When you fill the pans with colours from tubes do they stay moist in this box?

I think it depends on your geographical location. I watched a Santa Fe artist do a demo once, and he related how the dry climate in NM meant a hard-paint palette. You get used to paint acting a certain way, and to the amount of water to use as you go along. He said he was startled when in San Francisco Bay Area, having pre-filled his Watercolor pans with tube paint, he'd closed up the pallette in a hurry without waiting for the paints to dry out before leaving for California (and used to dry climate drying them really fast in his normal day-to-day). He said he plunged his wet brush into what he thought would be the dried colors he was used to, and smooshed WET paint everywhere, then realized why that had happened. Being a Bay Area person, I'm wondering if putting the filled pans in a warmed/turned-off oven overnight would help them dry properly. My preference in a travel palette is for dried paint. Not sure how the plastic pans would react to a warm oven (that is, BARELY warm; heat to 250' and turn it off, place the filled pans on a cookie sheet and let the dry heat do its thing til morning, when they will have cooled off. Probably your warmest window would do the same thing, but take longer. Plus Mom will kill you if you get wet paint on the curtains. (!)

Take them off because you don't want a leaky pan. Actually, mine didn't come packed this way.......but remove. Happy baking!

Sort of. They recommend using pans on low to medium heat. If you use them on high heat it will get hotter and be harder to clean the pans.

Nope! Slightly moist and able to be fluffed with a fork! We use nearly all the time including for twice baked!

As long as they are in the packet, they stay moist. Never opened a dry one yet. These work great too. I never realized how smuged my lens were getting until I started using these. I have always just used the little soft cloth that came with my glasses or washed them. Hope this helps.

No, they are just holes drilled in the plastic. I have been using these for years and have had no trouble with bread drying out due to the venting. The holes probably help keep the bread from molding. I put the bread in hot from the breadmaker and it does steam up some and keeps the bread moist.

I just have them sitting in a plastic tray in a bathroom cabinet drawer. They don't dry out or anything.

Yes, they are ready to use. The shells arrive in a plastic tray with indentations that hold 4, then wrapped in plastic and then boxed. They stay fresh for months. I have found that if they begin to taste a bit stale, I put them in a 250 degree oven, on a baking sheet, for about 1 minute. They are then ready to go and fabulous.

I don't have the box anymore, but mine are 6 months old and still very moist when opened.

I pack leftovers usually, when I cook in these pans. But, the few times that I have refrigerated the food as is, it stays fresh enough. The cover is quite heavy, hence you can expect it to be air tight.

Not airtight, but the paints are solid cakes. If you let them dry after use, there's nothing that can leak.

Terri, yes they do. My contents have stayed dry and fresh. There is a slight suction sound when the lid is pulled off. I really like mine. Take care.

No, just reseal the bag so they don't dry out. I have had some that were good after several months.

I'm not a professional and so mine are hardly used. I just checked after months of not using them and they certainly seem okay. My suggestion would be to keep the lids tightly closed and to possibly layer a small piece of Saran wrap over the top of the paint to further keep it moist. Alternatively, you can probably always moisten any dry paint, if necessary, by wetting your paint brush or sponge, then work the moisture into the paint. I hope this helps!

I don't know if the palette in with these eggs is to absorb oxygen or not, but it is there. The eggs stay fresh and delicious.

Linda, No, it is not. Wet or moist paints do dry out over a normal amount of time depending on conditions. I there is not a seal arond the container edges and the boxed is hinged in the back allowing air in. If you'd like to provide me your email, I could send you the picture I took from the back of one of my boxes.
