I just read today that those little foil packets of mayo that you get at sandwich shops are good for 3-5 YEARS even at room temperature:eek:

From the label of my jar of Plochman's - Refrigerate after opening to seal in freshness. And from the label of my jar of Grey Poupon - Refrigerate after opening.

Cool. Ill just keep anything else in the standup freezer or outside.

If need be I can use my keg-o-rator for keeping things cools.

Edit: I have the Frenches mustard.

Edit: I have the French's mustard.

From the French's mustard site -

Q: Do FRENCH'S® Mustards need to be refrigerated?
A: Dijon & Horseradish Mustard will lose heat and distinct flavor, so we encourage refrigeration for both. For all other mustards, refrigerating will help maintain its flavor; however, it is not necessary if you prefer your mustard to be room temperature. There are no ingredients in mustard that spoil. "Refrigerate After Opening" is not required for food safety. It is recommended to maintain optimal product flavor.

Thanks for the info. The spell check brings the funny.

It's got so much vinegar in it, that helps preserve it.

Even here in california in the winter I keep some stuff outside since my fridge in my garage broke. I imagine it is plenty cold there, your only risk may be it freezing:D

:) I have this thing about anything after been opened goes in the refrig.. Plus I like mustard, mayo & any sauses better after being chilled..

Fridges I can handle.

The freezers are the biatch.

LOL, one went bad and within a few days of it's trip south I thought the neighbors were going to call the police to report the dead body next door while I cleaned it out..

I thought it was kinda wierd that the freezer started stanking up before the fridge.

Good grief, you have to wonder what's in that!

What happens is cool air travels downward, so the fridge stays cooler - Plus something about the compressor that heats up the coil inside the freezer box that makes all the frozen stuff go bad......


My ' freezer dead body' was in the garage.:eek:

My fridge freeze combo is a side by side configuration.

[shais_mom]

I know someone that doesn't refridgerate her ketchup or mustard b/c she can't stand putting something cold on something hot. It does not make sense to her.
lol

I had to deal with a "dorm" size fridge when I lived in a one room apartment. What a pain in the arse that was!! Ask Davidp. I had to keep ice cubes and ice cream on the ledge to keep it from melting. That was until it got warmer and the stuff slid off the ledge 3 stories below. I now have a bigger fridge (regular size) that keeps ice cream and ice perfectly!!

I was told that when a fridge goes bad or the electricity goes off, the stuff in the fridge is good 24-48 hours providing you limit the opening and closing of the door.

Blue,

When in doubt, REFRIGERATE!!!

It didnt lose power, when I went to get the cheese for my cheese burgers the fridge and freezer were blowing warm air in there.

I have always bought mustard and ketchup for that matter bulk.Now the can of ketchup i buy fills 1 big bottle and a regular size bottle,But..as you know the mustard bottles are alot smaller so the bulk container i have stays in my pantry and i use it as needed.I never found a difference in the taste.
