Does glad wrap contain PVC?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It most certainly does not! Glad Cling Wrap contains low density polyethylene. Saran Premium is also based on this. The original Saran wrap does contain PVC. PVC is oh so very harmful to the environment. If we take care of the earth, the earth will take care of us. Just remember (don't forget), "green is the new black"!

Can dry pasta be stored in refrigerator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no reason to store dried pasta in the refrigerator. Dried pasta can be kept for about two years if it's stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. However, pasta much older than that may still be quite edible, especially if it's been properly cared for.

While refrigerators are both dark and cool, they are not an exactly energy-efficient location to store a product that is very shelf-stable outside of refrigeration.

How long can ground turkey be used past experation date refrigerated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unless specifically indicated, the date on the package is probably a "sell by" date. Handled and stored properly, it is likely good for a couple days beyond that. Use your senses. If it feels slimy or smells odd (yeasty, ammonia), then don't use it.

Can long grain rice expire?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A bottle of wine has a tapered "neck" to minimize the surface area of wine in contact with air. Air is bad. Oxygen "oxidizes" elements of the wine . Wine also creates or releses d=gases on fillinbg that purge air from the space above the wine. Once you open a bottle thes gases could escape and be exchanged with air. Once you remove wine from a "full bottle" ( filled into the neck) you are definitely introducing air that will destroy the wine. Cheers! Peter

Actually, I have had different results with different bottles of wine. Some are going downhill within 1 or 2 days of being open, but I had a 2009 Riesling that was great to drink after nearly 2 weeks! But this is not always the case, I'm sure.

How long can different foods be kept before they go bad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the food. Potentially hazardous food (eggs, milk, meat, chicken, fish, etc.) should not be unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours, but less time is better. Butter and margarine and many condiments will be OK for a longer period of time. When in doubt, throw it out.

What is the shelf life of Nutrisystem dinners?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I called Nutrisystem and was told that the dates shown on the cakes, cookies, bars, and cereals is the manufacture date. Most items are good for one year. I was told cakes and muffins are good for 7 months from this date. Example: cake shows a coded date of SF11298 B2- this would be manufactured on November 29, 2008 - It would be good for 7 months following this date. Scrambled eggs - OF02189 - This was manufactured on February 18, 2009 and has a shelf life of 1 year. Harvest Nut bar - NF11118A, manufactured on November 11, 2008 and has a shelf life of 1 year.

It can be stored on the shelf in an airtight container in a dry area that is not exposed to extreme temperatures. Dried pasta can be stored indefinitely and still be safe to eat but the USDA recommends storing dried pasta for no more than two years to obtain the best quality.

After made, pancakes can stay good for a while. A couple weeks can pass and most likely they'll still be fresh. You have to freeze them in the freezer though. Put the leftover pancakes in a plastic Ziploc bag and put it in the freezer.

Does pasta come from a seed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pasta is made with grain flours, the most common of which are wheat and rice. Alterrnative grains are sometimes used for more nutritional value or to avoid allergic reactions. In addition, some pastas have flavoring and color in the form of green, yellow, or red vegetables. This may slightly increase the nutritional value, and is a fun way to help a child broaden their palate and encourage them, in to try new and different foods.

Can you freeze uncooked brown rice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, most definitely. Freezing brown rice, or at least refrigerating it is recommended because the bran and germ go rancid quickly. The same applies for whole wheat and in a completely different department ... walnuts. Though check the source as I have found that the above products are often stale and rancid before I get them home.

How should dry milk be stored?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the packet is unopened and kept out of sunlight, it will last almost indefinitely. (At least 4 years, most likely more.) If the packet is opened but with an airtight seal (e.g in a tupperware box), it should last for at least a year. If the packet is opened and not resealed thoroughly, it will last a couple of weeks.

Once the dried milk has been rehydrated into milk, it will last approximately 3 days refrigerated.
