“Bit of extra protein!”: Sonia Kruger makes gross cooking confession

Sonia Kruger, co-host of Today Extra, confessed on Thursday that she gives her baking a secret kick.

During a debate about whether it’s okay to drink expired milk, Kruger revealed that she used flour last week despite finding evidence that it was once a nest for beetles.

She chuckled: “You know when you see a few little cobwebs on it and you think, ‘Oh, its got weevils’? But I still used it!”

Kruger justified her choice by saying that after further inspecting the flour, she found that the insects had moved on.

However, co-host Richard Wilkins remarked that she had just revealed that she couldn’t’ stomach off dairy but was more than happy to use flour that had evidence of beetles living in it.

“Oh, so you're OK with weevils!” said Richard Wilkins, to which Sonia jokingly replied: 'It's got extra protein!'

The mother who started the debate admitted that she gave her children full cream milk that was two days past its use-by date. She insists it’s “perfectly fine”.

Her opinion divided milk lovers, with some saying they rigorously follow the use-by date whereas others admitted they just see whether or not the milk pasts the “sniff test”.
