Eat it or Toss it???

Sometimes it's easy to tell when things are past their prime. Socks smell, flowers wilt and movie stars look more stretched than sexy.

But what about the spaghetti leftovers from last week, or that days-past-its-sell-by-date container of yogurt in the fridge? Do you dare dive in?

StillTasty.com, the ultimate shelf-life guide, has the answers. (No and probably, respectively.)

Type the name of the food into the Keep It or Toss It search engine and you'll find out how long it can be kept in the pantry, refrigerator and freezer. The site also provides tips for the best ways to store each type of food.

While you're online, browse through StillTasty's article and Q&A archives, or submit a question of your own.

It's a quick way to be safe, not sorry.
