How long does paella last in the fridge?
If you are making a paella with chicken/rabbit plus shellfish then the deciding factor is that of cooking the rice. The chicken/rabbit fried gently with the shallot/onion and garlic will be at least half cooked before the rice is added (say 20 minutes on a gentle heat). The rice, added together with the chicken stock and white wine, will take, may be, five minutes to come to the boil. Then turned down and cooked gently for around 20 minutes until the rice grain is slightly al dente the shellfish added for a further five minutes or so of cooking i.e until the prawns/langoustines are a nice red colourand the clams/vongole/mussels are steamed open. So around 50 minutes cooking time. But really it's done when it's done; go with the flow!
How to Repair The Water Pipe of an Ice Maker?
Ice makers have a large amount of pressure on them, so if there is a problem with this line, it needs to be fixed immediately. If not, you may go through a lot of water damage in your kitchen. You may need to hire a professional to fix it, but it is possible to do it on your own. It might be a good idea to get a friend to help you move the refrigerator away from the wall.
So, the first thing that you need to do is move the fridge. Every fridge should have a fairly large loop behind it that is made of copper tubing. This will make sure you have room to move it. You need to also check that you are not scraping the flooring as you slide it away from the wall. You should feel around the connection lines for wetness. There may also be bubbles of water coming out a the pipe. This could happen on the refrigerator connection or on the pipe for the cold water. You also need to check that the fridge has the right amount of water pressure, and no bends in the lines.
You should make sure that the valves that allow the water into the fridge are set to open. They may need to be replaced, in which case you can get one that needs a hole drilled, instead of one that has a self-piercing tap. You should write out the model number for your refrigerator, just in case you need to replace a pipe or valve. You just measure the length of the tubing and go to a hardware or home improvement center. You can buy a tubing kit for your ice maker, which should be copper.
The water line should be turned off, along with the pipe that you are going to connect to. Drain out each pipe, so you can start with the kit directions. The line will need to be reconnected, and the water turned back on. Again, you need to check for leaks. If the ice maker still does not work, you should call in a certified professional that deals with refrigerators.

Corn can last two days in the fridge, but its quality deteriorates considerably right from the moment of harvest.

Frozen corn will last ten months.

How long will homemade butter last in the refrigerator?
I worked in a bakery that made huge vats of butter-cream and stored it in 5 gal buckets, out of refrigeration, for up to a week. That being said, if you are using real butter (as opposed to margarine) I would recommend using it as soon as it is made and refrigerating any leftovers within a couple of hours. Not only will you risk spoilage otherwise, but overly soft buttercream is very hard to decorate with.
