Morning all.
Advice on the jar says use within 3 days. How long do you leave it before using it?
Until it's pasta safe date.
I get it in tins.
Then you can leave the can-alone-if you want.
A couple of weeks..
As lng as there's no mould growing on it it's fair game in our house
If you're worried mark the date on the jar with a penne
I'm alfredo it'll be off already.
Decant and freeze instead?
Until the smell or appearance looks wrong.. Should be fine for at least a week I'd have thought.
That's just spagulation.
I write on the label the date I open it, using a felt-tipped penne.
It's pretty acidic, so it just ripens a bit with age. Spoon the mouldy layer off the top, add lots of garlic for good luck, and Bob's your uncle.
Opened pasta sauce in fridge
How big is your fridge ? 😆 😆 😆
When did you make it?
This is STW, so it's surely not a bought sauce...
APD
The penicillin on thevtop will take care of the bugs underneath. Crack on.
If you're using shop bought pasta sauce, I suggest you throw it away and hop on the peasant wagon to Iceland and just buy yourself some ready meals.
Just to be extra [s]poor[/s] safe
I never bother with dates.. Smell/look has kept me alive all these years 🙂
Iceland you say..... .
If it's not got fluff it's fine. Even if there's a bit of fluff round the edges it is still probably OK, just try to avoid using that bit.
Nothing like a good game of Danger! Pesto
Wonder which chaps wont be doing the catering on the next STW event 😯
Please don't make me imagine what a representative 'STW event' would entail (apart from amazing puns, obvz).
previous poster is right, acidic tomato sauce will last a very long time.
