Re: meringue trick - keeping them crunchy

[Guest guest]

I am having trouble keeping them crunchy after they bake and do not

have a dehydrator (yet). How do you store them to keep them crunchy

for a couple days?

Assuming they are crunchy when you get them out of the oven, keep

them in an airtight container. Mine stay crunchy that way for quite

awhile (over a week).

Another way to get them crunchy in teh FIRST place is to leave them

in the oven for sevearl hours after you turn the oven off.

They may come outa bit more browned this way, but it works..

They do attract moisture. Keep them in a glass jar with a nice lid.

That should help.
