I got a carton of orange juice (tropicana no pulp) last night and forgot to put it in the refrigerator. I put it away when I got up this morning, but it sat for 10-12 hours on the counter.
Is it still good or does OJ in cartons spoil that quickly? It was never opened. Is it still OK to drink?
How long does orange juice in a carton stay fresh if its unrefrigerated?
The general rule of thumb for any food left out is about 3 hours. You could open it up and smell it. Chances are it will start to 'ferment' first and smell a little like wine. I generally don't find it worth the risk because the whole time I am drinking/eating the item left out I think it tastes 'funny'.
Reply:Well im not a scientist or anything, if it was overnight then im guessing it wasnt extremely hot, and i dont think it would expire as fast as milk or anything like that, id say try a small glass and if it tastes bad then its bad.
Reply:If it was never opened it should be fine, of course if it was really warm in your house last night It might not be. But normally, orange juice is stays good for a while if it is not opened.
Reply:Orange juice is very acidic and as a result, little will grow in it. I would say 2 days at ambient room temperature (68 degrees F). If it is hotter where you live, 1 day max.

Can I correct my orange hair by putting another color over it?
I have naturally darkest brown hair which I had bleached and dyed and it's supposed to be "golden" blonde, but it looks a little orange, not a lot, just a little, and only in certain kinds of light. It's almost there. So my question is, if I buy an ash blonde color and put it over the orange, will it come out the color on the box? Also, should I buy a shade darker or lighter than my haircolor now? I had the bleaching done in a salon and I'm not willing to try it myself.
Can I correct my orange hair by putting another color over it?
Never agree to colour your hair with the words warm/golden/burnt or other such adjectives if you dont wanna go ginger.
I used to colour/bleach/colour my hair over and over again. its not a problem to colour over the top. I think your hair will be porous now and would strongly suggest you get a shade lighter than the colour on the box as they tend to be darker.
I think ash blonde could send you back to dark hair as they are not very light looking. But then again it would tone down the flamey coloured hair. i think light ash blonde is what you want.
Reply:yeah all ash colors get red and orange out. umm i think for now go a little darker and then later on get lighter. thats what i did.

Do you have to peel an orange before putting it through a juicer?
My new juicer has a very wide feeder and would be able to feed a whole orange through it. It's just that most juice recipes suggest that you peel the orange first. Is it a MUST? What's wrong with leaving the skin on? It is the same for lemons %26amp; limes?
Do you have to peel an orange before putting it through a juicer?
The skin of citrus fruits has the 2 main layers; the very top outer layer (which is the color of the fruit) that contains the essential oils that is used in cooking and baking, then just below that is the white part, or the pith (that you peel off with the top layer) and the white part is rather bitter.
I recommend peeling them first before juicing.
Reply:I am pretty sure you would have to still peel it - the wider mouth means you could probably put a half or small whole one through saving you time in not chopping it up. If you still have it why not check the manual?? Enjoy the juice!!
Reply:you could do it and it would not hurt the juicer but the problem is the white pith under the outside part that you zest it will make it taste nasty and bitter same goes for all citrus fruit.
Reply:Yes, if you don't it will wear down the blades and burn out the motor quicker. Plus.....citrus peel - the white part - is very bitter....why would you want to add that flavor to your drink?
Reply:The peel and pith are very bitter. If you don't believe then take a bite of any citrus peel and decide for yourself.
Reply:Yes, peel all citrus before juicing!
Enjoy!
Reply:Try to do it with the peel on and let me know how it tastes.
Good luck.

What are the orange pieces in rice pilaf?
For example in a box of zatarains it has the rice but also light colored orange pieces that also look like some sort of rice. What is this?
What are the orange pieces in rice pilaf?
If you mean the almond-shaped bits, that's orzo. Orzo is a type of pasta.
Reply:carrot shavings

How do i get orange gatorade out of a beige carpet?
orange gatorade spilled on the carpet in the car and it wont come out.
How do i get orange gatorade out of a beige carpet?
Try soaking it up with club soda - the plain, bubbly, flavorless kind. If that does not work, try scrubbing with soap and water.
I recently got out yellow mustard out of my carpet by doing that.

What is the difference between orange and green antifreeze?
I have a 1998 Chevy s10 pickup and i noticed the antifreeze was low so we put regular green antifreeze in and when we opened the radiator cap the antifreeze in there was orange. I know that orange is used in gm vehicles but what is the difference and was it bad that i mixed the green coolant with the orange.
What is the difference between orange and green antifreeze?
after talking to a master mechanic for gm he says to never mix green and orange anti freeze as they are entirely 2 different chemical compositions,plus once mixed and heat added by driving a chemical reaction takes place,and the antifreeze turns to a jello like substance,no joke. evacuate the antifreeze system promptly and flush prior to replacing with fresh uncontaminated antifreeze,or blow the engine
Reply:I don't think it makes a difference, but the orange color might also be an indication of rust... I would check and make sure the mixture in your radiator is 50/50, they sell a silly little tool for doing just that, so long it's 50/50 then you should be ok.
You should be able to get an antifreeze mix tester at most any auto parts store, it has a small rubber hose and a clear plastic part with a gauge and a primer bulb, cost is like $10'ish or so.
Reply:The two types should not be mixed.
Most of the antifreeze products on the market currently are ethylene glycol base material with additives to prevent corrosion, lubricate seals and water pumps and aid in heat transfer to the coolant from the metal of the engine. Antifreeze should be mixed with distilled water (tap water contains high amounts of minerals such as calcium and iron that can precipitate and coat internal parts) at the ratio of one part antifreeze to one part water. This gives freeze protection down to minus 34 degrees and boil-over protection up to +265 degrees. Never use pure antifreeze in a cooling system without using at least 30 percent water in the mixture. Most antifreeze products sold for the past several years have been the traditional "green" coolant. This type is good for two to three years and up to 30,000 miles. The green antifreeze contains silicates, phosphates and / or borates as corrosion inhibitors to keep the solution alkaline. As long as the solution remains alkaline, corrosion is controlled and the system is protected. Over time, the corrosion inhibitors will be depleted and the corrosion protection is lost. It is for this reason that green antifreeze should be changed every two years or so. Aluminum is especially vulnerable to corrosion and many vehicles have heads, radiators and other aluminum components in the cooling system. If the coolant in an engine cooling system is changed before corrosion inhibitors reach dangerously low levels, corrosion damage is prevented.
An alternative to tradition green antifreeze is a product currently used by many engine manufacturers. "Orange" antifreeze is a long life or extended life type of antifreeze used to increase the useful life of engine coolant. It is ethylene glycol base as is the green antifreeze. The difference between the two colors is that orange antifreeze contains a different type of corrosion inhibitor that has a much longer service life than silicates, phosphates and borates. Orange antifreeze contains organic acids that protect engine parts from corrosion. Silicate (green) type antifreeze does not mix with orange type antifreeze. Never mix the two colors in a cooling system. The organic acids in orange types will cause precipitation of silicates in the green type and corrosion protection is greatly reduced. Orange type antifreezes are good for five years or 100,000/150,000 miles in newer vehicles (1996 and later). They can be used in many older vehicles (ask your vehicle dealer if it is safe to use orange antifreeze) if all of the green mixture is flushed from the system and is replaced with the orange mixture. Useful life is about four years or 60,000 miles in older cars.
Reply:Yeah, it's bad news to mix 'em. They are chemically different. You can flush out the orange stuff and replace it with green, that's what I do (been a mechanic for 25 years). Since you have mixed it, you will need to flush it out really well and put whichever you prefer back in.
Reply:Flush the system and then go back with the Dexcool. Also may sure you put a new good quality radiator cap on it. The green has silicates in it which is an abrasive and causes premature wear of components. The orange does not and last much longer as far as protection goes.
Reply:Your truck has factory filled Dex cool antifreeze. It's available every where you turn. The color is always orange. It's meant to last 150,000 between changes. I'd do it much sooner but that's just me.
The green type contain silicates which now is found may hasten bearing and seal life in the water pump. The old established Ethylene Glycol rust inhibitors are very limited after two years.
Reply:real bad! you better get your whole system flushed now, the orange and green don't mix and will plug your system up eventually, the orange is the enviromentally friendly anti freeze and as they say lifetime anti freeze and the green stuff should be changed every 2 yrs., you can use one or the other but not together, if you choose to use the green make sure your whole system is completely flushed, heater core and all of the orange stuff.
Reply:Orange is extended life coolant, it has a slightly different chemical composition.... if it wasn't much, it may not hurt, but I would consider flushing it out and replacing it all with the right coolant.
