Use Plastic Wrap For Pies

Place the uncovered pie on a baking sheet and freeze for about two hours, before wrapping in a layer or two of plastic wrap.

Store Cookies With Bread

Simply store chewy cookies with half a slice of white bread to keep them fresh. The cookies soak up the moisture from the bread, which helps it stay fresh

Cooked Fruit Filling Keeps Better

In the case of fruit pies, uncooked or raw fruit can become watery on thawing and may require additional thickener.
