Storing cream cheese can definitely be a bit tricky! Here are a few tips to keep it neat and fresh:
-
Plastic Wrap or Wax Paper: After you open the package, you can try wrapping the cream cheese tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper to keep it fresh and prevent it from getting messy.
-
Airtight Container: Transfer the cream cheese into a small airtight container. This not only keeps it neat but also helps maintain its freshness and prevents it from absorbing odors from the fridge.
-
Foil or Cling Film: If you’re using part of the block, you can cover the exposed side with foil or cling film before putting it back in the fridge. This can keep it from drying out.
-
Use a Spatula: When scooping out cream cheese, use a clean spatula to minimize mess. Avoid using knives directly from the package, as it can create more crumbs.
-
Labeling: If you’re storing leftover cream cheese in a container, consider labeling it with the date you opened it. Cream cheese typically lasts for about 1-2 weeks after opening.
Hope these tips help keep your cream cheese fresh and tidy!
