Sounds similar to a recommendation I recieved off an old farm forman! He said something about putting them in a biscuit tin and burying them deep!
I wondered what the heck he was on about at the time and just put it down to senility on his behalf!
This must have been how the old hands did it before everyone had a fridge!
Makes sense now!
