Best way to store muffins?

What is the best way to wrap and store muffins?

[Alix]

Are you thinking long term or short term? What I mean is...are you making a giant batch to last for weeks or a regular 12-24 that will be used up within a week or so?

If you are making a ginormous batch, I would place them on a cookie sheet and freeze them, then store them in sealed ziploc bags. If you are only needing to keep them a short time I've found my Tupperware container to be the best bet.

I'm thinking short term...will eat them within a week. Do you refrigerate the Tupperware container?

[Alix]

Nope, I leave it on my counter. Rarely does baking last past 3 days here.

Thanks! I don't have Tupperware but I have glass containers with plastic lids from Crate and Barrel. Hopefully those will do the trick.

Do they have an airtight seal?

[kitchengoddess8]

I think so. Do muffins dry out in containers that aren't airtight?

[Alix]

Yes they do. They get to be large hockey pucks, and stale ones at that.

What kind of Tupperware container do you have? The container I have isn't tall enough for the muffins I made.

This is what I use.
