  • Hi

    I made spaghetti bolognese yesterday ( sauce from jar), a lot left over which is now in fridge.

    Would this be safe to eat tomorrow night? That is two days after its been cooked?

    Thank you for your help in advance!!

  • I would reheat it until it is piping hot and then happily eat it, once it had cooled down.

  • Hi all,

    Lurking in the bottom of my freezer are some frozen chicken breast fillets (bought frozen). On the bag it says for best results cook from frozen, however I want to use them up in my slow cooker. Chicken, bacon and mushroom in a red wine gravy was what I was planning.

    Will it be ok to use them and if so should I put them in frozen or let them defrost. I was hoping to cook them today and reheat it tomorrow for dinner. I have never used this type of chicken before and don't want to risk poisoning us or anything.

    Can anyone help or advise please?

    Changed my post...

    You can put frozen chicken in a slow cooker and be safe...

  • Thank you popperwell, I was resigned to cooking chicken separate according to packet instructions and adding to slw cooked veg and gravy at the end.

    But will give it a go now.

    My mother-in-law has (kindly?) given me an unopened jar of honey...but the expiry date is June 2012!

    Does anyone know if it's still good to use and, if so, would you eat it?

    Cheers, Birdy.

    Birdy, I'm pretty sure the date on honey is a best before not a use by..?
    If it was me then i would still use it if it looked/smelled/tastes ok.
