Question 1

I have an old package and it says "best by jul2317mud".  does that mean it expired on july 2017?

Accepted Answer

I'd say it means exactly what it reads - the product tastes best if used before July 23, 2017 but it remains usable, just loses some of it taste. The same goes for most expiration dates. Hardly any dry or canned products are actually spoiled on the expiration date. Even medication remains usable, except the active ingredient loses some of its strength. And even milk etc. used 1-2 days after the expiration date remain usable and definitely don't poison you if used beyond expiration. You can taste it if it's no longer ok to use. If, for some reason, there is the slightest trace mold in it, of course, you can't use it -- even before the expiration date. It means you need to thoroughly clean your refrigerator. Well, that's actually a lot more than you wanted to know....

Question 2

Can this be baked, if I use boiling water, then place in the oven?  If so, at what temp and how long?  Thanx!

Accepted Answer

I often use different knorr sides in a casserole. I find it easier to cook the noodles first and cook until they are al dente, firm. Drain the noodles.  Don't add the other ingredients or the sauce to the noodles. Use the noodles in any casserole then add the sauce, etc. There is liquid in the casserole recipe so you don't need the boiled water.  Makes the casserole too runny.   I usually have to modify my casserole recipe so the amount of salt and butter is more realistic. Then cook your casserole as you normally would or as your recipe calls for. The sauce adds so much to any casserole. Everyone gobbles it down. Of course you fix the Knorr sides and add many things to make it it's own casserole and then there's no need for baking it - unless you put it all in a casserole dish and sprinkle bread crumbs or whatever on the top.  Then I would bake it about 225 degrees for about 20 min - 30 min.  Keep an eye on it. Hope all this helps.  Be creative.

Question 3

Why did your Creamy Garlic Shells taste like fish? There was nothing about it that said nasty fish flavor. GAGGGGGGG~

Accepted Answer

You are very right they do taste like fish. Me and my wife agreed and threw them away. I love sushi and ceviche both which are supposed to taste like fish , but not this pasta which is horrible!!!!
