We have used it in cereal when we were out of milk. It is not bad and better than some of the soy products out there. Also check this link (below) regarding cooking/baking with non-dairy creamer.
You can use a little of it for flavor. But non-dairy creamer is just that, non dairy. The fat in milk that you're avoiding by using creamer is whats vital to creating a creamy, smooth icecream. I would recomend only using creamer as a flavor enhancer, not the entire base.
i wouldn't if i was you there could be all sorts of bacteria and you might get food poisoning
Under normal circumstances, the best buy date is a guideline to the retailer of the date to sell the product by to allow time for you to use the product at home. Usually the product has approximately two good weeks of shelf life left after that sell-by date.
Yes. You can use non-dairy creamer, have milk with the lactose processed out, take dairy supplements, use alternative milks (soymilk, coconut milk, almond milk, or rice milk), or omit milk altogether.
Mine doesn't! As a Brew Crew member, I use Coffee-Mate powdered creamer and it dissolves perfectly!
Creamer for coffee is fattening. Anything with the word cream in it contains rich dairy, and therefore there is milk-fat involved. If you use a small amount it is not very fattening, and there are claims it will prevent the coffee from staining your teeth.
The first ingredient in most non-dairy creamers is water, then sugar, then palm oil. There is 2% or less of a milk derivative (not milk) so my thinking is that these products do not need to be refrigerated. I have left these products out for days at a time and never gotten sick. I did have a roommate who claimed she got diarrhea from it, but she was also changing to a vegan diet at the time. I do use up my creamer fairly quickly, so that might also be a contributor as to why my "non-dairy" (keyword??) creamer had never gone bad.
Sell-by is the date the store is supposed to be responsible for getting rid of it by. Use-by is the date guranteed safe to eat by, but they are supposed to be moddest and last beyond the expiration date (the use-by date).
The date by which the manufacturer or shop should have sold the goods. After this date they should not be on the shelves for sale. This sell by date is NOT a use by date. The use by date tells the customer not to use the product after this date because it is now no longer fit to use. This is particularly important for medicines and perishable foodstuff.
No, I have been down to where I wanted a cake and had all the ingredients but milk. I used water and added an extra bit of butter and an extra egg, but the cake turned out very well, perhaps not as rich, but delicious none the less. Also if you are a coffee drinker and you use Non-Dairy creamer in your coffee, you can actually add about 1/4 cup of the Non-Dairy Creamer to your dry ingredients and use water in place of the milk. Again, not as rich, but still very delicious.
Yes, it should be good after the sell by date, as long as it isn't too old.
