Shelf Life of Cheese

Assalamualaikum.

Baru baru ni saya mencuba recipe Walnut Cheese Brownies dari blog Resipi Citarasawan. Untuk resipi dari Kak Wan sila click di sini. Tapi hari ni saya bukan nak bercerita tentang resipi ni... Resipi ni memang sedap, dan untuk penggemar brownies di luar sana, sila lah cuba resipi ni. Sedap, memang sedap.

Hari ni saya nak bercerita tentang cheese. Mula2 tu rasa seronok sebab bahan2 semua ada. Bila saya tengok stock cream cheese dalam fridge, Ya Allah, ada tiga bungkus cheese yang dah expired. Nasib baik ada satu block cheese yang belom expire, so boleh lah saya meneruskan kerja2 membuat brownies tu.....

Saya rasa satu pembaziran terpaksa buang cheese yang dah expire tu. Jadikan ini satu pengajaran, lain kali jgn beli banyak2 dan simpan dalam fridge. Ini kena selalu check stock dalam fridge dan pantry.....

Saya pun "google" untuk check jangka hayat cheese dan beberapa dairy products. Dairy products ni jangka hayat agak pendek. Bila say checked, rupa2nya sesetengah dari cheese ni masih boleh digunakan walaupun telah melebihi "expiry date" or "best before date". 

Untuk mengetahui dengan lebih lanjut cara2 menyimpan dairy products dan mengenal pasti sama ada products tu masih selamat untuk di makan sila lawati laman web eatbydate


Di sini saya lampirkan jadual jangka hayat untuk beberapa jenis cheese. Walaupun cheese telah mejangkau "best before date" teteapi masih belom berubah warna, tidak berbau, tidak berkulat dan masih lembut, 
In Sya Allah, cheese tu masih boleh di gunakan.

  2. If there's give in the stakes or the form, neither of them are doing their jobs correctly. First, ready mixed concrete in Sunderland can help you get your construction job done faster. Read your warranty carefully, and you'll see that it probably doesn't cover walls with efflorescence.
