Any ideas on how long store bought chicken broth stays good once opened? I use the resealable boxes, not cans and refrigerate after opened. Thanks for any thoughts.
 
If I remember correctly, the box says 14 days, but I've used it up to a month afterwards. I figure I'm boiling it anyway. I don't push it past one month though. I always write the date I open the container on it with a Sharpie.
 
Freeze some in an ice cube tray so if you need a small amount for a sauce you don't have to worry about the large container.
 
The boxes will tell you. Some are 14 days after opening and some are only seven. When I open a box I write the use by date on the top and use or toss it by that date.
 
I guess I have to admit that I throw it out if I can't remember when I opened it, but otherwise use it. I don't think I ever go so long before needing it, though, that it would go bad.
