How long can a mayonnaise based dip last in the refrigerator?

Until you take it out!!!

there is a date on the package..check it. The standard rule of thumb is one week after it's opened.


* Obviously this only applies to commercial products, if the OP was inquiring about homemade dips, this is not a viable answer. Commercially prepared products will have a best before date on them, and may have addiitonal information on the package to indicate how long it stays fresh after the seal has been broken. For dips prepared at home, I'm certain the length of time will depend on both the nature of and freshness of the ingredients.

How long can an unopened gallon of milk stay out of the refrigerator before spoiling?

Fluid milk is very sensitive to temperature increases. It should be unrefrigerated only for that short trip from the store to home. The time at which it actually is spoiled will depend upon the initial bacterial load and the amount of time at whatever temperature. For every degree above 40°F as a storage temperature for the milk, plan on one day reduced shelf life. The milk will be spoiled when you decide it is no longer edible.

Do food containing preservatives really stay fresh longer than foods without them?

That depends. If you want foods that last longer, and are cheaper buy foods with preservatives. If you want foods that are healthier( foods with preservatives are most likely going to have extra fat, sugar and salt ) and are natural in taste, ( Some artificially preserved foods have an artificial taste that isn't as satifying as the real thing ) buy foods without artificial preservatives. It depends. Generally, avoid anything with nitrates. Some of the preservatives have been shown to have no negative effects, but nitrates seem to cause problems.

If the refrigerator and freezer have been working properly, it would be extremely unusual to have gnats in both. I can think of a few possibilities:

# The freezer and refrigerator have been turned off for a while. (gaskets loosen) # Someone leaves the doors open way too long. # The refrigerator is set too warm and the gnats come in with the food. (very unlikely) You might check to make sure they are indeed gnats and not fruit flies.

That is where the condenser coil is. The condenser coil is supposed to be hot. Be sure to keep it clean so it functions optimally.

Is it safe to use canned pumpkin from the refrigerator that has been unopened?

yes, it is safe to eat out of an open can that has been in the refrigerator. Because I do it myself some of the time but, not all the time. Make sure that if you are going to do this so. Then the canned food item must have not been sitting in the refrigerator for too long periods of time to the point that the canned food item is unsafe to eat. For, example over two months or years, if this is so, then it must be thrown away.
