Still Tasty?

I have discovered the ultimate internet tool to determine if your food is still safe to eat. It is stilltasty.com, "Your Ultimate Shelf Life Guide". This handy search engine has all the answers - just type in the food you are wondering about, click the most appropriate option, and read about your storage options and how long the food keeps. It's that simple! This website lists everything from canned spinach to fresh lobster to olive oil to homemade banana chip muffins. For most food options, several different categories are listed. Usually these categories include options such as canned, jarred, bottled, commercially purchased, and homemade. There are also options for whether the product has been opened or not. In addition to this handy search engine, the site also offers guides to food storage, tips on freshness, and answers to frequently asked questions. I find this site very useful, and it has never steered me wrong! So, check it out, it may save you from wasting a lot of food. Just remember the golden rule: When in doubt, throw it out!
