Please settle a furious family argument....

[TheValeyard]

...do you keep bread in the fridge?

No I don't store bread in the fridge... but... if you store it in the fridge it prevents mould and slightly stale bread without mould makes crisp toast. So it depends on what you are after.

Abaolutely not

It's fine to freeze but refrigerating makes it go stale.

Yes - only because our kitchen is warm and it goes mouldy too quickly otherwise. We don't tend to use it for anything other than toast so doesn't matter if it goes a bit stale.

No, but I do freeze it

Of course not

No. There's wrong, and then there's that.

@TheValeyard

No, but does it matter if you do?

At this stage in the argument there is literally nothing on earth that matters more, including, but not limited to, paid employment, children's health and personal wellbeing.

Are you one of my family members?

But no, no fridge bread.

Hell no 🤮

No. Bread doesn’t not like being in the fridge. It does not need to be in the fridge.

No, we keep it in the freezer

@frigglerock

Bread, no. Cookies, no. Chocolate, no.

Eggs, yes.
Ketchup, yes.

Eggs better out of the fridge

No way. Fast track to stale city.

Yes, supermarket cheap loafs mold easily unless we keep it in the fridge. If it's a different type, more crusty bread then no.

@MagnoliaBeige

Yes, I assumed that was normal but it appears not! Chocolate and ketchup definitely don’t live in the fridge though!

I mean, it says, “For best results, refrigerate after opening” on the back of the ketchup; not much room for argument. I do understand arguments about bread and eggs, but when people argue about products that say “refrigerate after opening” right on them, I just assume I’ll be reading about their poisoned ketchup death in the Daily Mail or something, complete with photos of their family making sad faces and heartbrokenly looking out the curtains heartbrokenly staring into the fridge. Maybe have the family start practicing now, @MagnoliaBeige

No. Grim.

Yes.

Like SeatoSki my US kitchen gets very hot in summer, and also humid. Bread goes mouldy very quickly if left out.

But never cookies.

Fresh no but if its very warm and been a couple of days then I move it to the fridge

And we have to keep eggs in the fridge here too.

Yes, especially in summer

perpares to run for cover

(Cut loaves only I should add, homemade bread no because it doesn't last more than a day)

@seepingweeping

We have an American style fridge freezer so lots of room, but then I keep my spare food at lidl these days (reformed food hoarder, I had 39 cans of chopped tomatoes when I moved, oops!)

No.

No.
