Certain items are at their prime when stored at room temperature.
1. Winter Squashes
Varieties such as acorn, butternut, delicata, and spaghetti will last for about a month or more in the pantry.
2. Nail Polish
Keeping it in the fridge can cause it to thicken. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
3. Coffee
The fridge (and the freezer) create
condensation, which can affect the flavor of both ground coffee and
coffee beans. Coffee fares best in an airtight container in the pantry.
4. Tomatoes
They can get mealy in the fridge, so leave them
on a counter, out of plastic bags. To speed ripening, store in a paper
bag. Once ripe, they’ll last for about three days.
5. Garlic
It will do well for two months in the pantry. Store loose, so air can move around it.
6. Batteries
Stash in a drawer at room temperature. Extreme cold (or heat) can diminish performance.
7. Onions
They like their original mesh bag (or any bag that allows for air
circulation) in the pantry. But keep them away from potatoes, which emit
moisture and gases that can cause onions to rot.
8. Bread
The refrigerator dries it out fast. Instead, keep what you’ll eat within four days at room temperature and freeze the rest.
9. Potatoes
Refrigeration adversely affects their flavor, so
store in the pantry in paper bags (plastic bags trap moisture and speed
decay). Most varieties should last three weeks.
10. Hot Sauce
It can live happily in the pantry for up to three years.
