Storing Information

Room Temperature:

• We pack the pasta in a tight box for 3/4 days at normal room temperature. Allow to cool fully before storing. The chips will get soggy if you store them while still warm because they retain too much moisture.

Fridge:

• We store the remaining dish in a tight box and refrigerate it for 4/7 days.

Reheating:

• You can reheat the chips in an air fryer, or microwave oven for 5/6 minutes.
