This is very informative. Thanks a lot for sharing! Will take some items out of my fridge tomorrow.  "apple"? How come I don't see it in the article. zt: For Heaven’s Sake, Don’t Refrigerate Tomatoes! Strawberries are tricky when it comes to storing them for later. If you plan to use them within 48 hours, it’s best to leave them on your countertop. If you plan to use them in a few weeks, it’s best to move them to the freezer. You can also leave full salads out of the fridge for extended periods of time as long as that salad doesn’t contain cheese or other dairy products. Mayonnaise-based dressings should also not be left out of the fridge for long periods of time. Jam is packed with preservatives, both natural and artificial, and it’s literally built to last. ( I normally store it in the fridge once it's opened) In some countries, eggs aren’t kept in the refrigerator in grocery stores or in people’s homes. That’s how it’s done across the pond in the UK. A study recently uncovered there found that it actually makes no difference whether or not you store your eggs in the fridge, so you might as well save yourself some fridge space. Carrots can actually rot and become waterlogged and droopy if they’re left in the fridge for too long. You should store your carrots away from direct sunlight in a place with low moisture. Cucumbers do not do well when they’re left in the fridge. They can quickly become waterlogged and lose a lot of their flavor. Instead, store your cucumber on your counter or in a pantry. Keep eggplant separated from other fruits and vegetables. Also, definitely keep it out the fridge and out of direct sunlight. |

Neither do I! But what happened to apple? I thought I saw it in the article. I am so sorry then, for passing wrong information to the public here. :-)
"If you take one thing away from this whole article, please do not store tomatoes in the fridge." Really?
"Strawberries are tricky when it comes to storing them for later. If you plan to use them within 48 hours, it’s best to leave them on your countertop. If you plan to use them in a few weeks, it’s best to move them to the freezer." Really?
Oh, I read the label of Ketchup and it says that, store in refrigerator after opening. So, in or out?

Blame the author for not mentioning apples. " I read the label of Ketchup and it says that, store in refrigerator after opening. So, in or out?" -- Your food, your decision.
www.cookinglight.com/cooking-101/essential-ingredients/how-to-store-applesMake sure you put them in the fridge when arriving home from the store. “Apples are not a fan of the warmth, so best to store them in the fridge, specifically in the crisper drawer, unless you are planning to eat them within 2-3 days, in which case you can keep them on the counter” --zt
www.today.com/food/should-you-keep-ketchup-fridge-or-pantry-t107837Here's Heinz's official stance on the issue: Because of its natural acidity, Heinz® Ketchup is shelf-stable. However, its stability after opening can be affected by storage conditions. We recommend that this product, like any processed food, be refrigerated after opening. Refrigeration will maintain the best product quality after opening. Kinda dodgy, right? It seems like they're just trying to avoid picking a side in such a lethal battle. -- zt |

During the summer months, chocolate should stay in the fridge, I think. Btw, I prepared the trip to China earlier and it's postponed indefinitely. What am I going to do with the boxes of them? :-)

I stocked my fridge and freezer for the coronavirus pandemic. Do I have to throw it all out if my power went out? www.inquirer.com/food/extended-power-outage-what-impact-on-refrigerated-or-frozen-food-20200605.htmlAccording to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a fridge will keep food safely cool for about four hours if it is unopened during an outage. So the first rule: Do not open your fridge or freezer A basic rule: Food shouldn’t be out of the fridge for more than two hours. “Once the temperature goes above 40 degrees, you only have two hours before you have to throw the majority of your food out,” Adams said. |
