Really helpful - I do store ingredients rather than mixes, but just realized that how I put them together is mostly in my head. It’s hard to think when any sort of crisis hits, so … it’s time to turn all that into recipes. 👍 Kylene, you and Johnathan are excellent teachers and guides. I hope you know that you are deeply appreciated. 🙏❤️

When your belly is scraping your spine with hunger, it won't matter if it smells or taste funny. As long as it's not poison, you will be glad to have it. I grew up eating home canned meats and vegetables. My 92 year old mother taught us that when times are hard, you be grateful for every mouthful you get. JS.

That's why I vacuum pack flour, rice, beans in jars and store in a cool dark dry location. And you never need to store something for a long long time because you should be rotating your stock.

Thx for the info. I had pancake mix go bad, I now just store ingredients for pancakes

Wonderful information. Thanks for sharing and thanks to the person who asked this question.

Rising agent goes bad over time. Just keep baking powder or soda & salt on hand

Kylene: First consideration is the fat, second consideration is the leavening agent. I have used Bisquick that is 4 years old, but the leavening agent(baking powder) had lost much of its ability to rise. I added and additional 1-1 1/2 tsp. per batch of product that I used. So the short answer is, it still tasted ok after 4 years, but did not rise well. I would not recommend long term storage of that product. 4 years was really stretching the limit on quality and taste. Even when stored under ideal conditions. Your suggestion to store the components separately is great, so that one of the ingredients doesn't spoil the whole batch that could happen in a combined product.

Baking powder lasts only about 2 years and OAs should not make a difference. Tradition baking powder is a combination of baking soda and cream of tartar that will store separately for decades. Mixed together they will react. You did a video on baking soda. I would note that on things like pancakes where you use an acid (like buttermilk) you can use only baking soda as you cook them quickly. BTW cream of tartar is potassium bitartrate and I suspect your NO OA as for the sodium bicarbonate would hold there too.

This was really good. I agree with you too!!!

I sooo needed this info…thx 🙌🏼💗

Really appreciate you taking the time to do these videos. 😊thank-you 🌷

Great job!!!! A question many of have.

Thank you for this important information.

Very good review!

Great advice!

The "old flour" episode remains the favorite for some reason, of all of your videos. It was very informative and it caught a rather rare instance of aged food being opened, prepared, and consumed. Real data to build off, versus speculators from all who call themselves preppers, or experts. But I think my most favorite part of the video was Grandma. I only wished she had offered much more of a response. I am convinced she had aged much better than any of the flour!

I've wanted to know this because of the oils in it plus leavening. I would rather store plain flour and the leavening and fats separately. But 5 years might be useful.

Great video. I was wondering about the baking powder lasting and the fats. Thank you for your great information.

If you vacuum seal it in mason jars it will last for a very long time as long as you store it in a cool, dark ,dry place.

Great information. Flour, levening agent & fats definate store grain & ingredients, then rotate instead for longterm.

Great information

Little things like this make me more appreciative of all these fresh foods we just have gotten used to taking for granted. Someday maybe we will just have to "make do" with what we can scrape together. There was a time when I realized my stored Bisquick would not last, so I began using it to bake up nutritious foods for the chickens. Adding eggs, ground shells, leftover this and that, freezer burn this and that. It was a good binder for "chicken cakes."

Great info

There’s ways to make your own Bisquick online. Tried it and the dumplings were great.

Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

I'm 100% ingredients! So much more versatile.

Can you freeze flour

what about freeze drying it?

Is there a recipe of Bisquick DRY ingredients and when you go to make something then you add the wet ingredients? I tried looking But they ALL said a wet ingreients.

If oxygen absorbers will slow the oils going rancid, will vacuum sealing bags have the same effect? Both using oxygen absorbers or vacuum sealing bags remove/greatly reduce the oxygen in the product.

Only store white flour. And white rice. The other goes bad quickly.

Does the baking powder in a can, unopened, last longer than expiration date? If not, would vacuum sealing help?

I keep my bisque mix in the original container in my refrigerator is that ok. How long will it last?

Have you worked with storing almond flour or any other non wheat flour?

My question too (as someone else asked . . . ) Did you try freeze drying the mix ?

how long can you store ground buckwheat in mylar and oxygen absorber for those who are on a gluten-free diet in cannot eat gluten or wheat products in general

I am assuming, but not certain, that buckwheat, or kasha, can be stored like other grains. Am I correct?

what is the shelf life of baking powder?

I freeze/ refrigerate flour, or vacuum seal.

I could use some help with Baking Soda. I have put several boxes into clear, hard plastic, deoderized, juice bottles. I was concerned about their lifespan if left it in their cardboard boxes. To keep them identified and dark I slid the bottles inside the original boxes. Over all is this good, bad or mehhhh ?

Have had flour go rancid... in cupboard, but takes years. Bugs me though... 🦋

I wouldn’t store it because I wouldn’t eat it, look at the ingredient list ! 🤢

Can you please send me the link for the LDS 10 can strawberries

Best place to store Bisquick is the garbage😅😂.

How long can wheat berries be stored?

Huge question here. Almost five years ago I bought dried mango, dehydrated it more and stored it in mylar with an oxygen absorber. A couple of years later I offered it to my grown children and they said it was not safe to eat. I've researched and found some say it is and some who say botulism. Should I throw it out?

How long do you think Hoosier Hill Heavy Cream Powder, Powdered Cheese, etc. can be stored Longterm. I have reached out to them and no response. Thank you

Is there anything that you shouldn't store in a mylar bag, either with or without an oxygen absorber?

Do you take it out of the original packaging and pour it into the Mylar bags?

Is pancake mix same storage as Bisquick ?

Flour: 2 years tops. After that, really bad taste.

I do enjoy the convenience of Bisquick so this was very helpful. I had been wondering how long it would last in a mylar bag. One of your comments concerned me though. You mentioned that things stored in a #10 can would smell and taste like the can. So are you saying that anything purchased from the LDS store or any other place, in the #10 cans is going to smell and taste like those cans?

You might want to stay away from the Bisquick - it shows right on the box that it contains bioengineered ingredients 👎

bisquick contains GMO s see ingredients
