What is the best way to store my pastry?
When storing puff pastry, it should be covered to prevent skin formation due to exposure to the air. The best material for this is plastic, which is impervious to air, can be washed frequently and is more hygienic than other coverings. Puff pastry can be kept indefinitely in a deep freeze. To defrost, it can be removed from the freezer and left at room temperature for up to 6 hours. It may also be placed in a refrigerator overnight, where it will keep in a useable state for up to 2 days. When it is brought back to room temperature, it should be used as soon as possible. If the raw pastry is kept above refrigeration temperature, production of acids formed by bacteria will cause sourness and make the pastry unsuitable for use.
