Taking raw filo pastry to school

[Anonymousemouses]

My DD needs to take three sheets of filo pastry to school for cooking tomorrow.

How do I take it out, store it and transport it, without it going dry?

I haven't got any clingfilm, so can take it out put it in a tightly sealed sandwich bag, wrapped in foil?

Should I add a sheet of damp kitchen roll in with it to keep it moist?

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I know when I've used it in the past any sheets taken out dry fast.

Yes - what youve suggested sounds ok.

I can see that being a bit of a disaster to be honest

Why would a school do a recipe with filo pastry. Impractical.

Take the whole packet and right off what isn't used or share it with someone else?

@soupfiend not sure. Luckily she finishes cooking for the Easter holidays and she hasn't chosen it as an option, so I never need to worry again. She's making samosas, if the worse happens, she can just use the filling I guess.

This whole dish has been a nightmare! The shopping came yesterday and brought puff instead of filo, so I needed to go out to get some. The bus was cancelled due to roadworks, so I walked somewhere else to get one (wet and slow as my crutches slip on wet pavements), then whilst waiting there a twat came racing past, saw me and deliberately drove into a huge puddle. I had puddle water in my mouth, my hair and clothes were drenched (despite being waterproof) and everything in my handbag - including my phone - was drenched.

So the idea of the filo not working, when it was such a nightmare getting it, does make me feel defeated!😂

Can she message classmates to see if anybody wants to share it with her & just take in the whole pack?

Ok, let me rephrase, the filo will work perfectly and these will be the best samosas you have ever had!!!

🤣🤣🤣

Oh OP, what a shit day you’ve had. Tomorrow will be better! 💐

I'd wet a clean tea towel, wring it out and then wrap the pastry in it. The put the pastry in the tea towel inside a plastic bag.

This is the best idea!

Thank you, yes I will let her take the whole packet, I won't get around to using the rest anyway/

@soupfiend 😂😂

What a stupid thing to ask them to do. Everyone will have bought a pack and most of that is going to end up in the bin. Why didn’t the kids all just buy 2 packets between them? And share it out.
