Don’t you hate it when food goes bad in the fridge, freezer or pantry? Sometimes, it’s just hard to tell how long foods last before going bad. And I hate doing the smell test when I’m a little iffy about meat that has been in the refrigerator a day too long. If it smells just slightly off, it’s out of here.
A few days ago I went through my spices and got rid of everything that had expired. I didn’t even realize the baking powder had expired. No wonder my pancakes didn’t rise like they should have last weekend. Since baking powder helps pancakes to be light and fluffy, I made sure to purchase a fresh can. I know baking powder is not a spice, but I keep it in the spice drawer.
Whether you’re food prepping for an upcoming event, re-organizing your pantry, or doing a deep clean of your fridge and freezer, you may have wondered just how long you have before the food item goes bad.
