Martina McBride’s Cucumber Hack

August 28, 2025 5:10 am Published by

Martina McBride has been a powerhouse on stage for decades, but she’s also making a name for herself in the kitchen.

She has written two cookbooks full of delicious recipes and often shares food tips with her fans.  

One of her latest hacks is catching attention because it solves a real problem: slimy cucumbers.

In a recent post, Martina explained how to keep cucumbers fresh for longer using just paper towels and a plastic bag.  

After washing and drying the cucumbers, she rolls each one in a paper towel, then places them all inside a bag.

The bag should either be left slightly open or sealed with small holes poked in it for airflow.  Then, if you keep them in the fridge, they’ll stay firm and ready to eat for much longer.
