Question 11

Tips for storing Lemon Loaf to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always remember to seal your loaf in airtight plastic wrap or a container to prevent it from getting stale or absorbing odors from other foods in your refrigerator.

• If you're planning on freezing your lemon loaf, make sure to protect it from freezer burn. You can wrap it in plastic wrap and then in foil, or place it in a resealable freezer bag.

• To defrost your frozen lemon loaf, let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. This allows it to thaw slowly and retain its moisture.

• Always keep your loaf away from direct sunlight or heat when stored at room temperature to avoid wilting.

• For loaves stored in the pantry or at room temperature, ensure they are in a dry, cool environment. Moisture can accelerate mould growth.
