Table of Condiments That Periodically Go Bad
Sometimes I just don’t know when my mustard is going to expire. Or what if I make a hollandaise sauce from scratch - how long can I keep it around? Well, have no fear, the “Table of Condiments that Periodically Go Bad” is here to help you through your terribly important concerns.
I know this is a little bit hard to read, but I thought it was super cute so I just had to share. To view it larger, simply click on the photo or right here. While this information isn’t guaranteed to be accurate, the ballpark estimates are actually quite useful!

Posted by melissa at May 13th, 2008, 7:13 pmThis is so cool. I don’t know how many times I have questioned whether a condiment is good or not. Thanks!

Posted by kittie at May 14th, 2008, 8:18 amThis is great. I have it bookmarked.
Posted by cookinpanda at May 15th, 2008, 3:48 amI saw a similar one for desserts but I could find it available anymore.
Posted by veron at May 15th, 2008, 2:12 pmThat’s a great table - thanks! Although after perusing it I see that our refrigerator contains many overdue items in it… hmm. I thought soy sauce lasted about 20 years!

Posted by Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) at May 19th, 2008, 5:01 amLove your list. I do, however, have one question. Is the expiration date on the honey accurate? When taking a SafeServ class I was told that honey is the one food that never expires.
Posted by Karen at May 21st, 2008, 3:46 amThanks for this. It’s very useful as a starting point. I usually refer to “Timing is Everything,” by Jack Piccolo. That book has a list of shelf lifes. Great book to grab used online.
