I did try a no-frills garlic stir-fry oil from off the shelf in the Asian foods section once, but didn't notice much of a difference. I felt like it wasn't strong enough to be worth the cost. But again, this was a while ago, so maybe I'll see if I can find others. Olive oil has too low a smoke point to be used for stir-frying, so that reduces my options somewhat for commercial garlic oil.

Since I can find good garlic olive oil at the store, I'll stick to using that. I’ve read about the botulism issue as well.

I guess the trick to the infused oil (similar to infused vodkas and such) is only to run small batches that you will use in a fairly short amount of time. Plus wouldn't the garlic kill most of the other creepy crawlies in a commercially produced Extra-Virgin Oil? Come on Elf. EVERYTHING will kill you.
