Hello everyone, I am Nobita. After the end of autumn, many people started to steam steamed buns at home, and hot steamed buns, I believe many people like to eat them.

But if you can’t finish the steamed buns after being steamed, do you just put them in the refrigerator and save them?

For this method of preservation, 90% of people do this, but it is not appropriate to save the steamed buns in this way, and it will cause the steamed buns to become hard and dry.

In addition to the worse taste, steamed buns are also prone to scents when they are kept together with other foods in the refrigerator. So today I will tell you how to properly preserve the steamed buns that you can’t finish, even if they are left for 30 days, they will still be fresh and delicious.

steamed buns are stored in the refrigerator, why do they become dry and hard?

Because there are two different starches in the flour used to make steamed buns, amylose and amylose . Amylose is relatively stable, but amylose is more special and prone to aging and hardening.

amylose will not age or harden at a certain temperature. The temperature between 60 degrees and minus 20 degrees will not occur. This is why steamed buns sold outside like to use steamers to steam them at any time.

If you don’t steam the steamed buns at any time, once the time exceeds three hours, the steamed buns will become very hard and after the taste is very poor, people are unwilling to buy them.

And after cooling, the steamed bun will be greatly affected after heating it again. means that after the steamed buns age and become hard, it is irreversible. This is a normal phenomenon and is caused by starch aging. Therefore, when storing steamed buns, how to prevent them from aging and hardening is the key point.

1. Gauze moisturizing method

When ordinary people store steamed buns at home, it is impossible to steam them in a steamer at any time. Therefore, we must adopt a moisturizing method to store the steamed buns to avoid moisture loss.

Prepare a clean gauze, then wet the gauze with hot water, then squeeze the moisture in the gauze and squeeze out part of it, but do not squeeze it completely, and then cover the prepared gauze directly to the surface of the steamed bun, which can play a good moisturizing role, so as to ensure the taste of the steamed bun.

This preservation method is only suitable for short-term preservation and cannot be used for long-term preservation. It is best to eat the steamed buns within one day. The time cannot exceed two days to avoid the taste of the steamed buns. When eating steamed buns, remember to steam them in a steamer for a few minutes. After steaming and heating them, then go to dock and eat them. The taste is similar to the steamed buns, and there is not much difference. If you are preparing for long-term preservation, then this method is not applicable and the second method needs to be used.

2. Refrigeration method of plastic wrap

Prepare an appropriate amount of plastic wrap, and then wrap the steamed buns to be stored in plastic wrap. This will prevent the steamed buns from losing moisture while not odorizing with other foods.

The steamed buns wrapped in plastic wrap must be put on a fresh bag on the outside, and finally put them in the refrigerator and store them in the refrigerator. can maximize prevention, and the steamed buns will age and become hard and smelly, and the storage time can be up to one month.

Compared with the first storage method, the second storage method can greatly improve the storage time of steamed buns, but the taste of steamed buns will be more or less affected.

So when we steam buns at home, it is best to steam as much as we eat, and do not steam a large pot at a time, otherwise it will not be easy to store and it will also have a high effect on the taste. If you have better preservation skills, you can also share them with you in the comment section.
