Store it in a non-metal container (plastic or glass) with a lid that is not air-tight (fermentation of gas will cause the jar to explode) I use glass jars with plastic lids, loose. Fridge is great for storage for long term, especially if you're not using it every day. It can also be frozen in smaller quantities and refreshed as needed. Add equal parts water and flour to the frozen starter and set out 24 hours or so, until bubbly. If stored very long in the fridge, it will get a separation of liquid from solid. It's okay to just stir the starter together and use it. It's a natural thing. I have, like I say, about 4 different starters that I use regularly. So...I keep most of mine in the fridge. It's warm enough in Arizona to need to do that.Chef Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056350814296556107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150369530381343686.post-42472979505770742672011-01-23T19:17:26.212-08:002011-01-23T19:17:26.212-08:00so after the starter...is started :) where do I st...so after the starter...is started :) where do I store it? on the counter or fridge?crazy burnett6https://www.blogger.com/profile/03747641558803475675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150369530381343686.post-28186201632711881772008-12-24T09:40:00.000-08:002008-12-24T09:40:00.000-08:00Thanks for stoppin' by too!!

As for your grandmother's starter,it probably did come across the plains with the Pioneers! So did a lot of things, like great faith! I learned a lot about that faith over a lump of dough across from my mamma. The Kingdom of Heaven is like that little lump! I would love to get a little bit of that starter! The older the better! God bless! Merry Christmas!!Chef Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056350814296556107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150369530381343686.post-21920597120865047882008-12-24T05:09:00.000-08:002008-12-24T05:09:00.000-08:00Thanks for stopping by my blog...I love that a che...Thanks for stopping by my blog...I love that a chef enjoyed my fiasco of a gingerbread house experience. I really enjoyed your post on sourdough starters- it reminded me of making sourdough bread with my grandmother and asking her how she got the starter started. Seems like she said something like, "it came across the plains with the pioneers, and I've just kept it going." I think she was foolin me, and I figured starting one must be a daunting thing. Maybe you have inspired me to bring back the memories and make some. There is nothing like toast made from sourdough bread!HuckFinnsMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05238924704485954223noreply@blogger.com
