Tips for Keeping Appetizers Fresh
and Delicious When it comes to appetizers, freshness is key! Here are some tips to help you keep your appetizers looking and tasting great:
- Serve chilled items as close to serving time as possible. - Use cold plates or trays for items that need to be kept cool.
- Avoid overcrowding the platter, which could cause the food to become soggy and unappetizing.
- Make sure all ingredients are fresh before you begin. - Choose recipes with short prep times so you can avoid spending too much time in the kitchen.
- Try making dishes ahead of time and storing them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to serve them.
