How do I store my leftover corn bread?

Wrap leftover corn bread in aluminum foil and store on the counter for 1-2 days. The aluminum foil helps to keep the corn bread from drying out.

You can also store corn bread in the refrigerator. Wrap corn bread that is completely cooled in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, remove plastic wrapping and place in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Can I freeze leftover corn bread?

Yes! Once the corn bread is completely cooled, place it in freezer safe reusable bags and squeeze out the excess air and seal the bag closed. Properly stored, corn bread will last in the freezer for 2-3 months.

To reheat, thaw out frozen cornbread. Place in the refrigerator overnight, or leave out on counter for a few hours. Remove from resealable bag and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
