How can I make herbs last longer without a herb keeper?
Our answer
Trim herb stems, stand tender herbs in a little water, cover loosely and refrigerate; keep basil warmer than most soft herbs.
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.
