Dear experts, I intend to make some homemade chilli olive oil by the cold infusion method of simply inserting the cut chillies into a bottle of purchased olive oil. Is this safe to do or is there a risk from the bacteria called botulism? Thanks.

No, that method is not at all safe. I would dry the chillies thoroughly and use a heated oil method such as this one. http://www.chilipeppermadness.com/cooking-with-chili-peppers/how-to-make-chili-oil

I do it the way Dove has linked too. Very simple method.
