I'm going to try MMF for the first time, but I have a question about the storing of it. I'll be making it a few days before I actually use it and doing all that stuff you know, like rubbing it with crisco and wrapping it tightly with plastic wrap inside an airtight container, etc. Now, my question is. Do I refrigerate it or not? Some say yes and some say no. What do I do? I'm so confused. I have some other questions:

If refrigerated:
1. Do I get out of fridge on the day I'll be using it and let it get warm and then on microwave for about 10 seconds like everyone suggests or does it go directly to the microwave right out of the fridge?

If not refrigerated:
2. Does it still need to go in the microwave for about 10 seconds?

Now, what about leftovers? I would guess I store it the way I originally did the first time right? How long is it still good for whether refrigerated or not.

Thanks everyone. I'd rather ask the questions now then to be stuck in the middle of a disaster, lol!

Anyone???

Anyone???

Sorry I don't use MMF. I made it once, but never again. I can say that with purchased fondant, there's no need to store it in the refrigerator. I can't see how it would make much or any difference in when it went into the microwave. You're only going to heat it for maybe 8 - 10 seconds anyway.

I use MMF all the time and there is no need to put it in the fridge. Just make sure you cover it well and put it in a zip lock bag.

I didn't find it to be consistent, and it was messy to make. I work in volume. I use SatinIce and have been extremely pleased with it.

Thank you Iva1976 for your feedback. Now, do I still heat up a little for about 10 seconds when I'm ready to use it?

Well, wish me luck. I hope I can master this. Oh Leahs, I hope I don't have your experience. I wish I could use Satin, but I wouldn't be able to afford it all the time. I plan on purchasing it though. I heard it's yummy!

Nearly any online or local cake supplies store will carry SatinIce.
