Cooking With Expired Food: When Does Food Really Go Bad? | Zero Waste Kitchen - Part 2

From use-by to best before, 80% of Singaporeans are confused by the terms printed on their food labels. What do these labels mean? And what happens if the product is past its expiry date? A typical household in Singapore throws away an average of 19.6kg of expired food every year. But does all of it have to be thrown away?
Join our two kitchen amateurs, Kelvin and Ridhwan, as they go on a zero-waste journey to uncover when expired foods should actually be discarded.
With the guidance of Chef Isaac Henry, our boys will learn essential pantry management, how to decode printed labels, and even hacks on how to use expired foods in everyday cooking!
With hardly any cooking experience, how will Kelvin and Ridhwan fare in a zero waste cook-off against each other, using only expired goods?

my house rule is so long as it doesn't smell bad, its edible lol

[@jexter22]

me too I eat still eventhough past due date provided it's still unopened

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

I am honestly very experienced in cooking expired food. Everything has been taught in this video and that is definitely the golden rule. I will always steer clear from keeping any food made from cooked flour that was kept at room temperature for some time... like cooked pasta... that is the dangerous kind that you shouldn't keep more than a day in the fridge.

[@stevethea5250]

Why dangerous

[@MichelleQuintiaVLOGS]

This documentary proved that what I was doing at home is right. 😆 that’s cuz I hate wasting food too! 😉👌👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@youtubeprofile2070]

This is such an amazing series; I especially love this episode. It's really informative, it's really funny (Isaac's facial expressions make it even better) and it's short enough for casual watching. Kudos to the Zero Waste Kitchen team. Please do many more of this! 👍👍👍

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

That day I got a chicken pastrami at 80% off because it is expiring the next day. So what I did was I put it in the freezer for 5 days until I decided to use them. So I just pan fry them lightly, let them cool and then use them in my salads.

[@jessdior8177]

Why would you keep expired items in your fridge in the first place??

[@hungrybesties]

Awesome! Looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day

[@HotRod16]

Meaningful and fun video especially cooking competition part. Good info. Thanks.

[@debwilson5236]

What a lovely bunch of people so respectful and the male chef is very handsome too ❤

[@MegaSportsluver]

Me, the Queen of Expired Food since sec school *clicks immediately* XD

[@luckycharm8888]

My house rule is if date says its expired throw it sway! Family safety first, money csn be earned if you are healthy and you are happy if loved ones are all alive!🙏

[@stevethea5250]

14:37 🤣 The funniest zero waste battle yet

[@MassDynamic]

for bread, molding might have already begun but it's not yet very visible..

[@comeonsense2022]

Hopefully nobody in the household is allergic to penicillin. It can be deadly for some folks.

[@comeonsense2022]

I ate bread from the freezer with no signs of mold that tasted like dirt even after I toasted it.

[@joywonky]

I need more of these videos!!!!

[@cboy5oc]

This was helpful, but I am interested in what nutrients are maintained/lost and at what rates. I am guessing even if a food lost most of it's micronutrients, it would still have calories and macronutrients. Is that true?

[@ahheng6402]

Near expiry & expire food is different. I try to buy & use both of them , I can save a lot. Some food do much longer shelves life like dried food, can food & fermented food. Choose by experience for fresh food.

[@TitoTimTravels]

The expiry date is more of a marketing thing, than health. But... here in the Philippines even brand new meat, well within its date, may not pass the smell test. There is no concept of a cold chain here. That is why Filipinos tend to overcook all meats until super dry - to kill any bacteria that may be in it. Bummer, but such is life. 😎

[@asperneto]

When you have Chinese ancestry, nothing goes to waste, really... but very important is the smell, then if it looks it has discoloration, then throw them away. I won't even taste it 😅

[@godsamazinggrace5331]

Buy and use what you need Storing excessive food items waiting for them to be expired Is Ridiculous!!

[@weegwekng9923]

that's right.

[@angeleusebio9451]

Interesting nice featured episode

[@wasabi6507]

Even there is a bit of mould it's best to discard as u can't see with ur naked eyes it has spread to the rest and cause health issues

[@Nanee907]

So how long would the meat seasoning last if kept in a regular spice jar at room temperature?

[@AW-tc4hy]

Singapore food standard is lousy. Only shows bbd or exp. EU require production date in addition to bbd/exp. So the canned food you buy could be 10yrs old. Scary

[@abm672]

I ate 8 months old yoghurt and it was still ok. No food poisoning or anything 🙂

[@marikom5505]

I have 2 friends that cant seem to taste if food has gone off so they toss at exactly the date printed on the labels or make me taste when I visit. I hate being their tester

[@simplyme3306]

it's true there was a couple of times I couldn't taste that my egg mayo bread or something has turned bad and I just continue eating till someone said that it's spoiled then I realised the slightly pungent taste LOL. Guess I was too hungry each time.

[@willyyoung5512]

A lot of food are being thrown out and end up in the trash bin, even if it is still edible while the have nots are left starving .

[@raykenley]

There is a huge different between expired and best before date.Expired you need to trash it no matter what,unless you keep it in the fridge or freezer. For best before date,it will most likely eatable even it is over the date.You can even keep it in the freezer for another year.

[@aliciachristopher6506]

I just pick the mold off cheese and bread and eat the non moldy bits.

[@teckjiasee5671]

I am a bit amazed by the fact that the guy can't cook instant noodles... I mean... It's instant noodle 🍜...

[@TitoTimTravels]

They are instant noodles... what could go wrong? I don't know, but he found a way ha ha 😎

[@Js-hf7oz]

This absurd... If you want to avoid waste, cook less... IT IS NOT OK TO PREP A LOT OF FOOD AND LATER TRY TO BE CREATIVE ON WHAT MAKE WITH THE GARBAGE! THIS IS WRONG!

[@TitoTimTravels]

You mean buy less. These were ingredients that were expired, not cooked foods. 😎

[@ramthian]

Yummy

[@rameessalim2492]

building compliance for upcoming global food shortage ?

[@KaranKumar-di9fw]

You know it. So many disgusting, extreme cheapskates justifying eating expired food.

[@x-tinac1604]

where is part 1?

[@livinglifeinsingapore5746]

Mini nikola jovic

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

My nose and eyes are a good indication. Tasting is very risky, next minute, oops too late.

[@aziris7257]

Singaporeans: Eeww, mold on meat! Throw it away! Americans: Mold on meat? Sell as premium dry-age meat!

[@comeonsense2022]

If the expired food taste like bitter dirt then that was mold...

[@MrBoliao98]

Bread expire more than 2 days, I will check for mould, and then toast it then still eat. Cos bopian, nowadays a white loaf is $2

[@sct4040]

I freeze the loaf and take out slices as needed.

[@NotLikeWhatYouThink]

Make pudding roti/bread lor..aiyaa..its easy to make just google la recipe.

[@rollinghippo2940]

U still haven't kicked the bucket yet?

[@MrBoliao98]

@@rollinghippo2940 I didn't even get food poisoning

[@weegwekng9923]

I do not agree with using expired ingredients like this. I find this very misleading. It can lead to food poisoning! Zero waste kitchen --- as the name suggests, it should be a kitchen with no garbage, no plastic waste. It should be said that it is a kitchen without a trash can. . . But I saw the host tell his friends that if the food smells bad, just throw away , even the packaging bags ! ! ! Doesn't that create more garbage? In a zero-waste kitchen, all food waste and discarded parts are put directly into the compost bin. so that they can be converted into fertilizers that plants can absorb. . . (Instead of teaching people to eat food that is about to be damaged and rotten!)
