Holy crap. Too many people flaming at the same time. I'm probably too old to totally enjoy the flaming of such magnatude.

When they dump the chopped garlic, into the hot oil, the moisture in the garlic mixes with the oil and forms a brief and very flammable cloud.<BR/><BR/>As soon as the flame up is over (a few seconds) they toss in the calamari, sauce, etc. or whatever, and finish cooking. The garlic itself is not burnt.Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-7296320066466002252008-07-26T12:46:00.000-04:002008-07-26T12:46:00.000-04:00Thanks!

So what gives with literally torching it? Wouldn't this have a similar burning effect?<BR/><BR/>I'm garlic infused and confused :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
