Do you keep your ketchup in the fridge?

[SteinFaust]

i do, i rly like fresh hot french fries with cold ketchup, only prob is my family doesnt like to keep it in there, so i have to put it away myself.

i put ours away too, then the fuckers take it back out by the time i get back home! then they have the nerve to tell me my way is WRONG.

I keep it in the fridge. It's better that way.

 

[Icarion (aka Stockholm)]

I keep my bottle in the fridge.

I always keep it in the fridge, I love nuking my hotdogs til they're to hot to eat and smothering them in cool ketchup so you don't burn your tongue. That can be applied to any hot food.

for exactley this reason

Ketchup, yes. Peanut butter, no.

I keep mine in the cabinet. Growing up, my family always kept it in the fridge and I thought that this was "law", until I moved out. After working at a bar that uses ketchup, I began thinking, why do I put the ketchup in the fridge when restaurants leave them out? Then I saw a special on the news on "perishable items" and how most items that we keep in the fridge can be kept in our cabinets for a long long time. The one item they really focused on was ketchup and how it's 100% safe to keep it out of the fridge.
I personally enjoy my ketchup at room temperature and feel that having it chilled will partially ruin whatever I'm eating it on.

Yes, it has a big REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING on it, so it seems like the thing to do.

Always in the fridge. They're even meant to be kept in a fridge. It's good to slightly cool down really hot meals and it does not change the game at all, unless you put more ketchup than there's food you're applying it to.

I'm a little fixated to keep things-that-should-be-kept-in-a-fridge in the fridge. If I use milk/cheese/butter or anything the like, they must be instantly put back to the fridge after use. I can't stand it when some people leave a carton of milk or a cheese to the table for couple hours or so, in fact I can't even stand if a carton of milk has been left on a table for five minutes. Milk, for example, starts to taste different, if it's gotten warm at any point. No matter if it's been cooled afterwards. And it goes bad way faster too. Some sort of cheeses gets all soft and you can't slice them as nicely.

Everything that's supposed to be in the fridge, should be there. Except for the time it is being used or transported. This is a dead serious matter not to be taken lightly! Kind of like AIDS or the fact that Russell Crowe shouldn't act.

Of course!
Products do tend to spoil...

 

[PurplePlatypus]

Nope. I don?t care what the bottle says it keeps just fine outside the fridge. I?m not even sure when the stuff goes off, it?s just a bunch of flavouring, vinegar and such, it probably preserves itself quite nicely.

Any condiment can go bad, given time, if not refridgerated after opened. They can be kept out, without harm, for a few days, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea. So yes, my ketchup is regularly in the fridge.

 

[mad825]

yes and no.

I when I remember it goes in the fridge however I tend to forget....all the time and spends roughly 40% of it's life outside the fridge

 

[The Eggplant]

Nope, because I hate ketchup.

I do, however, keep my salsa in the fridge, and my suitemate keeps his mustard and hummus in there.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

No, I keep it in the cupboard plus sauces don't taste nice when they've been in the fridge.

 

[tomtom94]

Yes.
Because...there's no room in the cupboard, I think. Apart from that, just cause.

It stays there along with the salad cream.

[Nouw]

I keep it in the fridge. Because it says so...

 

[C95J]

yes, yes I do.

 

[MonocleClaire]

No! Are you mad?!

 

[Serenegoose]

Cupboard for sure. Cold ketchup sounds nasty.

 

[Chrono212]

Eww! >.<

I can't stand it either.
Because in restaurants you don't get cold ketchup but at peoples homes you usually get it X(

Anyway, anyone have that green ketchup that was around?
Tasted the exact same but was bright green

This thread has been done.

OT:Yes

Awesome, cool. Thanks for that. I'll now read the more awesome comments.

Seriously, its like you people expect me to necro a thread or something.

No. My ketchup lives in the cupboard. Wait, is cupbiard the right word? Pantry? Damn, it escapes my mind at the moment. Please pretend that I am using the correct word.

Cupboard if its like a... lets go with wall shelf with a door in the kitchen. Pantry if its a food place you walk into.

*looks in fridge* Yup.

I think this brand requires refrigerating so that might be why its in there.

You actually got up to look in your fridge? Well damn, I applaud you, I didn't think anyone actually would check if they weren't sure

I always keep it in the fridge, I love nuking my hotdogs til they're to hot to eat and smothering them in cool ketchup so you don't burn your tongue. That can be applied to any hot food.

Ahh, this makes sense! I never thought about it like that, I like hot food you see.

Eww! >.<
