We have a walk-in cooler, kept colder than is ideal for squash but I hate to run old refrigerators while also running the cooler. The veggies are kept in Buckhorn lidded crates. I have draped towels over the crates to keep them warmer/less susceptible to the fan, etc, but the squash get soft within a day. How do ya’ll keep the squash family crisp between market days (twice a week).

Thank you.
