maytag knows that if your fridge doesn't keep running your house can't get running today we look
at 15 foods you should never refrigerate while your milk may benefit from the cool temperature
there are a surprising number of food items that don't i cry like snoopy bananas
banana most banana lovers know not to put them in the fridge once you get them home from the store
however there are still some people that think bananas need to be kept in the fridge
they are of course wrong it's safe to say that bananas don't benefit from the
cooler climate of a fridge because they are a hot temperature fruit
the cold temperature of the fridge can actually have the reverse effect on the
fruit by turning them black quicker when buying your bananas be sure to catch them
before they're ripe so they can mature at room temperature in your kitchen the
warm temperature helps to ripen the fruit and slows down decay another fun fact about bananas
they're great for your blood pressure but that's only when they are ripe and not rotten so keep
them out of the fridge okay okay melon what about the melon you ordered melon no i didn't
like many fruits that we love to eat melon is grown in warmer climates and therefore
loves warmth we see this when we go to our local grocery store as melons aren't kept in the fridge
usually a good idea to keep fruit fresher for longer is to do what the stores do when you take
your melon home and place it in the fridge the cold temperature can speed up the rotting process
and also dry out the juicy goodness try to keep them in a cool but not cold dry place
a cupboard or pantry is best but the counter will work just as well you'll probably be buying
these in the summertime so we can see how you would want to keep them cold and be tempted to
refrigerate them but don't resist the temptation the best thing to do is cut it up and eat it
quickly before it dries up once it's cut if you have some leftovers then you can store the rest
in the fridge for up to four days i want to eat melon when i want to eat milk potatoes and onions
come on man you just gotta get used to it cold climates convert starch into sugar much quicker
than warm ones that's not good news for all the potato fans whether boiled mashed roasted
or sliced up for some homemade fries we all love a good potato and you can eat them any way you want
just don't keep them cold when you bind them be sure to keep them in a cool dry place in your
kitchen such as a pantry that way they'll last longer and won't turn too hard before cooking
that's a good reason the other rule apart from not putting them in the fridge is to never store
potatoes next to onions the gases released by the two food items actually speed up the rotting
process for the other they may go together well in a recipe but not in the pantry onions should
also never be refrigerated onions don't just rely on warmer climates they actually depend on
clean and open air circulation to keep them fresh did you overcook this no i didn't cook it at all
spit it out it's raw you're gonna get sick coffee that was everything in my
fridge there are some people out there who keep coffee in the fridge come on you know
who you are don't worry there's no shame in it but you should probably stop asap those roasted
flavorful beans need good air circulation and dry air in order to breathe and remain fresh
a fridge only keeps the coffee in the moist cold trapped air alongside all your other foods it can
also cause a buildup of damp condensation which is bad news for the taste a little known fact
about coffee is that it is great at absorbing other flavors around it so if you keep it in the
fridge your morning coffee might just taste like everything that's in your fridge the best thing
to do is keep it airtight away from sunlight again preferably in your pantry that way the taste and
brewing process won't be affected by the cold and you'll be able to enjoy a nice cup of joe whenever
hot sauces oh yeah spicy to keep your hot sauce as spicy as possible avoid sticking it in the fridge
as the name suggests hot sauce is meant to be well hot not ice cold most hot sauces contain
vinegar and certain preservatives that slow down molding and bacteria from growing although keeping
your favorite condiments and hot sources cold won't necessarily speed up the molding process
it might just reduce their strength and power jalapeno margarita do we think that's too spicy
you might think you have taste buds made of steel but is your fridge helping you out next time keep
your bottle of tabasco on the kitchen counter and see if the heat sticks around longer we bet you'll
notice the difference not only that but keeping your hot sources in the pantry can increase their
shelf life by up to three years are you okay yeah no i'm fine i always react this way to spicy food
garlic no garlic makes me smell like a garlic if you want your garlic to sprout those lovely
green shoots early refrigerators will take care of that for you it will also attract mold on the skin
and within the inner layers of each bulb but if you want to keep it for as long as possible
to the countertop it is but really the choice is up to you but we would recommend keeping it
somewhere dry and warm well you are the boss the thing about accidentally putting your garlic in
the fridge is that most of the rotting occurs from inside the cloves first you may think that
your garlic is doing fine in the fridge until you need it then you peel off the skin and discover
the dried out moldy garlic even when you have broken open the garlic and used some don't put
the rest in the fridge this will only speed up the molding keep it in a dry place and use it
within a couple of weeks garlic intolerant bread you shouldn't keep your bread in the refrigerator
if there's a one thing that many people do wrong with their food it's putting bread in the fridge
we all know this isn't a good thing after all they don't sell bread in the refrigerator section in
any store but somehow many of us think that it will last longer in the fridge we don't know why
or where we heard this from but many of us still think this to be true however it is not stay
illness is caused by crystallization of the starch molecules which occurs faster at cool temperatures
you should never keep bread in your fridge as it makes it look and feel older than it actually is
cold air speeds up the stalin process which will make it go stale faster when it comes to bread
the only time it should be in the fridge is in the form of a sandwich once the bread is cut
and joined with all your favorite fillings its components act a little differently
and the bread is actually protected in loaf form on the other hand it's a big no-no bread
honey i simply came here to inquire about honey we have all been in a situation when we do a little
spring cleaning and find an old jar of honey in the back of the cupboard we can't remember
when we bought it or how long it's been there but when we try it the honey still tastes good
honey is one of those things that can take years before spoiling when capped in an airtight jar
oh that explains everything no one really knows why but if you keep honey in the fridge
this won't happen if you keep this sweet item in your fridge you might see it crystallized which
will give it a tough texture it will make scooping nature's nectar that much harder and your oatmeal
and yogurt a lot less satisfying that's because the cold air speeds up the process of making the
honey go bad very quickly the best thing to do is put it in the pantry and you can pretty much
leave it there indefinitely you put it on the fridge peanut butter i almost lost it when you
said to put it on the fridge whether you like crunchy or smooth we can all agree that peanut
butter is enjoyed best when you can actually spread the darn stuff there's nothing worse
than going to make a pb j sandwich and having to wait for it to warm up to stick your knife in
keeping it in the fridge hardens the spread and makes it hard to actually apply to bread crunchy
you can't spread it the cold air thickens the peanut butter just as it does with regular butter
but more than that the fridge will actually affect the flavor of your favorite spread
as like other condiments peanut butter can absorb other flavors around it the best thing to do next
time is keep it in the cupboard and avoid this problem all together no longer will the bread
have to battle between hard peanut butter and soft jelly creamy peanut butter is a ripoff
where's the nuts pickles i turned myself into a pickle everyone has a jar of pickles in the
fridge however it may be interesting to know that keeping pickles in the fridge is a bad idea
apparently not many people know this but it's true it was news to us a jar of pickles contains the
same vinegar that hot sauces and other condiments do meaning refrigerators will have the same effect
on your favorite pickled cucumbers and dull the flavor it can be tempting to keep these things
fresh in the fridge but you're actually doing the opposite are you judging me the vinegar will
react a lot quicker if it is stored in a cold place it's best to keep these in a cupboard in
your kitchen and save refrigeration for only a few minutes if necessary maybe just before you
cut them for a salad or a snack if kept in an airtight jar your pickles will last for a very
very long time whose pickle is this ketchup stupid bridge stupid fridge guys there's one big debate
among condiment lovers everywhere and that is where do you keep your ketchup in the fridge or in
the cupboard most of us probably keep our ketchup in the fridge once it's open that does seem like
the sensible thing to do however this would be the wrong thing to do the vinegar in the sauce reacts
badly to the cold air over time making the tomato ketchup lose its flavor sicken even more and taste
more vinegar-like than tomato like thank you vinegar it's best to keep it in the cupboard
where it belongs and it will keep the taste and flavor for a lot longer this will also
prevent the runny watered residue we all hate and try to avoid the same can be said for other
condiments with high amounts of vinegar such as soy sauce so keep it in mind once you crack
open that new bottle who's this i told you i'm seeing someone else hi i'm heinz's new mustard
avocados we have all these beautiful avocados from mexico but where are the chips most food
lovers know that the best time to purchase avocados is just before they're completely
ripe the reason for this is because avocados have a very short shelf life once ripe the best thing
to do is buy an under-ripe avocado and leave it on the counter while it finishes its ripening process
no i don't know how to pick out an avocado well they got to be soft how soft but not too soft this
will make for the perfect avocado as well as the perfect guacamole however there are some people
that put avocados in the fridge as soon as they buy them this is not a good idea as the fridge
will slow down or stop the ripening stage entirely and you'll be left with hard and inedible avocados
unfortunately the battle begins as the avocado fights nature and the brownness that follows
putting it in the fridge after it's ripe might slow this down a little but not very much the
best thing to do is eat those avocados as soon as they're ripe you are the avocado
master tomatoes you're a tomato a tomato doesn't have logic a tomato can't move we understand the
urge to put a nice cold tomato in your sandwich or salad especially in the summertime it just
brings an unexplainable freshness to your food but putting a tomato in the fridge can cause the
fruit to gain a grainy weird texture it will also help the tomato lose most of its flavor
and juiciness my brother was squeezed to death it might disappoint tomato lovers to learn that
this succulent fruit yes it is a fruit should be kept at room temperature and not in the fridge
the best way to store tomatoes is in a warm and dry area avoiding the growth of crystals and
accelerated rotting if you want them chilled in a salad consider putting them in the fridge for
a few minutes before you cut them but the rest of the time leaves them on the counter vegetable
counter peppers you won't eat my stuffed peppers but you'll eat our sun okay we're about to break
down a commonly held myth for you all fridges don't add crispness or increase the spiciness of
peppers or any other salad items for that matter we know you've probably spent your entire life
thinking that this was true but it's not how dare you how dare i consider this myth debunked in fact
the cold temperature will decrease the spiciness of your favorite peppers and also soften them not
make them crunchier the cold air adds moisture and in a short amount of time will make the peppers go
soggy this is actually true for most salad items lettuce and cucumbers in particular
the best thing to do is keep them in a bag in a dry place to keep as much of the taste as
possible that way you'll be sure to have a nice crispy salad every time noted tropical fruits
bring back the fridge bring back the fridge when it comes to fruit our instinct is to put it all
in the fridge however there are very few fruits that should actually go in the fridge tropical
fruits are a particular no-no and talking about refrigerating what's one thing tropical fruits all
have in common mangoes passion fruit coconut and pineapple are all grown in hot climates
meaning they are literally designed to retain their texture and moisture in warm temperatures
typical tropical island that's why it's not advised to keep them in the fridge
they're simply not used to it next time store these on the counter in your kitchen
but be sure to wrap them in protective materials to keep the flies at bay it must also be noted
that non-tropical fruits such as apples and pears shouldn't go in the fridge either they too
should be kept at room temperature my poor fridge who did this to you try out more great videos
