How can I save my bacon bowls?

Question

I am going to make bacon cups ahead of time but not going to use them right away.

(FYI: If you don't know, bacon cups are where you weave bacon all around the bottom of a tin baking cup and bake it until the bacon is crisp and forms a shallow bowl)

What I want to know is, since they are hard to make and I want to make them ahead of time, how do I save them and keep them crisp? Can I put them in the freezer after they are baked and formed or do you have a better plan? Thanks!

Answer 1

Bacon cups? OMG! Where have I been? To answer your question, they should be fine frozen, just make sure you thaw them slowly (like in the fridge) and not in the microwave, otherwise they might crack.

Answer 2

that sounds good what do you put  therm? Please e-mail me.I would  love to try these.

Answer 3

That is so cool!

If you put them in the refirgerator, they will dry out and become like jerky - maybe that's a good thing if you plan on filling them with food.  

Answer 4

You need to edit and tell EVERYONE how to MAKE THESE!!! Everyone is asking!!

Anything longer than a couple of days - freeze them.

Answer 5

I want a bacon bowl.

Answer 6

how do you expect people to answer this q when you've obviously distracted us by a bigger issue here?? MY issues?? THEY HAVE BACON BOWLS and i've never had one... this troubles me and all i knew of my "happy childhood" that would be good with my mom's potato salad..lol..ok now that that's out of the way

is there a way you can make them and bake them when your ready to use them.. by that i mean make the bowls in the foil cups then put them in layers in freezer bags in the fridge laying flat then just bake them when you need them??/
