Can You Freeze Canned Biscuits?

Just because you  can  doesn't mean you should. By  Patricia S York   April 24, 2020 We don’t always take direction well, do we? A can of sweetened condensed milk carries the warning “do not heat in can” but we did it anyway. A few years ago, it was all the rage to boil those cans for hours to make thick and creamy caramel pies similar to the pies sold by a popular restaurant chain. The same thing goes for canned biscuits. The can clearly states, “do not freeze,” yet some cooks still do it. Maybe there was a sale at the grocery store, or they just like to buy in bulk, but thrifty shoppers are determined to freeze canned biscuits. Absolutely nothing beats the taste and texture of  homemade biscuits , but using inexpensive and convenient  canned biscuits in a recipe  can be a valuable shortcut, so it is understandable why some rebels might want to hoard a few cans in the  freezer  for last minute baking projects.

FDA Rolls Back Egg Labelling Requirements to Speed Up Supply

** This article, written by Tim Nelson, was published on msn's site. We are not wild about this new process as many may take advantage. We would rather have less and know exactly what we are eating. ** by  Tim Nelson Maybe it’s because we’re stuck at home with more time to eat a complete breakfast. Maybe it’s because everyone is baking something with them. Whatever the reason, eggs have been flying off the shelves since we began sheltering in place. That’s led to such an extreme spike in prices that some people felt they’d be better off raising their own hens. In an effort to help keep shelves stocked, the Food and Drug Administration is temporarily rolling back some of its labelling policies in the hopes that eggs can get to retailers faster. According to a policy document, the FDA will “provide temporary flexibility regarding certain packaging and labelling requirements for shell eggs sold in retail food establishments so that industry can meet the increased demand
