Colman's Dry Mustard Powder, 16 Ounce

Good stuff; we're all on the same page there and I don't need to review the product. My review is about how to store this product. I like Colman's a lot and buying a pound is by far the most economical way to get it, but I can't cut through a pound of it in a year. The last pound lasted me about 18 months. Oxygen is the enemy, along with light and moisture. When I get a new shipment, the first thing I do is decant most of the tin into a 16oz mason jar. Then I add a oxygen absorber packet to the jar, put a mason lid on it, and then use a vacuum machine and a mason jar vacuum attachment to pull the air out of the jar. A Ball or Kerr mason lid seals exceptionally well under vacuum & is reusable many times. Just be sure that the jar rim and underside of the lid are completely free of mustard powder before sealing. The jar goes on a high shelf in the back away from light exposure. This method keeps the mustard powder (and many other foods that contain oils) stable for a long time. After a year, I can't detect any deterioration at all. No clumping, no moisture uptake, no change in flavor or color. From time to time when I need more powder I open the jar to remove what I need, then refresh the oxygen absorber and reseal the jar with vacuum.

I make a mustard sauce/dip for cheese and sandwiches and this is an excelent product! It gives a nice heat and spiciness. I do weigh it when measuring as a half-cup (4 oz) is a lot different than 4 oz dry measure.

Great product. It's a 'hot' mustard - which I like. Very expensive at the local supermarkets. Although this isn't cheap, buying a full pound is better price than other options, and I use it frequently. Because I deal with humidity and 85F to 95F temps, keeping even a small container of Colman's in the cabinet causes the powder to become rock-hard fairly soon. Thus, I store this big jug in a freezer. Doesn't clump and the zero-degree F temp keeps it quite tasty (and spicy) for a long time. That's very good because it will take me a while to use it all.

This mustard has plenty of kick it's the real deal.

Short review, love it. Always have, so splurged and got the huge size.

Colman "s mustard at a good price.

Item great, but package was slightly opened when I opened the box it came in. Some of the product had come out, but not enough to bother returning. Sloppy packing. :(

It's a bit pricy but l like it

The item arrived on time and is exactly what I ordered

This is the third time I have purchased Colmans English Mustard Powder and definitely the second time from this supplier. Sadly, the powder I have just received has a VERY short use by date, it expires BEFORE the powder I puchased a year ago!

A favourite I have tried other brands this is the best I do also use Dijon etc but the Coleman’s is a must for family at Christmas etc<

My husband LOVES his Colemans mustard. Unfortunately it's very hard to find here. What we received was unexpectedly larger than what we thought we had ordered. Not a bad thing ;-) But it almost crushed our little dog Daisy. We will definitely order again when we run out :-)
