Cream: use by date

[OceanPrincess]

So my cream is use by 24/01. It is unopened. I was going to make some scones - so some of it in the mix, then beat the rest for on top of them.

Would you use it?

[~Hestia~]

I went to make some mousse yesterday and mine was use by 20th, ooops! I chucked it as it says use by and not best before iykwim?

I personally wouldn't, don't trust
Dairy.


Sent from my iPhone, more than likely while I should be doing something else!

[OceanPrincess]

Yeah that's why I'm hesitating!

See if DH can bring some home maybe... Don't want to make anyone sick on Straya Day!

[Purple Penguin]

Nope, I wouldn't use it.

[nothing2lose]

I would. Especially as it's not opened. Cream that is off will smell. If it doesn't it is fine.

I do it all the time.

[Phteven]

^ That.
Eat a spoonful and if it's off you'll know.

[nothing2lose]

Honestly, I would be very surprised if it would be off just being out of code by two days.

[OceanPrincess]

Really?? I am inspired.

I sort of thought "well it isn't going to magically go off at midnight on the 25th"... Maybe I'll give it a whiff.

Or taste. If I dare.

[nothing2lose]

I have used it a week out and it was perfectly fine.

[OceanPrincess]

Think it's fine. Scones here we come!!!

Except I am out of SR flour. How do I convert plain to SR?

[nothing2lose]

A teaspoon of bakingpowder to a cup of plain (I think!). Check the baking powder tin.

[nothing2lose]

Just checked - two teaspoons baking powder to a cup of plain flour.

[CKJ]

Can I come over!!! Love home made scones!

Glad your cream was ok, I'm funny with things like that and very rarely consume dairy anyway!

[OceanPrincess]

Duh, check the tin. Didn't think of that!!

Thanks N2L
