What to do with sour cream if the expiration date expires: the trick of experienced housewives

It happens that food products stored for future use begin to deteriorate before something can be cooked from them.

It’s good if the expiring expiration date was noticed by the housewife in advance, then even sour cream can be saved, which usually only needs to be thrown into the trash.

To save on trips to the store, try freezing sour cream on the advice of experienced housewives.

How to freeze

This can be done both with the product in its original packaging, and already opened.

If the bag of sour cream is opened, then pour the product into an airtight container.

The main thing in such a situation is to avoid the penetration of air into the mold with the product to be frozen.

If we are talking about a large volume, then it would be wiser to pour sour cream into bags so as not to defrost the entire volume at once.

After that, it remains only to remove the product in the freezer.

What to cook

Frozen sour cream can just as well be used for baking (but not all) or soups. Where you definitely shouldn't use such a product is in dishes that require a uniform consistency, such as sauces and side dishes.

Do not store frozen sour cream for longer than 3 months.

Before using the product, defrost sour cream by placing it in the fridge in advance.
