Storage (in the container) ... some reviews say to let it really dry (to avoid stuff like Mildew) .. other's say, keep it moist. which would be best?

You want to wash/rinse it out well after use, wring it out but leave it damp to store it. There should be instructions that come with it but if you clean it first it doesn't get moldy/mildewy.

Leave in tube in fridge; as it will become stiff as a board if it dries. I cut mine in half as it's very wide; & store 2nd half in ziploc bag in fridge.

keep it in an airtight glass jar in a dark place out of sunlight and it will last a long while. Over time it will slowly lose its freshness.

I agree with the other comments, make sure to completely dry it before storing and store it where there is no moisture. I haven't had any problems with the one I got.

I keep mine at room temp, we are currently having a "heat wave", it remains solid. To store it for longer periods of time or if it gets too soft, I would refrigerate it. When used to make body butter or lip conditioners, it needs to be gently melted, so it can be used directly from the frig. Hope this helps! KK

I would store them like you would pasteurized. I soak and dehydrate mine then store in the refrigerator. They would do do fine in an airtight container in the pantry too.

I store mine in a plastic container that locks tightly. The primary reason for that is to keep insects out. Rice will keep for months in a cool, dry space.

I put mine in the plastic lined basket and it seems to stay moist longer. Hope that helps.

I keep mine in a large glass jar so I can seal it tightly and keep out moisture. I generally use the full bag within 3 months and have not had any problems, although in a humid zone you may need to worry about mold. My sister has let hers go over six months without issue, but for best usage I would perhaps freeze a portion if you aren't going to be using it regularly.

I store mine in the freezer in airtight containers. Works OK, and it should prevent all nasty critters. Mine hasn't gotten soggy or anything after a few months of this. BTW, I recommend NOT buying this much masa unless you're sure that your needs are awfully high. I'm regretting buying so much. 50 pounds is way more than I expected.

I keep it in a tightly sealed glass container in a cabinet. I think the three main things to consider are to keep it tightly sealed, keep it in a dark place, and keep it away from heat.

I never looked. Based on my lab experience I can tell you that you can store it for years. Just keep it away from moisture.

Obviously your dishes are clean, so the rack should not collect bacteria. If you are going to store in a closed cabinet, allow to dry completely. BTW the rack can be oiled with anything edible: olive oil for example.

I store mine in a plastic bag in a cupboard. It's been kept that way from several months with no problems.

Just keep them is a dry flat place. I keep mine in the plastic sleeve it came in. It won't go bad unless it gets wet but it will crack if it bends. It looks super cool. :) good luck.

I store mine in the original plastic container it was shipped in. It keeps just fine at room temperature and has not separated or anything like that. Hope this helps! :)

Instructions on box state "store in cool, dry place. Do not freeze or place in direct sunlight". Refrigeration is not required.

Keep it in a dry place, away from mice, that's all. Mine has been stored in original paper bag tightly closed in a garage with plus 80 degrees in the summer and minus 20 degrees in the winter.
