Ketchup
Here’s another common condiment debate: where should you store your ketchup? While most of us keep it in the fridge after opening, the vinegar in the sauce can actually react badly to cold air over time. To keep your ketchup tasting fresh longer and avoid that annoying runny, watered residue, it’s best to store it in the cupboard instead. The same advice applies to other condiments with a high vinegar content, so keep this in mind when stocking up on your favorites.

Pears
There are few things as refreshing as a nice cold fruit on a summer’s day. Sadly, if you want your fruit chilled, this is a pleasure you’ll have to reserve for other fruits. Pears don’t benefit from fridge treatment and should instead be kept on the kitchen counter or in a cupboard. The skin of pears is particularly delicate, and cold air can ruin their juicy and delicious crispiness. So, next time you stock up on this underrated fruit, keep them in your fruit bowl and enjoy their freshness for days after purchase.
