The point of these tips is that the fridge is humid, and these items don't do well with humidity. So it's less "don't put them in the fridge" it's more "keep these away from moisture and humidity." If where you live is humid, you might be SoL, or there might be other solutions for you to keep your food dry and cool
As much as I don't like to refrigerate chocolate, I live near the coast where we only have summer and Summer (with upper case), so the chocolate outside the refrigerator is going to melt, no questions asked. Same with other vegetables you have said, they just get overripe so quickly because of the really hot climate. Edit: ElCook, if you are reading this, thanks for the advice no matter what! And thanks for all the likes to you guys!
You can bet your ass if I have Reese's cups or Oreos here in Houston, they're going straight into the fridge. Better texture, no melting. And as quick as I snack on those, moisture eventually getting to them is never a problem
@alexberube5269 you are correct but it's just funny to say, "stop refrigerating this" while holding a bottle that specifically says that when he could have held a Tabasco bottle instead 🤣
@@David-id2ks Guys, this is easy to google. Frank’s website: “[…] The product will generally maintain good flavor quality for a few weeks after that date if refrigerated. Refrigeration will help maintain its flavor; however, it is not necessary if you prefer your Frank's RedHot® to be room temperature.” Obviously it depends on the brand but Frank’s, Tabasco, and Cholula all specifically say refrigeration is not necessary. The same is true with basil, most smaller packs of basil I get in clamshell plastic specifically say to NOT refrigerate on the label but my friend still does and it wilts and turns gray/brown in like 2 days vs 1-2 weeks.
Not all places are the same temperature though. Here its hot and humid. Last video you said not store medicines but seeing the labels it says store to temp not greater than 30°C and our temps here usually 35°C to 45°C
My condolences to you, that sounds like hell. I can’t even exist outside in 34C without almost getting a heatstroke, can’t imagine anything beyond that.
@@lavenderiris9744Have you been to India? If not, I wouldn't suggest it cuz temperatures here usually hover around 35° C and above. And from the city I come from, during Summers the temperature goes up to 48° C. Plan your travel during the cooler months if you're coming to India :D
Lol you should actually try for yourself first because with my experience it take a certain amount of day for that to happen and if you fridge has a dedicated veg drawer it help also. Plus it also depends what you use your bell peppers for…fresh eating probably best to leave it out yeah but if you are making stir fry or something that cooks the peppers I don’t think it’s a big deal end of the day and the peppers will last longer in the fridge.
yes i agree, i store mine in the fridge all the time and they stay fresh for days longer and dont wrinkle at all, i cant taste a difference @hannes5437
@@kevincerny2648 I’ve had plenty oxidize in the fridge too. It just significantly slows down the process. Edit: I’m not sure but I think you’re also saying that it’s fine if it changes color. Which is true. It won’t necessarily harm you but the taste changes a lot.
Same. They don't go bad, but I find their flavor stays more true to the original if you refrigerate. ESPECIALLY if you have more than a few and you're not going through any single bottle fairly quickly.
Fancy small batch hot sauces don't have the vinegar and salt needed to chill on the counter. Basic sauces like tapatio, franks, chalula etc are fine for counter keeping
@@dougnew8152it's true I don't like tapatio so Ive had the same bottle for about 6 months now and it's still the same flavor and color. I mean it's alright, I'm just a Louisiana fan
I like my tapatio cold and it stays fresh longer when refrigerated but then it really depends on the climate in your area. My area hot sauce tends to turn black when left out I won’t make that mistake again!
Rule of thumb. If you buy your veggies at the store and the store has them chilling in a cold climate, chances are, you should probably store them that way too.
When it’s too hot outside, chocolate has got to go in the fridge. Also, bell peppers spoil quickly unrefrigerated in my experience cuz I have actually tried leaving them out with the tomatoes... but I agree with everything else... except I don’t drink coffee so idk or care. Lol!
I put a melted candy bar in the fridge to harden it up again, and if it is too hot in the summer, I put the candy in the fridge so it doesn't melt. I don't like eating a melt candy bar.
Wouldn't those coffee compound crystals be water soluble though? So dissolving them in I don't know... hot water would probably solve that crystallization problem.
Source? I, and many others, regularly freeze our beans and have had no problems with it. As long as we make sure that condensation doesn't expose them to moisture for extended periods of time, they come out tasting as good as they were freshly roasted
There are LOTS of hotsauses that TELL YOU TO PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE. Not all are made the same way bro. Not to mention various temperatures for houses depending on climates and locations.
Don’t store your coffee beans in the fridge or freezer. Coffee beans are best stored in the container they came in in the pantry or other cool dry environment away from sunlight. That or a container with a small air vent to allow carbon dioxide to escape from the beans
Speciality coffee beans are best stored in the freezer. The enemy of coffee is oxidisation and coffee leaks co2.

Any longer and oxidisation changes the flavor profile. Tldr: keep your coffee in the freezer if it's been vacuum sealed. Keep in a dry place when open. Use within 2 weeks when opened.
Things like hot sauce and veggies that can be stored on the counter go in my fridge because my kitchen is a postage stamp with next to no counter space
Counterintuitively, while you shouldn't refrigerate basil, you can freeze it if you're just going to chop it up and mix it into a sauce. Yes, the freezing process bruises the basil, but then it stops releasing its volatile aroma compounds due to the freezing temperature. Just like other plants, freezing it preserves flavor. It does mess with the texture, though, so you can't freeze basil that you intend to use whole, like on a margherita pizza.
Bread is an interesting case, the starches recrystallize and capture the moisture, making it stale. Staleness is different from drying out. It’ll feel hard and dry but the moisture is still there. When you toast it again it loosens up the crystals and releases the moisture and you can reverse much of the staleness. Seems like I can’t link the video because of spam filters but you can look up “test kitchen stale bread” for a video from Cook’s Illustrated of an example of this. Doesn’t show the toasting part but it’ll show the moisture adsorption.
I love your mood and feel towards the audience as well as your pasion for not only making food but the little details too. I recently started watching your videos and (i dont mean to be weird) you seem just like my brother, my little brother is the same way he is about his hobbys/job, hell he might watch your videos.

on the counter hot sauce lasts 6 months, in the fridge it lasts 1-2 years. really it just needs a “cold dry” place, but that can be hard if your house is particularly warm.
I'm from south Florida... Everything goes into the fridge except for sugar, salt, honey, bananas and oranges, and all basic dry/canned goods like pasta. We will draw bugs in just a couple days if fruit or veggies are left in ambient air temperatures for more than 2 days.
That's because they have to say that for liability reasons. I'm sure their legal team looked up the legal precedent and determined that the hit they'd take in lawsuits wasn't worth it. It's right up there with putting expiration dates on shelf stable foods and drinks (your water won't expire).
I have always stored capsicum in the fridge, and they are always crunchy. Infact there one in my fridge now that's been there for a month and it still reasonably fresh no mold or rot
Yo Mr.Jose,I'm young and want to become a chef but I hear that culinary school tends to be a waste of time,so I was wondering where will I get the most out of being chef?Also how did you get great at cooking?
i recall in one of his videos he explained that he feels his experience at culinary school was a waste of time / money & you should learn cooking in a restaurant moving up the ladder doing prep / line cook etc. with hands on experience edit: with smartphones & accessible internet , you can learn a wealth of things at home & practice whatever you’re willing to put time into :-)
Apply at every single restaurant in your area. You’re probably going to have to start as a dishwasher for a while before they bump you up. That’s how every nice restaurant I’ve worked at, does things. Or you can work at a family owned restaurant and apply to be a line cook. Becoming a “Chef” is hard and takes many years to be decent. If you don’t have any experience, people will move on to the next applicant because training an employee who knows nothing about food safety or a kitchen is very very expensive and time consuming.
@@chefkadincoleman7the above comment nails it with moving up the ladder. If you are interested in skipping some of those steps. Learn as much as you can, read, watch YT videos, then email or call any local chefs and ask them to shadow, help out and learn during off hours. Remember all you need is 1 person to day yes, 1/100 emails or calls. Receiving a NO is common don't get discouraged. Best to you!
I learned the hard way putting my peppers in the refrigerator! Especially the red yellow and orange ones. They ruin quick. I have found the perfect place on my dinner table for my bread. It’s kinda cool there. No heat blowing from my vents in that area. I keeps for several weeks.
I make my own hot sauces, and fully agree on that one! Actually, I use them up so fast that they don't have a chance to spoil. And, some of my ferments go for months.
I am Mexican and growing up as a kid I got to see pretty amazing recipes that my parents would make. That is why I want to master the art of cooking and also keep the family tradition alive.
Okay okay… I DO like putting my VALENTINA & TAPATIO in the Fridge! I have no idea why I started putting them in there but for me… they taste better cold! (I’ll try and out them out on the counter for my husband does it for Cholula, franks, and other sauces… so ima give it a go) 😂😅
Wrong! Putting hot sauce in your fridge preserves the flavor of it over time. While it won’t go bad if left out, the flavor will degrade if you don’t put it in the fridge.
@@noneyabizz3403 I have a mini fridge full of hot sauce and grow Carolina reapers, I know what I’m talking about. Enjoy your funky tasting hot sauce I guess? 😂
Some people think you need to hot sauce in the fridge because they’ve seen it grow mold. It only grows mold if you’re not careful with the spout, if you don’t keep it clean or get food on there It will mold. Wipe it with a paper towel after use & keep it a good few inches away from your food when dispensing.
After watching a couple of these shorts on what not the put in, i'm convinced it's best to not use the fridge at all and just keep it empty and turned off
look at how it was stored when you bought it, and store it the same way. If it's just on a shelf in the store, like hot sauce, just put it on a shelf in your home. If it's in refrigerated section in the store, put it in the refrigerated section of your home, the fridge. This rule covers all variation in climate and produce which makes some stuff (like chocolate and eggs) sometimes fridge and sometimes not depending where you are.
The fridge is actually very low moisture. Refrigeration was literally invented as a dehumidifier which had the added benefit of also being cold. It gives the appearance of being humid because when you open the door for more than a second or two the temperature difference causes condensation on items.
I bought peppers from Walmart and i got home and cut them up to freeze them for food prep through out the week and 1 of them had mold inside... The other 2 were fine and luckily i had bout an extra pepper anyways and the onion helped fill in space
Additional note, chocolate exposed to moisture or cold temperatures will often "bloom" which is when it gets weird light brown color changes. This is completely safe to eat, just not very pretty as it's caused by the cocoa butter changing structure. Wet chocolate can be a problem though if you're melting it for dipping or mixing into other things, because it messes up the texture. Basically, treat chocolate like an oil
No do not put coffee in the freezer! I went through a lot of barista training and that was a huge no! The freezing separates the oil from the bean, which you don’t want. The oil has the caffeine. You lose even more of the oils and it changes the flavor. Also, the more a bean is roasted, the more oils come out. So, the darker roasts have less caffeine than the mild roasts! ☕️
When I was a child my grandmother always kept our mayonnaise in the cabinet. In fact, no condiments were in the fridge. Eggs on the counter. REAL cheese in the bread box. Tomatoes in the window. Her herbs were off the plant. Butter in a dish on the table. . . I could go in and on. Man, the good old days.
Unfortunately in humid or hot places we HAVE to refrigerate some things or they instantly spoil 😭
My apartment is humid af
and because we had cockroach, ant and moth problems 2 years ago, we still refrigerate out of fear of them coming back
@@NovikNikolovic cockroaches love humidity and are able to get into refrigerators.

@@prestonhayes6810nah I leave mine out, never had a problem. Ketchup stays out too.
@@prestonhayes6810 Tapitio and some others dont.
I've been leaving my Sriracha on the counter for years
Alot of this depends on the quality of your fridge as well, some crisper drawers have great settings for keeping moisture out
I stopped putting onions in the fridge cause of you
After watching a couple of these shorts on what not the put in, i'm convinced it's best to not use the fridge at all and just keep it empty and turned off
look at how it was stored when you bought it, and store it the same way. If it's just on a shelf in the store, like hot sauce, just put it on a shelf in your home. If it's in refrigerated section in the store, put it in the refrigerated section of your home, the fridge. This rule covers all variation in climate and produce which makes some stuff (like chocolate and eggs) sometimes fridge and sometimes not depending where you are.
Thanks for that information ... and your uniquely produced content. 🖖😎
Yay, I'm in your cooking school, lol😂
Love your tips!
I will now store coffee in my fridge to make it smell nicer and eliminate odors. Thanks for the tip. lol
Thanks for the information!
The fridge is actually very low moisture. Refrigeration was literally invented as a dehumidifier which had the added benefit of also being cold. It gives the appearance of being humid because when you open the door for more than a second or two the temperature difference causes condensation on items.
I bought peppers from Walmart and i got home and cut them up to freeze them for food prep through out the week and 1 of them had mold inside... The other 2 were fine and luckily i had bout an extra pepper anyways and the onion helped fill in space
Hey man i really love your videos,can you make a video on what you should store in the refrigerator.thanks man
Additional note, chocolate exposed to moisture or cold temperatures will often "bloom" which is when it gets weird light brown color changes. This is completely safe to eat, just not very pretty as it's caused by the cocoa butter changing structure.
Wet chocolate can be a problem though if you're melting it for dipping or mixing into other things, because it messes up the texture. Basically, treat chocolate like an oil
You're really assuming the fridge is more humid than the home. It usually isn't.
You are right, hot sauce shouldn't need to be refrigerated, but I've seen hot sauce (Frank's even) turn brown out of the fridge.
the one thing you should put in your fridge is a small platter of aquarium charcoal in the top level. it will completely eliminate all odors.
Thanks for all the wonderful tips! I had no idea that bell peppers didn't belong in my fridge.🤠
Bro got the bell pepper bundel😭😭
I just never seen Them packed like that 🤣🤣🤣
In Saudi Arabia, especially in sunmer, fridge is a must for almost everything edible, otherwise its gonna cook itself on the counter.
61 and still learning! I didn't know about peppers. I wondered why they kept deteriorating quickly.
Peppers can and should absolutely go into the fridge. If they deteriorate that quickly then you should probably change the place where you buy them.
Bro, I love your channel. Thanks for being so wholesome and always educating me on things 🎉 have a blessed year
No do not put coffee in the freezer! I went through a lot of barista training and that was a huge no! The freezing separates the oil from the bean, which you don’t want. The oil has the caffeine. You lose even more of the oils and it changes the flavor. Also, the more a bean is roasted, the more oils come out. So, the darker roasts have less caffeine than the mild roasts! ☕️
I absolutely love your content!! TY
Honestly, I refrigerate hot sauce because I like cold hot sauce, especially when you pour it on a mouth-burningly hot burrito.
Yo the basil and bell pepper thing is great to know man, thanks.
When I was a child my grandmother always kept our mayonnaise in the cabinet. In fact, no condiments were in the fridge. Eggs on the counter. REAL cheese in the bread box. Tomatoes in the window. Her herbs were off the plant. Butter in a dish on the table. . . I could go in and on.
Man, the good old days.

Actually. Hot sauce last longer when stored in the fridge if left out of the fridge it only has a shelf life of about 6 months 😚
Omg I've been doing everything wrong (except the coffee and chocolate). Thank you for your help. 😭😅
OMG, that coffee brand was founded by my grand grandpa here in Huila Colombia!, awesome
I have read that many coffee experts say never put coffee in the freezer because it affects the oils in the beans
Say Molcajete! Haha I learned that word from this channel and it’s just a great word. Can’t explain why.
Nothing beats frozen chocolate especially Reeses and mini snickers
I refrigerate herbss to dry them they turn out better and more aromatic
Thank you for the advice!
I live in the north of Western Australia EVERYTHING goes in the fridge.😂 not sauce tho that can stay out.
I didn't know about the peppers, thanks.
