I'm making pulled pork in a crock pot, I added onions and the ones sitting on top of the roast turned fucking blue. I was so excited for this to be ready tomorrow now I'm worried, never seen that shit happen ever. Anyone know how this could have happened?

I have seen that happen with old garlic.
Ruins the taste.

>>10484061
It's probably a chemical reaction with something else in the crock pot.

Many alliums will turn red in contact with vinegar so I assume this is something smilar.

>> No.10484085

Heh. The sulphur in the garlic reacted to some acids and turned blue. Some people accidentally make blue-garlic butter from time to time trying to add lemon-juice.

If it is blue for the same reasone garlic turns blue, than yes. Safe to eat. I eat a lot of fucking onion and have never seen this.

>>10484137
So garlic and vinegar might do the same thing and bleed into the onion?

>> No.10484176

>>10484151
Garlic and onion are related. Im sure its the same chemical reaction.
Its definitely not mold. You're safe.

The anthocyanins that give red/blue hues to plants are pH indicators, meaning they'll turn red for acid, blue for alkali. This is most noticeable when it occurs against pale backgrounds (it tends to be covered up by sauces etc).

In this case - assuming OP didn't dump mouthwash or whatever in there - it's just something that had anthocyanin pigmentation (I just want to stress that this is what gives *all vegetables* their red/blue pigmentation, with yellows coming from similar chemicals called carotenes, and is not harmful in any way) which has been placed in an alkali environment.

Toss some vinegar or lemon juice in there and it'll disappear or, at the worst, turn pink instead. Given that it's not consistent across the garlic (and garlic prefers to grow in, and therefore is of, a slightly acidic pH), I'd suggest it's something in the sauce reacting to/staining on the garlic, and for a culprit I'd suggest that ugly-looking purple slug thing in the upper center of the picture.

In fact, if you're worried, take a piece of that garlic out, find some lemon juice (bottle is better, it's more consistently acidic, and slightly stronger than vinegar as acids go - about the same 5% concentration too) and leave them in a cup together for a few minutes. If it doesn't change at all - doesn't fade, doesn't pink up - throw the whole pot out because fuck knows what you did. If it changes at all - paler blue, pink - and doesn't, you know, go dark blue (which it shouldn't in acid) or explode or anything, it's fine and you're a big fucking baby.

I'm pretty sure it's not free sulfur in the pot forming dyes.
