Question 9

When does Mushroom Risotto expire?

Accepted Answer

Assuming this Mushroom Risotto is homemade, it should be fine to consume within 3-5 days when properly stored in the fridge. If you have a store-bought, unopened package of Mushroom Risotto, you should abide by the printed expiration date on the packaging.

This dish is not generally recommended for freezing as the creamy texture can become grainy, although, in a pinch, you can freeze it for up to 1-2 months.

Question 10

How do you tell if Mushroom Risotto is bad?

Accepted Answer

First, pay attention to the smell. If the risotto gives off a sour or otherwise unpleasant odor, this is a good indication that it's spoiled. The appearance can also clue you in. If you notice significant discoloration, or any signs of mold, don't eat the risotto. Finally, taste is a good way to tell, but it should be your last resort after checking the other indications. If the risotto has a sour or unpleasantly bitter taste, it's safe to say it should be discarded.
