Do you cover up pudding while in fridge?

Whether you should cover pudding in the fridge depends on the type of pudding:

Yes, you should cover pudding in the fridge if:

* It's a creamy pudding: Like custard, flan, or panna cotta, these tend to absorb odors from the fridge and can develop a skin on the top if left uncovered.

* It's a pudding with fruit: This can attract fruit flies and might also get dried out if exposed to the air.

* It's a pudding that will be eaten later: To prevent spoilage and maintain freshness.

You may not need to cover pudding in the fridge if:

* It's a pudding with a solid top layer: Like bread pudding or rice pudding, these may not need to be covered, but it's still a good idea to do so for hygiene reasons.

Here's how to cover your pudding:

* Plastic wrap: This is a great option for most puddings, as it seals tightly and prevents air from getting in.

* Lidded container: This is a good choice if you're storing pudding for longer than a few days.

* Aluminum foil: This can be used for short-term storage, but it's not as airtight as plastic wrap or a lid.

General rule: It's always a good idea to cover your pudding in the fridge, especially if it's going to be stored for more than a few hours.
