Can kitchen spices be refrigerated in the refrigerator?

There are generally ketchup, sweet noodle sauce, Chili oil and other seasonings in the kitchen at home, which are basically placed on the table or cabinet. However, there are many kinds of sauces in everyone's home, and some mothers are afraid that storage at room temperature will affect the quality, so they put them in the refrigerator regardless of the willy-nilly. In fact, sauces are also divided into those that need to be preserved at room temperature and those that need to be refrigerated. How to preserve the spices at home?

Seasoning suitable for refrigeration in refrigerator;

Ketchup: It is easy to go bad at room temperature, but if it is taken out of the refrigerator and used for a long time, it will produce steam in the bottle.

Douchi sauce (miso): A good way to preserve the taste by freezing in the refrigerator and freezer.

Hotpot sauce: Sauce used for hot pot seasoning, such as sand tea, glutinous rice, soy sauce, etc. After mixing, it will go bad more easily than a single seasoning.

Mayonnaise sauce: If it is easy to go bad at room temperature, be careful not to freeze it in the freezer, otherwise it will separate oil from water.

Soy sauce: if it is kept at room temperature, it is easy to oxidize and affect the taste.

Seasonings suitable for storage in the shade at room temperature are:

Honey: If honey is placed in a low temperature environment, the sugar in it will become crystals, which will affect the taste and density of the seal and make it difficult for honey to pour out of the bottle.

Sugar: sugar must be kept in a sealed container after opening, or packaged and placed in a cool place. Because sugar has a very strong hygroscopicity, the moisture generated by the temperature difference in the refrigerator will be absorbed by sugar.

Salt: Like sugar, because of its strong hygroscopicity, it is recommended to put it in a place with low temperature and humidity.

Vinegar: Generally speaking, vinegar should be kept at room temperature, but if the weather is too hot, vinegar will easily deteriorate, so it is recommended to keep it in cold storage.

Olive oil: Olive oil may solidify in the refrigerator, which will affect the flavor of cooking.

Seasoned food should be preserved in the right way so as not to affect its flavor and quality. Bian Xiao wants to remind you that it is recommended to eat the sauce as soon as possible after opening it. Although it can be sent to the refrigerator for refrigeration, it will still reduce the quality and taste after a long time, and it will not be worth the loss if it is eaten badly!
