For those who have the minhag of saving the challah from hafrashas challah every week to burn with the chometz, here’s a tip. Do not store the challah in aluminum foil or in a plastic bag. Instead, use a paper envelope preferably soaked in oil. That way it won’t absorb any wetness from the freezer and will burn even better. Ideally it should be left out to dry for several hours before freezing. Every year I pass by biyur chametz sites where the challah that was thrown in to burn just got nicely baked and looks quite delicious. Some animals were enjoying it immensely.
