I was cleaning out the cabinet and found a couple boxes of pic related, both expired. I'm sure they're completely safe to eat but I assume that the baking soda has lost its ability to rise after this time (about 9 months past expiration) and that it'll come out real flat. I was thinking of just adding some baking soda to the mix but I don't know how much is appropriate. Any advice?

just do an expiriment with one box, seperate it into several batches and add different amounts, and youll know for the next boxes

>> No.17855167

>>17855098
It takes two boxes of this to not turn out flat anyways.

>both expired.
bullshit post expiration dates, oh wait you can't because they don't have any.

also unless they have insects in them they never go bad.

"Expired" as in "past their best used by date." I am well aware they are perfectly safe to eat.

you assumed wrong. they would only do that if they got wet.

>> No.17855581

>>17855563
expired and best by dates are completely different one indicates an unsafe product and the other one is just past the date that the manufacturer guarantees the product.

very few foods "expire" foods only become bad when they rot, or go rancid, or contain some bacteria or fungus, but food never goes bad just because a date has gone by.

stop being dumb

I know all of that and I agree with you. I used "expired" as shorthand. I'm not worried about safety or the taste. I made this thread because baking soda loses potency and wanted to see if anybody had some insight on how much soda/powder I could add to make sure it rises how it should. I don't know why half the people online nowadays are intent on picking petty fights and/or proving they're right. Christ almighty. If you don't have an answer to the question then close the thread and don't waste your breath. If that's not good enough for you, eat shit and die.

none, I have used those over a year past their dates and they rose just fine.

if the package is still sealed, the leavening agent should still be effective. i wouldn't bother adding any.

>>17855098
your assumption is correct if too much time passed the baking soda will be inert, they won't rise

I've done this exact thing with the same product

>> No.17856324

I bet it will be fine. I have some of these that are dated 2020 and they rise just fine. You do have to sift through it though, because I do find tiny worms from time to time. No biggie, they will cook up just fine, but if you don't like bugs, then you won't like it

2 tsp baking soda for 3 cups plain cornmeal (from the recipe I use anyway). It shouldn't hurt to add some if you're worried.

Take a tablespoon of the mix and add in some vinegar if you see fizzing it should still be good. Baking poweder and soda are both minerals so they shouldn't go bad unless they have been hit by some form of ambient acid in the environment. Corn meal could taste a bit off from age though but a bit more sugar should help if so but it should be edible.
