    what do you guys reckon bin them or what ?
  • Well... they won't kill you! They just might not be as nice as they should be.

    I'd add them to something like a chilli or spag bol - saves waste and will bulk out the meal!

    They're fine. Tinned stuff, carrots, no problem whatsoever.

    Get them down you!

    They will disintergrate in the slow cooker unless you add them right at the end. They are precooked in the tin.

    Yes I would say open them and drain them and if they look and smell o.k. then eat them,but add to sc just before serving just to warm through or they may fall apart

    Tinned stuff lasts for YEARS.

    As long as the tin is undamaged, they would probably be okay in 2015 !!!

    eat 'em.
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)
