christmas.
He's a foodie, but not a chile head.
So...he used some of the fresh truffles in olive oil to flavor &
preserve.
However, from historical discussions regarding flavoring oils with
chilies, I believe that there is a botulinum danger.
At what temp/ degrees should he heat the olive oil/mushroom mixture
to ensure health safety (????)
