I would store it in a bucket for best shelf life and to avoid any moisture getting in, etc.

I used my powered eggs for the first time in a chocolate chip cookie recipe this past week. Wonderful results. I think they were better than cookies I have made with actual eggs. Thank you for all your hard work on this site.

There is an instruction page near the front of the binder file that
should tell you exactly where to put everything!

OKAY I LOVE THE BABY STEPS. My question is where do I put them in the binder? I started putting them in the front but they seem to fit in different sections. Did I miss the directions?

Blue Feather Canned Butter is WONDERFUL!! My dad and I shared a case about 4 years ago. Last summer, when I was at my parents home, they wanted grilled cheese sandwiches. They did not have any butter so I went down stairs to get one of his canned butters. The perfect opportunity to try this butter out. It was soooooo creamy and tasted better than any butter I have ever had. My mom could not believe how good the sandwiches were. I would highly recommend storing this butter.

To avoid brown sugar from hardening put it into a container after opening and place a piece of bread in the container. The bread will not mold. We have kept the same piece of bread in our container for months. If your brown sugar is hard you can still put it into a container with a piece of bread. This will bring moisture back to the brown sugar.

I agree that expiration dates are unreliable, however, I have had Olive Oil go rancid several times over the last 10 years. I keep it stored in my cool/dark food storage room too. What am I doing differently?

No, you probably already bought it, but so did I. Then I quickly forgot about it and continued making my own buttermilk with regular milk and vinegar. Oops. Live and learn.

Canned butter is available at many food storage outlets. The best brand is Blue Feather, made in New Zealand, and it’s the cheapest. It will store for many years and the taste of it is wonderful. They also make canned cheese. There are many testimonials to its longevity and safety. And, of course, since it’s sold in the USA, it has expiration dates on it, which you can completely ignore. Store in a cool place…it does NOT need refrigeration until opened (and even then, most butter won’t spoil at room temperature for weeks).
