Thread: Things you don't need to put in the fridge

I am firm in my - eggs go in the fridge - beliefs.

In this climate eggs & bread go in the fridge. In fact, I put all perishable goods in there as well as some tinned stuff if there's room.

Oh yes, and tea bags too.

why the tinned stuff?

^ Tomato juice for the Bloody Marys.

I put my ground coffee in the fridge, the Absolut and my angora sweater in the freezer.

I didn't have much shelf space at my last place, so I put them in the fridge.

understood.

i must admit i would also put carrots in the fridge. i am not really firm about it but i would want to try to keep them chilled.

yep, most things go in the fridge, bread and eggs included,

I freeze all my English bread bought from The Mall in Korat. Snap off a couple of slices, as I need them, and once defrosted they're as good as fresh. Surely lowering the temperature ensures longer lasting. Or was I taught wrong at skool ?

Bread, no. Eggs, no. Carrots, yes. Banana's, yes but I know they dont have to. Biscuits, yes. Tea and Coffee will now go in the fridge.

It does. Scampy thinks food should be mouldy.

Bananas go black & soft in a fridge.

Breast milk should go in the fridge too.

In the package?

After decanting.

scamp -- where do you keep your penis extenders? fridge, room temperature or in the cigar humidifier?

Scamp, did you give the maids and cleaners a good long stiff talking to before you fired them?
and those know nothing fridge maker's have even put egg racks in my fridges.

Problem with bread in the fridge is that staling is accelerated below 14 Deg, in colder climates industrial bakeries heat their bread dispatch rooms to keep them above 14 DegC.

euw!

I hope it wasnt sweaty...

My fridges are ant proof. Cupboards aren't.

Almost everything goes in the fridge.

My wife is Thai, so you can find her surplus perfume stock and swimsuit in the fridge too. Don't ask.

Aside from Peter's post that suggests bread goes stale more quickly, why not load all food items in there if you have room? I found a great place that sells French bread in Nong Khai Muang. We go once a week.

not so silly perfume can go bad in the heat...

I've kept mine in their before too.....

I agree that coffee should go in the freezer, and I am neutral on the bananas in the fridge idea, actually cold bananas would be quite nice - but certainly nothing tinned.

Basically, what I said in my OP is correct and anyboy that disagrees with me is either wrong, misinformed, or a retarded chimpanzee living in Jakarta.

How about a jar/bottle of honey?
It certainly doesn't require chilling. You gonna leave it out on the counter overnight?

Unless you scrub the rim (easy on, mate) or lick it clean (where is this going?) you'll wish it was in the fridge in the morning.
