How to Tell if Milk is Bad

One question I used to frequently see on Question and Answer websites such as the now defunct Yahoo Answers were ones about how to tell if milk is bad, as well as how long after the expiry date can you drink milk.

This article is here to try to give you a clear answer on how to tell if milk is bad, and probably best not to drink.

The most obvious way is to simply look at the label on the container, but even that is no guarantee it is still safe to.

Home Cooking Trends 2023

I remember seeing somewhere recently that cooking air fryer recipes in an air fryer kitchen gadget has apparently fallen out of favour.

In it’s place the humble old microwave is apparently the new money saving cooking trend. There are many good ones available from brands such as Panasonic, Samsung, Toshiba and Sharp.

How to Cook Rice

Stuff Needed:

  • Long Grain Rice (about half a cup per person is usually enough)
