Butter
Similar to peanut butter, butter has properties that make it undesirable to store in a cold environment. When kept in the fridge, it can become hard and develop a wax-like texture, making it difficult to spread. The cold can also impact the flavor and potentially cause it to absorb odors from other foods. To avoid these issues, store your butter at room temperature, and only refrigerate it when a recipe specifically calls for it. This way, you won’t have to struggle with a hardened surface when spreading it on toast or using it in cooking.

Yogurt
Of course, we all know that yogurt tastes much better when it’s chilled compared to a warm version. However, when it comes to low-fat Greek yogurt, refrigeration doesn’t actually extend its shelf life – it’s simply for taste and texture. Greek yogurt, especially the kind with live probiotics, contains good bacteria that help prevent spoilage. This makes it less dependent on being refrigerated for preservation. Fun fact: aside from being a great source of protein, it’s also beneficial for your blood pressure and digestion. So, while chilling it is a taste preference, it’s not essential for yogurt’s longevity.
