Tips for storing Food

from: Yokes

Bread Basics. Bread will keep up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator if you wrap it in foil and store it on a low shelf.

Conserving Cucumber. To extend the life of a cucumber once it has been cut open, wrap it in a paper towel and keep it in the vegetable drawer of your refrigerator.

Don't Chill Your Spices...Freeze Them. Because the refrigerator is a rather humid environment, storing herbs and spices there is not recommended. To keep larger quantities of spices fresh, store them in the freezer in tightly sealed containers.

Saving Bananas For Recipes. You can save ripe bananas for baking at a later date by mashing them and freezing in the amounts needed for your recipes. If you are short on time just put them in the freezer, unpeeled, and when ready to use let them defrost and peel.

Saving Spices. Store spices in a cool, dark place. Humidity, light and heat will cause herbs and spices to lose their flavor more quickly. Although the most convenient place for your spice rack may be above your stove, moving your spices to a different location may keep them fresh longer.

Storing Easy-to-Measure Berries. Freezing berries individually means you can remove the amount you want without having them stick together. Spread berries out on jelly roll pans in a single layer, making sure the berries are not touching. Freeze until firm. When berries are completely frozen, remove from the pan and place in freezer containers of your choice.

Temperamental Tomatoes. The most effective food storage for tomatoes is in a brown paper bag or closed container. Adding an apple or pear to the container can also hasten ripening. Store the tomatoes in a single layer and with the stem ends up to avoid bruising.
