Open the windows top and bottom for a couple of hours. Nothing like a bit of fresh air to sweep the smells out.

I would definitely use it later as long as it doesn't have meat in it and is going to be heated before use. I love butternut squash!

Sorry if this has been asked before, so many posts to go through.

I have a new white fleecy jumper that I was given for Christmas and it's grubby round the cuffs already so I was wondering what the best thing to do with it is. I've not tried a normal wash yet, though I do have a WHITE load that I could put in the machine. Should I add some bleach? any advice please.

OH for some reason last night 'forgot' about the pan of potatoes boiling and it boil dry and set on fire!!:eek: :eek: No other damage apart from the pan - cremated!! But the house stinks of smoke!! I've tried febreezing...what else can I do?? Thanks

Ditto opening the windows, or make a nice cake/loaf or something as that smell will overtake the yukky one!

Hi everyone!

If I make some egg mayo today with eggs that go out of date today, will it still be ok to eat for the next couple of days?

Tried the link to sell by dates, etc but it didn't work??

Thanks.

Eggs are fine for a month or two after their date so if it was me I'd make the mayo and be happy to use it for however long you normally use your mayo for. Or I'd keep the egg and use them in something else withing the next week or 3.

Hi all!

If I mix my victoria sponge cake with an electric whisk will it rise more than if I do it by hand?

Thanks!

I don't think so but you will certainly get the job done much quicker and possibly more efficiently.

How many servings should I be getting from 500g of mince if I bulk it out? I made chilli con carne with kidney beans and chick peas (per Jamie Oliver!) and put some lentils in too and I've got 9 servings....is that good or not?
