6 Things in Your Kitchen You<br />Should Immediately Trash When it comes to your kitchen, it’s easy<br />to forget when you bought certain items<br />and whether they’ve expired or not. Here are six items in your kitchen that you should<br />toss out in order to make room for fresher foods. 1. Old Spices<br /><br />Old spices lose their potency over time<br />and won’t add much flavor to your next meal.<br /> 2. Cooking Oil<br /><br />Using oil that is a few months old can cause<br />your food to taste unpleasantly sharp or sour. <br /> 3. Questionable Leftovers<br /><br />Leftovers that are more than three or<br />four days old can cause food poisoning,<br />even if they still seem safe to eat. <br /> 4. Baking Powder<br />If baking powder isn’t stored properly once it's<br />opened, the moisture from the air can impact<br />its quality and ruin your next baking adventure. <br /> 5. Pasta Sauce<br /><br />Old pasta sauce can accumulate mold<br />in as little as two weeks, which can<br />potentially lead to food poisoning. <br /> 6. Wine<br /><br />Even when it’s been re-corked and refrigerated,<br />wine will begin to oxidize after a few days and<br />cause an unpleasant "bruised-apple" smell.
