Which of these should be kept in the fridge?

Question

There have been a lot of disagreement about this in my family, so I wanted some fresh perspectives. Some people say they go in the fridge and others dont. Which of these do you think belong in the fridge?

-Ketchup
-Coffee Grinds
-A loaf of bread
- Peanut Butter

Also if you have any other ideas from random foods that cause a disagreement, Let me know about those too

Thanks!

Answer 1

Actually there are two answers to this question. :
1. Ketchup, of course after it has been opened, it states so on the bottle. And,
2. Coffee grinds, after they have been open-it keeps them fresher longer.
---You can put bread in the freezer though for up to 3 months (if it is securely packaged in a frost-bite proof baggie) to preserve it and use at a later date. (You can also put coffee grounds in the freezer.)
---Anything that is perishable in jars, bottles or baggies should be put in the fridge too. And, unless you live somewhere extremely hot and humid, bread should NOT be put in the frige. Peanut butter, definitely doesn't need to be put in the fridge.
Hope this helped. Good luck.

Answer 2

Ketchup: Fridge (after opening)
Coffee Grinds: Not in the fridge at stores so... shelf
Bread: Shelf
Peanut Butter: shelf

Answer 3

Ground coffee needn't be kept in the fridge, but it stays fresh longer if you do.
Mayonnaise should defintely be kept in the fridge once open, and also salad dressings.
Anything that might go rancid is best kept in the fridge. Peanut butter in the summer if you live in a very hot place...otherwise no,
and bread doesn't need to be refrigerated at all.
I do keep my catsup in the fridge, but I don't think it is really necessary.

Answer 4

Everything in the fridge but the bread I guess...
I keep the fresh ground coffee in the fridge once opened but Instant Coffee is left out or with will get moist and solidify.

You will have to experiment with food.....but mainly...foods that you buy frequently and from a chilled cabinet in the shop should go straight to the fridge once you get it home.

Things in jars also require to be put in the fridge once opened.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Peanut Butter, Coffee Grinds, and Ketchup. No bread, the fridge wil make the bread moist and that just makes it nasty.

Answer 6

None of them NEED to be in the fridge. I keep ketchup in there, and I freeze my bread so that it stays fresh (I thaw it in the microwave). I wouldn't ever do peanut butter, cuz then it's hard to spread.

Answer 7

I don't keep my coffee, bread or peanut butter in the fridge. I do keep my ketchup because I like it cold but you don't have too.

My husband likes to keep the butter out too. He says that it is something he grew up with. My mom use to leave the pickles out. I like them cold though.

Answer 8

ketchup is the only one out of all of those I would put in the fridge! Any of the others are just taking up space.
