so the plan is to make some garlic bread, the problem is I will have to cook it early in the day but dont have a fridge where I will be.

ingredients are olive oil, garlic and sundried tomatoes and french bread

I usually bake in the oven for a few minutes to warm the bread then broil until the oil starts to bubble.

I just want to know if this is safe food handling or not, by themselves each would be fine on its own but with a partial cooking I am not so sure.

this usually leaves some of the garlic pretty raw and the bread is very garlicy.

I don’t see a problem (oil takes ages to go bad, sun-dried tomatoes have a long lifetime, the danger zone is hours in length, etc.) but **IANAFS**. Sounds delicious, though.

thanks guys, I can keep it cool for awhile I would guess, and I just realised they have a grill there…the bbq kind but it should work well enough to heat the bread
