30 Foods You've Been Storing All Wrong
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
40% - that’s how much of the food you buy ends up getting tossed right in the garbage. 40%! Surprised? The culprit: improper storage. We are used to storing everything in our fridges: fruits, vegetables, sweets, breads. Some people also keep sauces, marinades, and cans in their fridges, just in case. But often, while storing foods like this might extend their shelf life, it can actually be harmful for the products.
Did you know, for example, that tomatoes get even more flavorful and fragrant if you keep them at room temperature (about 70°F) or above? Or that onion and garlic prefer warmer temperatures, too? They’re also afraid of light and won’t like being kept in a sunlit kitchen. And guys, never keep fries in the fridge! French fries, or any fried potatoes for that matter, contain a substance that can become toxic when kept in low temperatures. So, let’s see what conditions best protect some common products in the kitchen, and save you some money!

SUMMARY:
- It’s much better to buy small portions of fresh tomatoes you can eat within a day. If you’ve grown them yourself, keep them on the low shelf of the fridge.
- If you’re going to cook them later, just put mushrooms in a paper bag and keep them in the fridge. If you need to store them longer, first wash them, and then dry or freeze them.
- Don’t forget that meat is a possible source of different infectious bacteria. It can be stored in the fridge no longer than 2 days.
- Honey should be stored in a glass, ceramic, or metal container. The ideal place is dark and dry, so a shelf will do just fine as long as the cabinet has a door.
- Contrary to what refrigerator manufacturers seem to think, it’s not a good idea to store eggs in the fridge door. Each time you open it, the eggs get exposed to lower temperatures in the air.
- Milk and yogurt also shouldn’t be kept in the fridge door - they spoil there faster than anywhere else.
- The best place for grapes is a ventilated plastic bag like the one they’re kept and sold in at the store.
- Apples shouldn’t be refrigerated. They’re also pretty finicky, so keep different kinds of apples separate from each other and put them in the pantry or cellar.
- Oils should be kept in a dark place at room temperature. If you can't find a dark place in your kitchen, wrap it in foil.
- Young carrots can be kept in a dark cool place where they’ll stay fresh and crisp for a long time.
- Watermelon (and regular melon) will keep better if you store it at room temperature.
- Bread should be stored in a plastic ventilated bag, a cloth, or a paper bag, where it can stay soft for 5 days.
- Store tea and coffee in a dark dry place in a nontransparent container. Keep them away from food with a strong odor.
- Chocolate should be stored at room temperature in a dry place that’s exposed to sunlight.
- It’s a big mistake to make soup or hamburgers for a whole week unless you’re going to freeze them. The longest time leftovers can be stored in the fridge is 5 days.

Nope. Cilantro only stays fresh if it is in a glass you can see through of cold water left inside your fridge. Change water every 2 to 3 days until used. I've tried it all and this way truly works
I have to disagree with the coffee bc I'm a coffee lover & have been for yrs. Ground coffee looses it's flavor over time, the best way to keep it's freshness is to keep it in a dark container in the refrigerator, but NEVER keep whole beans in the refrigerator, those u store in ur cabinet! This I know from yrs of my coffee experience!
According to most of these tips I should have died decades ago.

It’s better to separate meats into meal portions before freezing as once you defrost meat it should be cooked within a day or two
When it comes to eggs they are still okay for consumption if they sink in a bowl of water. If they float then they have spoiled.

My rule of thumb is, if you buy products from the refrigerator or freezer departments, they should be stored as such. I also check to see if products need to be refrigerated after opening.
#12 at 3:56. Opening the fridge does not expose the eggs to "lower temperatures in the air". It exposes them to warmer air because the kitchen should be warmer than the fridges interior.
Chop up that unused celery after making your recipe, place in freezer bag, put in freezer, add a handfull when cooking. Celery adds alot of flavor to most dishes and its high in B vitamins.

Thinking about odors, f you have a Thermos or similar bottle that you drink from every day, you can clean it nicely with water and a little baking soda. Fill it about halfway and add enough baking soda that the water looks cloudy after mixing. Shake well. Brush around the threads and anywhere where your mouth touches often. It'll be very clean and all odors gone.

eggs. This depends on where you live. In the US they need to be refrigerated as the protective coating on the shell has been removed. This does not apply in Europe where eggs can and should be stored at room temperature.
With bananas and most stemmed fruit, the stem being left on will continue to inject a chemical to encourage ripening. Its best to cut the stem shorter if you plan on storing it for some time. Cutting too far, however, may risk exposing the inside of the fruit to oxygen to oxidize/rot.

I think they might have read the statistic ''$40% of food gets thrown away'' and assumed that it meant just food that people buy. Around 40% of food that is created gets thrown away because it doesn't get sold quick enough and shops don't want a lot of the produce that is harvested as it is odd shaped or the wrong size ect. Plus people do buy food and don't eat it.

love that you r trying to NOT waste food I left a like
So much great information.
I like the idea with the paper bags. I grate the cheese and store it in a plastic container on the bottom and top I put a layer of dry lasagna pasta so it does not sweat
I have to disagree with the flour assessment. In my experience, unless the container is absolutely air-tight, flour kept in the fridge will absorb odors in the same way baking soda does. This leads to funky flour than can ruin a dish.

Put the flour straight into the freezer after purchasing for about 1-2 weeks. Decant into glass or plastic container. Use but know pantry months will not live through the freezer journey.

So this is why my mom buys “bathroom baking soda” 🤔
Thanks fyi...need more than 1 refrigerator in my hse..🤔
I used to get eggs so fresh I didn’t have to refrigerate for days, they were so good, different taste than the store.
2:23 A lot of counties don't sell paper bags. I've got a solution I've been using for years now. Save these and for example lettuce in a plastic bag where you put a piece of kitchen paper in. My lettuce stays fresh for up to two weeks. After I opened the bag, I refresh the paper.
Anyone else caught after 9-10 he said 11 but it showed 12😅

He never said 11 & showed 12 then said it twice
The ones I've been storing wrong: carrots, flour and oats, melons. Also, I've eaten waaaay older leftovers than that lol. I've had food poisoning once: from a restaurant. Trust your own judgement. If it looks and smells okay, it's probably okay.
Thank you very much. Very informative.
Greens likes curry leaves or cilantro best kept in steel containers with holes for ventilation n yes the should be layered on tissues to absorb moisture any

if you get too much bread, you can throw extra into the freezer, it will keep and last longer

But double wrap it in plastic so it doesn't dry out. Putting a plastic wrapped loaf into another plastic bread wrapper works well. I also try to freeze mine in half loaf portions.

That depends on the sugar content! Sugar crystalizes when frozen!
I store loads of this stuff wrong. I have limited storage space in the kitchen in my current rented house, so I have to store eggs in the fridge, but yes, I store them correctly. Fruit goes off a heck of a lot quicker if stored outside the fridge. I keep bread on the middle shelf in the fridge along with butter, cheese, precooked meat in heat sealed plastic tray packs, same goes for cooked fish. The raw stuff and any other main meal items goes on the bottom shelf in my fridge and sometimes, plastic carton bottles of milk, which are sealed, so there's barely any chance of cross contamination. I keep all vegetables in the fridge, again, to stop them rotting so quickly.
Excellent vid! The only tip new to me is herbs in a paper bag. I’ll try it!
So informative! Thanks ❤️
The egg thing, depends on what country you live in! In the USA the clean the eggs which removes the protective coating! In Europe and Australia they don't! So eggs can be stored outside for a couple of days!

There are some supermarkets and produce shops in Australia that sell them at ambient temperature still.
I measure out several cups of flour for different recipes, place in freeze bags & wrap all bags in News Paper & place in chest freezer, news paper great insulator & items keep 2X-3X longer,I only keep small amount in glass container.
Thanks, great useful healthy ideas
did anyone notice that 12 appeared when he said eleven😂😂
Bright side becomes dark side because this video keeps telling me what I did wrong.

I freeze my bread on the day I buy it , you can take out how many slices you need and put it a towel to defrost and it is fresh as the day you bought it, plus for quicker to eat put the frozen bread in your toaster. Plus if you are away on holiday you have at least bread

The tune at the beginning of this video is so much nicer and quieter than some of the other videos. Any chance you’ll begin each video with the nice, quiet tune from now on?
