The best con ditions are storing these products in air-tight con tainers in a cool, dry place - not next to the stove. Whole spices such as stick cinnamon, whole cloves and vanilla beans will keep their flavor indefinitely. Herbs generally lose their flavor more quickly than spices. There is no rule for the correct amount of flavoring to use since each is different. But many cooks are either too timid or too enthusiasitc about using seasonings. In general, specialists suggest starting with one-quarter teaspoon for each pound of meat or pint of liquid. But be conservative with red pepper, curry, chili, and garlic powders - start with one-eighth teaspoon instead. Ground spices may be added near the end of the cooking period since their flavor is released im mediately. On the other hand, whole spices are best for slow-cooked dishes such as stew. The long simmering brings out their full flavor and aroma. TRY A CLASSIFIED AD!
