27 Things People Claim Do Not Need To Be Refrigerated

I thought honey doesn't go off, or is that an urban myth?

Saw this somewhere that someone would spread Nutella on the parchment paper. About a dozen or more, they shaped them in a nice thinly board. Chilled it overnight, then they used it to crackle its bits for ice cream. For me I would have eaten it in one sitting.

Aren’t they chilled during transport?

I store bread in my freezer.

I do the reverse, put unripe avos in fridge and bring them out one by one a day or 2 before I want them to be ripe

Bananas are good frozen, covered in chocolate sauce, and rolled in cereal crumbs.

Who puts vinegar in the fridge?

Depends. Once the bottle is opened it will het sour over time. I used to put mine in the fridge, but thats not necessary anymore since we have kids.

Maple syrup definitely needs to be refrigerated, says a woman who was also told this and watched mold grow on a $40 bottle of pure maple syrup. Pancake syrup does not.

Pure maple syrup needs to be refrigerated to prevent mold growth. The not pure maple syrup has preservatives, hence no refrigeration needed.

Refrigerate the real maple syrup or it WILL go bad with mold! The fake, highfructose corn syrup, artificially flavored concoction of course doesn't need it, as it's really not food.

The sugar content of maple syrup is high enough that it cannot grow mold. If there's surface mold, then the surface of the syrup became contaminated with some other substance. The syrup itself is fine; just discard the moldy surface. (Source: we make small batch maple syrup every year for personal use.)

In restaurants here it's always at room temperature and also never refrigerated at home. Guessing it gets consumed too quickly for mold to grow. Also, always transfer from can to a narrow opening bottle, that means minimal surface for mold.

Maple syrup needs to be in the fridge after it's opened or it'll start fermenting. Learned that the hard way.

My husband makes maple syrup from the trees in our backyard and if it is not used up quickly it will go bad outside of the refrigerator. We gave some to both daughters and one did not refrigerate it but used some & left it on the counter. W/i a month or so it started growing mold. Refrigerated it will last a long long time ☺

The fake stuff, maybe... but not but real maple syrup, sure does.

Real syrup from a farm does. Fake syrup like Log Cabin or Hungry Jack can survive outside the fridge.

It tastes like pink liquidated chalk, no matter what temperature it is.

I've never heard of refrigerating tortillas.

The mold you see is not all the mold that is there. Its inside the food. You cant just 'cut it off' thats unsafe as heck!

Only if it’s not opened! Don’t do this with open jam or jelly. Especially if you’re double dipping your knife between spreads.
