Store
your seasonings in plastic bags, glass jars or stainless steel
containers,
not in paper or cardboard in order to keep them fresh longer.
Keep your seasonings in a cool, dry place out of sunlight. Do not keep
over the range or near heat.
Refrigerate or freeze your seasonings to keep them fresh longer.
Do your seasonings still have flavor? For whole species, crush a
small amount and sniff to see if it smells fresh. Check ground
seasonings every 6 months. Sniff to see if they smell fresh.
When buying seasonings, buy small amounts in the "bulk" section of the
grocery stores or
buy seasoning packed in plastic containers or plastic bags and transfer
them to an
airtight container. Put a label with date on the seasoning and store in
a cool place.
When using seasoning always start with a small amount. You can always
add more if needed, but you can not remove it. |
