Hi everyone!

 

How long is meringue powder good for once opened?  

 

Thanks,

Hmm.  Mine has a Best Before date of 12/14/2012 printed on the bottom of the container.  I don't remember when I bought it, but I know it was well over a year ago.  I don't use it much anymore - mostly as gumpaste glue.

 

Um...I guess I had better look at getting a new container.

Kathleen,

 

It's been years since I've used mine. LOL I guess I need to suck it up and buy a fresh can.

I recently had cause to look at the date on mine , I only use it when I make royal icing from scratch and then just a scant nail full.  I did realise I had been using it for five years. I did go and buy a new container .

Chellescake,

 

Yeah I really don't use it.. It's gone, just to be on the safe side.
