Items in your pantry that need refrigeration
It is astounding the quantity of food that exists, particularly when ordering food from the store to eat. Thinking about you, below, you will notice some food goods that we suggest you refrigerate once opened, to retain their freshness and not spoil.
Ground coffee
After opening, keep in the pantry for 2 to 5 weeks or freeze for 6 to 12 months.
- Ground coffee should be stored in an airtight container made of glass or plastic to avoid developing rancid odours. Moisture is one of the main culprits in the development of bad flavours in coffee.
- If you want the greatest results, store it somewhere dark and at room temperature.
- If you do want to freeze your coffee, be sure you do it in a container that is hermetically sealed to keep any moisture out.
Egg substitute in liquid form
After being open for three days, the product will continue to preserve its freshness if it is placed in the refrigerator immediately after being opened. You are able to keep liquid egg replacement in the freezer for up to a year if the container has not been opened and the liquid has not been used.
Spaghetti sauce (refrigerate once opened and taken from your pantry)
When the package has been opened, the product has to be stored in the refrigerator and used within four days at the most. Because spaghetti sauce in a can has a shelf life of 18 months if it has not been opened, but just a few days once it has been opened, you should purchase it in smaller jars and use it as soon as possible so that it does not go bad.
Olive oil
It is possible to keep it in the pantry for anywhere between three and five months after it has been opened. Olive oil should be kept at a temperature that falls anywhere between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, according to experts. It is important to maintain it well-packaged and to store it in a dark location since there is a possibility that light and air may cause it to decay.
Vanilla extract
After spending a year in the pantry, the food will retain its freshness for as long as it is refrigerated after being removed from the pantry. Vanilla's volatile oils are readily degraded, thus it is important to keep it in an airtight container if you want to maintain the flavour in its purest form.
