Question 9

When does Kettle Corn expire?

Accepted Answer

When unopened and stored properly, a store-bought bag of kettle corn can last around 1-2 months past its printed expiration date. However, once opened, it's best consumed within 1 to 2 weeks to maintain its crispness. If you make homemade kettle corn, it usually lasts 1 to 2 days at room temperature. It is not commonly frozen, as freezing may lead to loss of its distinctive crunchy texture.

Question 10

How do you tell if Kettle Corn is bad?

Accepted Answer

Given the sweet and salty nature of kettle corn, it's crucial for its freshness to be maintained to get the best flavours. If it's gone bad, kettle corn may develop a stale, off smell, and its texture may become excessively chewy or soggy. Additionally, any sign of mold indicates that kettle corn has definitely spoiled, and it should be discarded immediately. Kettle corn that changes color or gives off a sour smell has also gone bad.

Question 11

Tips for storing Kettle Corn to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Store the kettle corn in an airtight container or ziplock bag to protect it from air and moisture. Make sure the container is completely dry before storing the kettle corn, to prevent the introduction of moisture.

• Always keep kettle corn in a cool and dark place, away from heat or sunlight.

• If stored in a pantry or kitchen cabinet, make sure the area is dry and clean to avoid attracting pests.

• Consuming kettle corn within a few days of opening the bag is the best way to ensure it stays fresh.

• Avoid grabbing kettle corn directly with your hand from the storage bag or container. Use a spoon or cup instead to keep it free from any water, oil or dirt that can be on your hands.
