Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do that. As long as it's cold and not hot water, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make them mushy. Just as an analogy, my aunt always stored baby carrots in a tupperware container filled with water to extend the freshness date & so they wouldn't dry out.

I'm wondering if it makes them watery...I know the color may be off. D'ya need to stick them in the fridge, or can you leave them out? Also - how about preparing lentil loaf ahead of time and cooking it at dinner - any luck doing this? I'm a worrier and don't know much about ahead of time prep...I worry about giving everyone food poisoning - not that I have yet in all my years of cooking...think it helps not to have the meats... m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
