How do I store half a cucumber without plastic wrap?

Our answer

Wrap the cut end in a reusable silicone cap or wax wrap and refrigerate in the crisper drawer; use within a few days.

Why this approach makes sense

The useful decision is usually the storage temperature, container or time since preparation, not a special gadget.

Before you try it

If food shows signs of spoilage or has not been kept at a safe temperature, do not try to rescue it with extra seasoning or heating.
