Tips/Steps: 
  • Honey should be kept outside the fridge at room temperature so it does not harden and crystallize.

  • Store nuts in an airtight container in the pantry to keep their flavor.  Keeping them in the fridge stops them from going rancid but also makes them less flavorful. Any nuts kept in the fridge should be toasted before use.

  • Coffee needs to be stored in an airtight container in the kitchen pantry. Do not keep in the fridge to avoid flavor loss due to humidity.

  • Keep bread on the counter top to keep them soft and moist. Store left over bread in the freezer for later use.

  • Jams & jellies can be safely stored outside the fridge in the pantry.

  • Peanut butter and chocolate-hazelnut spreads can be stored in the pantry in a cool, dry place.

  • Keep butter on the counter top in an opaque butter dish. For longer storage, store in the fridge.

  • Keep tomato ketchup in the kitchen pantry.

  • Store maple syrup in the kitchen cupboard and not the fridge.

  • Hot sauce can be kept outside the fridge once it’s opened without risk of spoilage.
