Jerky/Biltong
It makes perfect sense—jerky is simply dried meat, so why store it in a place with moisture? The best jerky stays dry for extended periods, and your kitchen cupboard or counter is the ideal spot. Keep it at room temperature in a dry, airtight container, and you’ll be able to enjoy it over time without worrying about it going bad.

Tomatoes
We get it—the idea of a cold tomato in your sandwich or salad is tempting. But refrigerating tomatoes can lead to a grainy, unpleasant texture. Tomato lovers beware: these juicy fruits should be stored at room temperature, not in the fridge. Keep them in a warm, dry spot to prevent crystal formation and premature rotting. If you prefer a chilled tomato in your salad, just pop it in the fridge for a few minutes before slicing.
