Technically correct but I really hope people are not encountering botulism on a daily basis.
- kadoban 2y agoEspecially on clean, dry dishes (botulism is anaerobic, and needs moisture).
- m3047 2y agoIt was a few years ago, but potatoes baked in foil were the leading cause of food-borne botulism that year. I can't find a ranked list for a recent year, but it's still a recurring cause.
- firesteelrain 2y agoreally? I dont cook them that often in foil. I have never encountered it. Will keep it in mind
- m3047 2y agoIt's not the cooking, it's leaving them tightly wrapped in the foil (anaerobic) and not refrigerated; and then not reheating them hot enough to destroy the toxin. The toxin is destroyed at less than 100C, but not the bug.
- firesteelrain 2y agoI usually wash them off, poke them, lather in butter, wrap in foil then cook on the grill. Never been sick
- namibj 2y agoThe issue seems to be with storing them after cooking and before consumption.
