Can Sugar Go Bad?
Someone wanted to know if sugar can go bad. According to the October issue of Real Simple
Flour is more of a problem. If you're like me, you use plenty of flour in cooking and baking. Again, use the airtight container in a cool, dry spot. I have my grandmother's tins for flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the third tin used to hold cookies but now holds sticky rice (uncooked, of course). Are you using whole-wheat flour or other whole-grains? Keep those in a big freezer bag and in the freezer--inside a Tupperware container to keep the bag from getting punctured.
What about baking powder and baking soda? I hate to say when I was young I was known to user the baking soda out of the box in the fridge. Good lordy, learn from my mistakes! That box is there to absorb bad odors--and whatever you're baking will taste like bad smells. Ieew. Use one for the fridge and one in the cupboard. And what about odors in the cupboard? I put my box in a zip-lock baggie to keep it fresh. Real Simple says Baking Soda is good for two years unopened, one year if opened. And baking powder is easy--it has a use-by date printed on the can. Why didn't I ever know that?
They didn't address powdered sugar, which for me always tastes like gym socks and I have to get a new bag if ever I need it. So of course, I never make anything that requires it.
What are your tips for storing powdered sugar?

I read somewhere that sugar is the only food that can survive a nuclear war.
Since I don't bake as much as I should, I usually just throw out my current jars of baking powder and start fresh (and then 7 months later throw that jar out.)
Powdered sugar: if I'm making a frosting I usually use the whole box but if I have some left I just dispose of it. If I store it it usually just ends up tipping over in the pantry and making a mess all over the floor.
I have nasty twisted bags with just a 1/4 cup left in the corner. And of course, it tastes like gym shorts.
How exactly do you know what gym shorts taste like, huh?
