00:00After weeks of testing, we found the best way to store cucumbers.
00:03We stored one cucumber in the fridge inside a plastic bag with a spoon to help regulate its temperature.
00:08We stored one cucumber in the crisper drawer of the fridge inside a plastic bag and wrapped in a paper
00:13towel to help absorb moisture.
00:15Then we tested a cucumber out on the counter and one simply placed in the fridge.
00:19After two weeks of waiting, the results were in.
00:21The cucumber stored with a spoon did reasonably well, but we did note some excess moisture leading to some decomposition.
00:27The cucumber stored freely in the fridge was definitely wrinkly and lost a lot of its firmness.
00:33I'll let the cucumber on the counter speak for itself.
00:35Our clear winner was the cucumber wrapped in the paper towel.
00:38Try our winning method and tell us how it worked for you.
