It turns out that cornbread is pretty similar to other types of bread when it comes to storage - if you store it in an airtight container at room temperature, it'll last for about 2-3 days. But, if you want to get all science-y about it, the humidity and temperature of your kitchen can affect how quickly your cornbread goes stale. Who knew?
Now, let's talk about the benefits of refrigerating your cornbread - for one, it'll stay fresh for way longer (we're talking up to a week!). Plus, it's just generally a good idea to keep your baked goods chilled to prevent any unwanted mold or bacteria from growing. Gross!
But, on the other hand, refrigerating your cornbread can also make it go stale faster - and let's be real, nobody likes a stale cornbread. So, if you're planning to eat it within a day or two, it's probably fine to just leave it on the counter in an airtight container. Easy peasy!
