Donut Storage Hacks: Keep ‘Em Fresh, Not Soggy!
Store donuts at room temp in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. If you’re using a plastic bag, only do it overnight—otherwise, they’ll get mushy. Aluminum foil or plastic wrap works too, but don’t wrap glazed ones too tight or you’ll lose the icing.
If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate! Cover with plastic wrap or foil (never a plastic bag) and keep them in the fridge for up to a week. Always chill cream-filled donuts, or you risk spoiled filling.
For long-term storage, freeze donuts on a tray for 4 hours, then transfer to an airtight container. They’ll last up to 3 months. Defrost at room temp, uncovered, for 15-60 minutes before microwaving in 10-second bursts.
Got stale donuts? Don’t toss them! Use them for bread pudding or blitz them into crumbs for donut truffles. Just make sure they’re not moldy.
Fresh donuts are a treat, but with these tricks, you can enjoy them way longer!
