What should and shouldn't be kept in the fridge

[MsShirlLaverne]

If there was room, I'd keep anything apart from red wine in the fridge.
The fuller the fridge, the less it costs to run.
I know supermarkets don't keep eggs in the fridge but they don't tell you to keep them as long as I keep mine

 

[EastEnder]

i keep bread in the fridge cos it stays fresher longer,especially in the summer.

You are more evil than evil Eric, the evilest squirrel in the evil forest of Evildom.

Fridges come ready equipped with 'egg-holes' (for want of a better description)
What else to you put in an 'egg-hole'? Eh? Eh?

Cadburys Cream Eggs silly!!

 

[EastEnder]

i can promise you one thing -

if eggs lasted longer in the fridge, supermarkets would store them there.

Honestly - can you see tescos missing a trick like that? it would cost them millions in prematurely spoiled eggs!

oh spangles, you are a bit dippy......

Supermarkets keep eggs refrigerated prior to putting them on the shelves. They don't refrigerate them in the stores because eggs will remain fresh at room temperature for quite a while, certainly long enough for them to be sold to the punters. So there's no economic case for them to refrigerate eggs once they're in the shop - it'd just bump up their leccy bills.

You don't have to stick eggs in the fridge once you've bought them, they will last a fair while anyway, but as with most things, they'll last longer if you do.

Good idea to keep chocolate in the fridge - it's nicer cold and hard than soft and warm.

A special hole for a once-a-year occasion?!?!

Can you microwave salad veg?

Once a year? Cadbury's cream eggs are on the shelves already...

...and not just in Tesco

What?!? Does Jesus mean nothing to these multinationals? He died for those eggs

Hardly, my gripe is salad not keeping long enough even though it is in the fridge...

I was, however, advised that onions don't need refrigerating. And being the gracious chap am I, I conceded that my fellow urbanites were correct in this regard.

i knew it was something amazingly obvious.

Picalilli should be kept in the fridge, but not Branston pickle.

It's all quite complicated.

Eggs are a touchy subject since a lot of fridges have those egg holders in them.

Like keeping eggs in the fridge?

They're a nice size to gently "cup" one's testicles.

On an unrelated note, my housemates no longer allow me near the fridge

 

[girasol]

I keep everything in the frige: eggs, bread, fruit (unless I want it to ripe quickly), vegetables, potatoes...

Bread definetely keeps a lot longer in the fridge - takes a lot longer for mould to grow, I should know, I've conducted experiments , same goes for fruit and vegetables.

 

[girasol]

wobbly boards!

 

[boohoo]

I've tried to keep my flatmates in the fridge but they weren't having any of it...



...and they drank all the booze while they were in there.

I don't keep eggs in the fridge, and I can't remember the last time they went off. I eat them up to a month after the sell by date and they're still fine. I don't see the point of putting them in the fridge.

A month Christ your brave Maggot

 

[tarannau]

New potatoes perhaps, but maincrop potatoes in the fridge? What kind of wrongness is this - they'll certainly turn quicker in the dampness of the fridge.

Put into a thick bag that'll breathe and block out light, store in a cool place, and your potatoes will last for longer.

In this climate you'd have to be mad to keep your chocolate in the fridge - it'll just be more cold, brittle and tasteless until it warms up to near room temperature. And - unless your going away on holiday - eggs needn't go in the fridge. Indeed they're much easier to cook when they're at room temp - less chance of the yolk breaking, they'll cook more evenly, better consistency for sauces etc.

 

[Pieface]

bread tastes damp if it goes in the fridge. I'm a bit hit and miss about everything else. Sometimes the eggs are in, sometimes they aren't.

 

[milesy]

our eggs live in the fridge. if they lived anywhere else, they'd come a cropper sure enough.

[EastEnder]

People who keep bread in the fridge should be killed in the face with a sharpened spear of frozen cow dung.

"How'd you like your bread?"
"Ohhh, cold & soggy please!"

So wrong it makes morris dancing look right.....

All hail the suburban king.
