Today’s tip seems so tiny I have to wonder if it’s post worthy…and yet! My sister-in-law showed me a storage trick for all of her DoAhead baking that I just had to share!
The back story is that my amazing SIL baked numerous quick-breads and egg-bakes so that the large crew staying at our home over the 4th could graze in the morning. She started to stack her pre-baked goods in the fridge. They were made in aluminum pans and covered with foil.
In between each dish she layered a small piece of card board.
Genius!
All that kept going through my head was—-
Why didn’t I think of that?!
I love accumulating and storing DoAhead dishes in the fridge by stacking. (So much so I’ve talked about my favorite glass stacking dishes.) However, when foil pans are called for I inevitably would risk flattening the dish below.
A thin piece of cardboard in between each pan allows the weight to be distributed evenly. No “smooshing”!
Stop back tomorrow for a more thoughtful post on what it means to be a DoAhead Woman when our world has turned upside down.
Your DoAhead Friend,

perfectly wonderful idea!
I know! Oh so simple right?! 🙂
