Question I made some chicken broth from scratch, using the remains of a whole chicken. I refrigerated it upon completion in a plastic container, but forgot to put it in the freezer. It's been in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks now. If I bring it to a boil, can I safely use it for a gravy base?
Answer Michael,
How are you doing? We both know that this should have been in the freezer. But this broth has been in the refrigerator too long. Re-boiling the broth will not reduce the bacteria, and this has been refrigeated to long, throw it out and be safe. For more Food Storage Info visit
