Person Asks “What Should Go In The Fridge That People Don’t Realize Should Go In The Fridge?”, Gets 30 Replies

Do you know what the most frequently used word is in the script of the Home Alone movie - which, by the way, was released exactly thirty-three years ago? 'Fridge!' Yes, that’s right - Joe Pesci’s character constantly utters this word when he falls into yet another trap from little Kevin McAllister - after all, the film’s rating did not allow him to voice another more appropriate f-word...

You may ask - why this excursion into history? And here's why - in my opinion, this post is the second work of art since Home Alone in terms of the number of times the word 'fridge' is mentioned in the text. So today we examine this incredibly wholesome and sometimes funny thread, the topic starter of which asked: “What SHOULD go in the fridge that people don’t realize should go in the fridge?”

Not only needs to be refrigerated but should be put in a shallow dish so that it cools faster. Apparently, rice has its own nasty bacteria that is rare in other foods. Learned this in a food handling course run by public health.

The idea that cold maximizes the preservation of frozen items is far from new, and is quite popular in popular culture as well: Steve Rogers and Han Solo certainly won’t let us lie. However, unlike many other great inventions of the 19th century, we cannot precisely name the very inventor of the refrigerator - because the process of its creation was rather evolutionary, gradual.

Today, a refrigerator can be found in literally every kitchen - no matter how cold it is outside the window of the house where this fridge stands. After all, even if it is possible to save on electricity in cold areas, is it worth constantly going outside while cooking? At the same time, the refrigerator is by no means a panacea for storing food.

“Of course, proper storage of products can literally increase their safety, usefulness and taste properties significantly,” says Roman Sardarian, a chef from Odessa, Ukraine, with whom Bored Panda got in touch for a comment. “But this does not mean, of course, that you can put anything you want into the fridge. For example, there are products that have an incredibly high level of odor absorption - like, let's say, melon. Even if you wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator, it will definitely absorb the smells of the surrounding cutlets, sausage or soup."

“But chocolate, honey or olive oil are products for which the refrigerator is generally contraindicated. Under the influence of low temperatures, chocolate and honey will lose most of their taste and healthfulness, but olive oil will also change its unique consistency. So any advice should be carefully checked. And, preferably, more than once," Roman ponders.

Be that as it may, many of the tips in this selection really look useful. Perhaps an experienced home cook knows literally everything about this, but who knows - maybe some of the ideas presented here will actually be educational to you? Although, to be honest, to freeze everything listed here, you need an incredibly spacious fridge. Perhaps you have one? Anyway, please share your own pieces of advice in the comments below.

Person Asks “What Should Go In The Fridge That People Don’t Realize Should Go In The Fridge?”, Gets 30 Replies A few years ago I was told by my doctor to start taking codliver oil. The kind I bought, when unopened, is shelf stable. HOWEVER in very very tiny writing it says to refrigerate after use. Now, I DID look for this and didn't see the VERY TINY instructions - and even though I should know better because I keep Worcestershire sauce and fish sauce in the fridge, I f****d up and just didn't think it through. I just figured it could go in our vitamin cupboard. Well, about a month into taking it I noticed it was discoloured and had brownish specks in it. I freaked out a bit and went over the label and even got my husband to look at it and we found the refrigeration instructions. My dudes, I had been suffering from an inexplicable and disgusting sore throat for 2 weeks. It stopped as soon as I stopped taking that batch. SO GROSS. And I felt SO stupid.

Lesson learned. But really, it's the company's fault for having fine prints on a bottle. Edit: I checked my two bottles of WS and didn't see anything about refrigeration, only about shaking well, and I looked everywhere on both bottles. I'm in Canada, does it make a difference?

Well, that one was a nod to the original script for Back to the Future. Originally the time machine was supposed to be a fridge and not a car. They changed it because they did not want children to get into the fridge and suffocate because they could not open the door from the inside. However, modern fridges have magnetic doors, so you can never be locked inside.

Person Asks “What Should Go In The Fridge That People Don’t Realize Should Go In The Fridge?”, Gets 30 Replies I was told this a while ago but it’s a good trick to remember with fruits and veggies… if it in the refrigerated section it should go in the fridge (berries, cucumbers, lettuce etc) if it’s just on a stand, it can go on the counter (apples, bananas, tomatoes etc)

ETA this was just a guidance. Do what you want with your produce. And for those that have never seen produce refrigerated at the store, cool. All the stores in my area have both and some even have sprayers on the produce to add moisture.
