I was doing the same now I'll layer my paper towels Thank you
Ms BertaJ

[@leeward2702]

Yes. It works. I learned the rinse water stands on the greens, drains to the bottom and causes wilting and odor. Also, boiled eggs need to have the water drained off them, each day, because the water drains to bottom and causes bad odor, after a few days. I have not tried paper towels with the eggs; might be better. Thanks, for the info. Blessings.

My grandma would come back to smack the back of my head if I used that many paper towels.its bad enough that I pay extra to have cold fast food delivered.

[@grovermartin6874]

Hahaha! The paper towels should be just damp after using them that way. Just lay them out to dry out afterward, and they should be fine to use again. If not for that, use them to wipe grease out of a skillet, or from your hands if you've been massaging cornstarch into meat for a stir fry, or whatever.

[@how2honey327]

You can use washable materials. There is a pressed felt sold for the fridge to keep drawers clean and control moisture

[@kmo3811]

I do that now. I also wrap radishes in small bunches in paper towels and put back in bag with twist tie. They stay wonderful. Wrap your full carrots in paper towel about 3 or 4 in each bundle, put bundles back in carrot bag. No rot. Wrap your celery in tin foil as soon as you get home from store. These tips have helped me make my veggies last so much longer. I also put my completely made tossed salad in a plastic container and top with paper towel. Change every time you get some salad. It lasts so much longer. Moisture is what rots your vegetables. Paper towels absorb it.

AWESOME! Thanks so much. I have really been enjoying the wonders of freezing. It took me YEARS to feel comfortable to make homemade whole grain sourdough bread -- but then when I would make it unless my housemate was in an unusual mood to eat my bread (instead of her favorite white), I never could seem to make it last as long as I wanted. Cutting the loaf in half and putting help in the freezer helped, but I still felt a bit stressed. Then FINALLY (drumroll and then DUH...!) I realized I could slice up the bread into sandwich sized wedges and freeze THOSE. It's been a real LIFESAVER. I never have to worry to hurry up and eat my bread before it goes bad anymore, and I can take out just one slice at a time if I want and warm it or toast it in the toastmaster-style oven. VIOLA, super fresh every time. It took me ONLY about 4-5 years to figure that out...! Now I am definitely going to follow your advice oin the greens. I have a bunch in the fridge right now that I bought just before I got sick and had no appetite or energy and have been worrying that those good organic greens were going to go bad before we had a chance to eat them all. THANKS AGAIN -- you're wonderful...! (Oh, and I am freezing cherries per your instructions as we speak, though I had no choice but to let them touch.)
