Does a starter need to breath in the fridge? Can you cover with an airtight
lid (Tupperware)? -- folsomcook Please remove "DONOTSPAMME" from address when sending email :-) |

When the starter is in the fridge it is not very active and therefore uses less oxygen. Eventually it would use up all available oxygen, but this probably won't happen for a month, at which time you should feed it again anyway. Ernie |

With Tupperware, you may find that the lids "blow" off. That would be of concern only because other things in the fridge might find their way into the starter... HTH, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS." |

I have been keepīng my regular starter in the fridge in mason jars for 6 years now, quite an airtight lid. I usually bake every week but I can remember being away for up to two months without baking, coming back and reviving the starter with no problem. |
