Expert Tips & FAQs

• Dried herbs can last for up to 2 years. To get the longest life from your herbs, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. A dark cabinet or pantry is best. Once the blend is no longer fragrant, its shelf time has reached its limit. Glass is preferable over plastic for storing spices and seasonings as it isn’t porous.

The recipes on this blog are tested with a conventional gas oven and gas stovetop. It’s important to note that some ovens, especially as they age, can cook and bake inconsistently. Using an inexpensive oven thermometer can assure you that your oven is truly heating to the proper temperature. If you use a toaster oven or countertop oven, please keep in mind that they may not distribute heat the same as a conventional full sized oven and you may need to adjust your cooking/baking times. In the case of recipes made with a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, or other appliance, a link to the appliances we use is listed within each respective recipe. For baking recipes where measurements are given by weight, please note that results may not be the same if cups are used instead, and we can’t guarantee success with that method.
