Stop trusting flour from bulk bins at 2am like I did last Tuesday

I used to grab random bulk bin flour for late night baking without checking the date, but after my $40 chocolate cake turned into a salty brick because of old rancid flour, I learned my lesson. Now I only use sealed bags or test the flour smell before mixing, have you ever had a batch ruined by stale ingredients?

My buddy used stale cinnamon for his apple pie and it tasted like dusty cardboard.

My 2023 Thanksgiving cinnamon was from like 2019. I made a pumpkin pie that tasted like I dusted it with potting soil. I actually had people asking if I used a new recipe. Nope, just my spice cabinet being a dusty time capsule. I feel your buddy's pain.

Wait, you used cinnamon from 2019 and just went with it? I would've at least done a smell test before dumping that into a pie for guests.
