I also hate refrigerated mustard and ketchup, but we still refrigerate them. Man, I wish I had the balls to just let that stuff sit out forever. Now I feel like a hypocrite since I keep those in the fridge, although it sounds like the shelf life of unrefrigerated mustard and ketchup is only a month or two. Mustard lasts us awhile but I swear we go though a bottle of ketchup a week soy sauce too looks like it can sit out, but that’s another one we use pretty infrequently Edited June 11, 2020 by Dan Lambskin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krista4 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 3/7 of our hot sauces currently in the fridge say to refrigerate after opening. 0/5 of our fancy vinegars do, but they're in there, too. Regular vinegars are in the pantry. This is not my system, so I can't argue for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustoleum Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Is it ok if ketchup, fancy ketchup, and catsup packets all go in the same container or do I need to place them on different socio-economic tiers of the refrigerator? I think the caste system in my house goes like this: Top: refreshing drinks/things blessed with exceptional height Shelf 2 butter, dips, some yogurt cups that are just there to impress visitors Shelf 3 bacon, things that will be cooked in the next couple of meals, maybe some bagels drawer one- deli meat, cheese Bottom:drawer two- decaying fruits, lettuce and vegetables - this drawer gets less visitors than a covid-ravaged nursing home In door storage is a wildcard other than eggs, some drinks, and bottled condiments There may be another shelf in there, we’ll call it 2.5. If so, most of its usable space got eminent domained for more room for the “talls” and it is largely abandoned. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA RAIDERS Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I ingest large quantities of hot sauce. Only the expensive ones , end up in the fridge. They are also the hotter ones, usually. So they get consumed at a slower pace. Also, some of my island specific sauces, are kept in t(e fridge to maximize their expiration dates. I have a sauce, that we use almost exclusively to shrimp, called, “blind in the rind” so citrus so perfectly shrimpy P. S. Cholula sux0rs. Big time.

The sauces that are OK out of the fridge are the basic fermented chili sauces that usually have fermented chilies and vinegar, maybe some garlic, maybe some liquor, and not much else. Think Sriracha, Tabasco, Crystal, Frank's, etc. The "fancy" sauces that include things like fruits and oils typically need refrigeration. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
