Ketchup in the fridge

[Funkiest Monkey]

All sauces (Except for the fucking god among spreads/sauces: BRANSTON PICKLE) live in my fridge.

Ketchup in the fridge is fine. Ketchup in your eggs is even better.

Agreed.

I keep it in the fridge.It's good when it's cold.And It doesn't go bad as fast.

I keep it out of the fridge if it doesnt need to be cooled to combat expiration (as the recently opened bottle of garlic sauce does). Reasoning behind it? I have more cupboard space than I do fridge space, can put a few extra beers or bottles of cola where the ketchup would otherwise be ^^

Mostly I figure if you go through them quickly enough that expiration isn't a factor it's purely personal taste.

"Once opened, keep refrigerated and use within 8 weeks."

I do that.

Fridge, same reason as you

"Once opened, store this ketchup in a cool, dry place and use within 5 weeks." - Heinz ketchup. So yeah, it doesn't need to be in the fridge. The only sauce I keep in the fridge is mayonnaise.

*EDIT* I checked my new ketchup bottle, and apparently they've changed it to "Once opened, refrigerate and use within 8 weeks."

I keep mine in a cupboard, but I dont think it being in the fridge would be any diffrent...

I keep the ketchup and mustard in the fridge as well, why is it such a big deal? I don't get it... Anyway you're not alone. Let's form The Ketchup/Mustard In The Fridge Alliance.

EDIT: I also have the bread and vegetables in the fridge, but not fresh bread..

We didn't keep them in the fridge when I was a kid because we had 6 kids. So after two or three meals it'd be all gone. As an adult with a family of me and my wife we keep it in the fridge as that's what it says on the label.

The bigger debate I've had with friends is if Syrup goes in the fridge. (IT DOESN'T!)

I've always been taught that stuff like ketchup goes bad if you leave it outside the fridge... I guess if we had an unopened bottle we could keep it in the cupboard or something, but that's hypothetical.
It wouldn't matter during winter because the difference in temperature inside and outside the fridge is very small.

The only thing i hate being kept in the fridge is Peanut Butter.

I keep mine in the fridge. But ne-ver put ba-na-nas... In the re-fri-dge-ra-tor! Ahem, sorry.

 

[subject_87]

Well, it says 'keep refrigerated after opening', so I do exactly that.

Ketchup goes bad if you don't keep it in the fridge, so I keep it there.

it doesn't. in holland it doesn't at least.
