Pro tip: the main compartment of your refrigerator is cooled by vents piped from your freezer.
If you stick things in the back of the fridge near the vents, they will freeze.

Bread belongs in the fridge, objectively

potatoes in the potatoe cellar.

Are you suggesting mayo popsicles? Hmmm.

why would you store it in the door? that's the worst place to store things

>>14202756
Different humidity level than the rest of the fridge.

>>14202759
But it's sealed?

Friendly reminder that if you don't store eggs in the refrigerator you probably live in a shithole and can't afford a fridge anyways.

mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickles, soy sauce, whorechestershire, do not need to be refrigerated. They are all too acidic to grow bacteria.

butter can sit in a covered container on the counter indefinitely.

peanut butter will last for years in the cupboard after it has been opened.

bread only needs to be refrigerated if it has no preservatives.

potatoes and tomatoes need to be in a fridge both will sprout if left out too long, yes the seeds in a tomato can sprout on you counter in as little as a couple of days (I have seen it).

Unless you wash your eggs like Amerimutts do, then there is really no reason to refrigerate them.

>thinking a marketing gimmick to keep it in easy reach and not buried in a bunch of shit you never use is actual storage directions

>a-are eggs are covered in shit because w-we prefer it that way, not because I-I live in abject poverty

*our

Mayo, Mustard, Ketchup, BBQ sauce, salad dressing all go in the fridge.

no you don't understand, eggs have a natural coating that prevents contamination by microbes. washing the eggs removes this coating and makes your eggs more susceptible to spoilage/contamination. if you must wash your eggs, use them immediately after

Wife brought home "farm fresh" eggs once. Saw shit speckles on them. Immediately into the trash. I'll take Freedom eggs any day.

no it's hot here

>>14203397
I buy eggs out of the refrigerator and store them on a shelf anyway

never had them go bad or make me sick

>supermarket chains are still paying to refrigerate eggs even though they don't need to!

Do people believe that these for-profit companies that sell food haven't figured out the best way to store food? Store food how you find it in the supermarket, unless it hasn't yet been opened

Do you know where eggs come from? Are you really that retarded or a clean freak. What a waste.

>>14204845
you could just buy them in a jug so you don't ever have to face the fact that you're eating the cells of living organisms

>>14204861
it's hot here too that's why I have AC and leave the butter out all the time and it never goes bad.

Same. But after a few weeks they start to go watery. After 2 months they will be rotten. When the albumin takes on a yellow or greenish tint, they're risky.
