Tips for Food Storage
Nothing is worse than anticipating a mouth watering sandwich only to discover the bread is stale. Not only that, the chips you were going to eat along with your sandwich are stale too. There are ways to combat these types of problems when you learn some tips for storing foods to stay their healthiest and freshest.
Let’s Tackle the Bread
You bought a freshly baked loaf of bread yesterday, but today it seems to be getting harder and harder by the minute. What can you do to keep it feeling as fresh as the day you bought it? Most artisan and freshly baked breads come in paper wrapping. By wrapping the bread in a sheet of plastic before storing, you can keep your bread fresher for a longer period of time. It is also recommended that you put a stalk of celery in the bread bag as well.
Your Celery is Drooping
You may not use celery on a frequent basis, but you want it to stay crisp for as long as possible. Many times you may find yourself breaking off a stalk of celery only to watch it wilt pitifully in your grasp. You can avoid this scenario by taking your celery out of the plastic, and wrapping it up in tinfoil. Your celery will last for weeks using this technique.
If you need to serve a stalk of celery, simply put it in a container of water with ice and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours, and it will get its crispness back. It should be pretty snappy when you dry it off.
Storing Chips and Other Bagged Snacks
If you have spent dollars and dollars on buying those clips made to keep your pretzels and chips fresh, and every time you bring one home they seem to last for one bag of chips, you may be at a loss for a solution. You can take care of this annoyance in an economical way. Go to your local dollar or discount store and buy a bag of wooden clothespins. Put them where you store your snacks, and you will have a clip for your chips every time you need one.
Here are dozens of tips to help store food safely and inexpensively.
