What is Mummy's Magic Garlic Chilli Crunch?

It combines savoury garlic flavour, chilli heat and an irresistible crunchy texture in every spoonful.

Is Mummy's Magic Garlic Chilli Crunch the same as chilli oil?

How should I store Mummy's Magic Garlic Chilli Crunch?

For Mummy’s Magic Garlic Chilli Crunch, follow the storage instructions printed on the current product label. The product page recommends refrigeration and using a clean, dry spoon to maintain freshness, flavour and texture.

Does Garlic Chilli Crunch need to be refrigerated?

Mummy’s Magic recommends storing Garlic Chilli Crunch in the refrigerator. Always follow the storage instructions on the jar for the most current guidance.

Why should Garlic Chilli Crunch be refrigerated?

Refrigeration helps maintain the product's freshness, flavour and quality, particularly when a condiment contains garlic and other food ingredients suspended in oil. For homemade garlic-in-oil products, food-safety authorities specifically warn against room-temperature storage because garlic submerged in oil can create conditions favourable to Clostridium botulinum.

Can homemade garlic chilli oil be stored at room temperature?

Homemade garlic-in-oil preparations should not be treated like commercially processed products. Food-safety guidance recommends refrigeration for homemade garlic-in-oil preparations because the low-oxygen environment created by oil can permit Clostridium botulinum growth under suitable conditions.

Is commercial Garlic Chilli Oil safe at room temperature?

Commercial products can have validated manufacturing and preservation controls that differ substantially from homemade garlic oil. Always follow the manufacturer's storage instructions and the label on the specific product rather than assuming that all chilli oils have the same storage requirements.

Why does the oil sometimes separate from the crunchy ingredients?

Separation is natural in an oil-based condiment containing solid ingredients. The oil may settle or rise while the crispy garlic and chilli pieces settle at the bottom. Stir or mix the contents with a clean, dry spoon before serving so that the oil, garlic and chilli are distributed evenly.

Should I stir Garlic Chilli Oil before using it?

Yes. Gently stir the contents with a clean, dry spoon before serving if the oil and crunchy ingredients have separated. This helps distribute the crispy garlic, chillies and flavourful oil throughout the jar.

Why has my Garlic Chilli Oil become thicker in the refrigerator?

Some oils naturally become more viscous or partially solidify at colder temperatures. This can change the texture of the product without necessarily indicating a problem. Allow it to sit briefly as appropriate and follow the product's label instructions.

Can I use a wet spoon in my Garlic Chilli Crunch?

It is best to always use a clean, completely dry spoon. Introducing water or food particles into an oil-based condiment can negatively affect product quality and shelf life. Mummy’s Magic specifically recommends using a clean, dry spoon.

How can I tell if my Garlic Chilli Crunch has gone bad?

Check the product's use-by/best-before date, storage history, smell, appearance and texture. If you notice an unusual or unpleasant smell, unexpected mould, contamination or other significant change, do not consume it. When in doubt, discard the product.

Is Garlic Chilli Crunch healthy?
