mayo doesnt need refrigeration (1 Viewer)

[DSP]

I read something a little while ago that mayo wont go bad if left out of a refrigerator. I decided to test it. Ive had a jar on my counter for nearly two months, its actually next to my coffee maker so the jar gets pretty hot when I make a pot. The mayo tastes a little different but hasnt changed color or anything. Ive been eating some almost every day.....having some right now on 12 grain nut bread sprinkled with a little black pepper

I havent got so much as a tummy ache so its true it doesnt need to be cold

What other foods dont need refrigeration that we typically think do?

Be sure to try leaving it outside in the sun during the summer. Report back to us.

Sushi grade salmon on the other hand...

Leave it on the counter, it also acts as a nightlight. Saves energy too!

Most of the things mentioned are well known to not require refrigeration with probably the exception of ketchup

Keeping it tightly covered helps reduce bacterial contamination versus making potato salad and leaving it uncovered on a picnic table.

DSP, is your kitchen unusually clean? Are fastidious with dirty dishes, wiping down surfaces, and such?

If you leave milk out, it can go sour. Put it in a refrigerator, or, failing that, a cool, wet sack.

Whether or not you can leave your mayo out depends on the brand.

Generic white rose brand

That's not mayo. That's semen.

I believe this is referred to as "natural selection".

I could go for a rhino urine and unrefrigerated mayo sandwich, right about now.

I don't want warm mayo.

It hasnt caused me any issues

I think a lot of people think you have to put regular old butter in the fridge, but you don't.

We leave ours on the counter 24/7 in a butter dish. Nice for spreading.

We keep ours on top of the microwave.

Also, whether or not it goes bad, it will lose flavor and the emulsion will break down into mostly oil.

My grandmom kept her butter in the cupboard. I used to love going over there and spreading that stuff on rolls. It was like heaven.

Im in NYC so its probably only from this region. Its the equivelant of any generic supermarket brand. White rose makes everything you can think of for a couple bucks less than the name brand

Perhaps you can explain your statement in the original post that "The mayo tastes a little different" if it hasn't affected the flavor.

Mexicans know that mayo is good for 5 years. That's why they talk about Cinco de Mayo.

UPDATE?

UPDATE?

"Refrigerate after opening" does not always mean a product will go bad. It is also to ensure quality
