Storing cream cheese properly can definitely help keep it neat and fresh! Here are a few tips:
-
Airtight Container: Transfer the cream cheese to an airtight container as soon as you open it. This helps prevent it from drying out and keeps it from absorbing any odors from the fridge.
-
Plastic Wrap: If you prefer to keep it in its original packaging, you can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before placing it back in the fridge to minimize mess.
-
Use a Spoon or Spatula: When you take out cream cheese, use a clean spoon or spatula to scoop it out instead of your knife. This reduces the chance of contamination and keeps the package cleaner.
-
Small Portions: If you often use only small amounts, consider dividing the cream cheese into smaller portions in different containers. This way, you can use what you need without messing up the entire package.
-
Label and Date: If you transfer it to another container, be sure to label it with the date. Cream cheese generally lasts about 2 weeks after opening, so this can help you keep track.
By using these methods, your cream cheese should stay fresh and neat for when you’re ready to use it!
