I just discovered that I left my newly purchased cottage cheese in a bag on the counter for about 4 hours... does anyone know how to tell if it will be OK? If it smells OK, is it ok?
A nifty way to store cottage cheese, once you get it into the frig, is to store it upside down. The fluid in the carton will surround the lid and effectively seal the contents from air. This will prolong the keeping qualities of the cottage cheese.
