Do you struggle to keep paneer fresh for long? You need to learn a few tips and tricks for storing it in the refrigerator. Here is a short guide for you.

Submerge In Water

When you keep a block of paneer in the refrigerator, submerge half of it in water. Change the water every day and flip the block.

Add Salt

Sprinkle some salt on the block of paneer. It will increase its shelf life and keep it fresh.

Use Airtight Container

If possible, marinate the paneer in spices and oil. Store it in an airtight container. Avoid using garlic.

Wrap In Damp Cloth

You can also wrap the block of cottage cheese in a damp cloth and store it. Make sure to use a muslin cloth and don’t wrap it tightly.

Use Plastic Wrap

You can also use a plastic wrap to keep paneer fresh for a long time in the fridge. Add the wrapped block in a ziplock and store.

Use Paper Towel

Use a paper towel to absorb excess moisture so that paneer does not go bad in the refrigerator. Keep changing the paper towel if it gets wet.
