Once we've located the often-expensive ingredients we need for gluten free eating, we want to store them optimally. What’s your approach? Do you repack your purchases in your own containers? Do you keep stuff room temperature, or cold, or frozen?

Feel free to share any storage-related triumphs and disasters!

Now that we're a paid community, we can have polls! (feel free to suggest other topics in comments).

Baked goods change as they cool. Our recipes almost always specify "transfer to a rack and let cool for number minutes."

But can you/do you wait that long?
