Remember, These 6 Foods Shouldn't Be Stored in the Refrigerator Door

3. Potatoes

Freezing can negatively impact the flavor of potatoes. Therefore, it's best to store potatoes in a paper bag. Plastic bags can increase humidity and speed up the spoilage process.

4. Salad Dressings

Like other condiments, most salad dressings, especially those based on vinegar or oil, are best stored outside the refrigerator. However, creamy, yogurt-based, or mayo-based dressings should still be stored in the refrigerator.

5. Tomatoes

Tomatoes will lose flavor and start to become mushy when stored in the refrigerator. However, to ripen tomatoes faster, store them out of the refrigerator in a paper bag. Once ripe, they will last for about three days.

6. Coffee

Coffee is best stored in an airtight container. This is because the refrigerator can cause coffee to condense and reduce the flavor.

7. Melon

Melons should be stored outside the refrigerator. This is because melons tend to spoil and become powdery and grainy when chilled in the refrigerator. To maintain their full flavor, melons need to be stored at room temperature. However, once cut, melons can be stored in the refrigerator for three to four days.

8. Honey

Refrigeration will cause honey to harden quickly. Therefore, honey should be stored at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.

9. Berries

Fresh berries already have a short shelf life, so remove berries from the refrigerator and eat them within a day or two of purchase.

10. Garlic
