Are you supposed to keep baking soda in the refrigerated after it's been opened? Also, how about raisins?

Question

I just made Oatmeal Raisin Cookies by the way.

Answer 1

No, neither require refrigeration.

Answer 2

Baking soda is often refrigerated because it absorbs odors. If you want to use it that way, you need two because the one from teh fridge would be gross. I keep mine in a sealed jar so that it doesn't absorb moisture. Raisins also should be kept in a sealed jar. Dried food that gets exposed to air will mold.

Answer 3

If you put an open box of baking soda in your fridge, it will absorb all the odors and make your fridge smell nice. But you won't be able to use it for cooking.

But if you want to save it for later, then put it in an air-tight container and store in the cabinet.

For raisins, put them in an air-tight container or zip type bag and store in the fridge.

Oh... and send me some them cookies... lol

Answer 4

keep the baking soda in the fridge to absorb food odors. HOWEVER once you do this, you cant cook with it, the cooking would reek of food odour.
keep baking soda for cooking in a dry place, closed or in a sealed container.
Same as for the raisins, they can be kept in the bag them cam in for months. or put them in a sealed container. they are dried so will not spoil unless they get damp or bugs get into them.

Answer 5

by people put baking soda in the fridge it is that baking soda absorbs the food odors...raisins only need to be in a tightly closed storage container...

Answer 6

No baking soda you just keep in the pantry, but I put mine in a pint jar with a tight fitting lid. I always freeze my raisons just to keep them fresh.

Answer 7

Neither item needs refrigeration.

Answer 8

No. Not unless you want it to taste like your icebox would smell. You can keep raisens in the icebox only for a short time.

Answer 9

Either one can be kept in a "ziplock" type bag at average room temperatures.
