Hi

Title says it all i guess!

Just found half a bottle of red in a cupboard - have no idea how old it is - how long would you say it stays good for?

(i imagine asked before but after a search couldnt find a relevant thread)

Thanks

In our house there is no such thing as left over Wine or Chocolate so I am unable to help you.

A day or two, that's all.

Thanks for that!:rolleyes:

To be fair its normally unlikely to last more than an hour or so but was hiding at the back of some other stuff in the cupboard!

No help sorry!

To drink 2 or 3 days tops but you could use it in cooking. If I have any left I use it in cooking for up to a month or so.

Taste it 1st to make sure it has not turned to vinegar

Hi gazza,

There's an earlier thread that may help so I've added your thread to it to keep the replies together.

Have 2 freezers so wanna put them both to use. So i've read onions,garlic,peppers can just be chopped and put in freezer. Potatoes need to be blanched or cooked, chips blanched in oil. Brussels sprouts blanched then frooze. Carrots have read you can either just chop and freeze or blanche. what about sliced green beans? I love cauliflower fresh but not frozen so would i be best buying it frozen or does the fresh stuff freeze ok. Any help would be great as really need to save some money. Many thanks in advance.

Oh can i make up yorkshire puddings and freeze them or would they go soggy. Does the food have to put straight into water or can you steam them? As i steam everything. Thanks again.
