Do you refrigerate...

[Disney Doll]

See below

Butter?
Ketchup? yes...after opening
Mustard? yes...after opening
Syrup? yes...after opening
Soy Sauce? yes..after opening
Vinegar? no

I saw a thread some where else where there was a disagreement regarding this and I'm wondering what most people here do.

 

[Todd&Copper]

Butter? - Yes
Ketchup? - Yes, after opening
Mustard? - Yes, after opening
Syrup? - No, but I use shelf-stable pancake syrup. I don't know if real maple syrup need to be refridgerated
Soy Sauce? Yes, after opening
Vinegar? No

And since someone mentioned peanutbutter, I do stick natural peanut butter in the fridge after opening. The jar (from Trader Joe's) says to do so. You don't have to stick the regular stuff - Skippy, Jiff, Peter Pan - in the firdge, just natural ones.

My grandmother doesn't put jelly/preserves in the fridge. I never eat any of that stuff when I am visiting her - the thought grosses me out.

Yes to all except Syrup and Vinegar. Although Syrup when we go out of town.

 

[paintnolish]

Butter, yes, everything else, no. My family is condiment crazy. We don't like cold ketchup, but we go through it really fast. We're still alive!

[JVL1018]

Butter?Yes, but only because I use margarine now. When I used butter all the time, I always had a stick out because you can't spread hard butter-always needed some soft
Ketchup? No
Mustard?Yes
Syrup?No way-cold syrup on pancakes? yuck!
Soy Sauce?No
Vinegar?No

Looking at this, I am not sure why I keep the mustard in the fridge either.
I hate cold condiments, and if it doesn't have to be refrigerated, it's not in my house.

I didn't used to refrigerate soy sauce, but my husband freaks out if I don't.

So the soy should be kept in...didn't know that. Mine actually IS in the fridge..who knew!? I mainly live off the extra takeout packets anyway, since we never use it.

Butter? Yes, but keep a small amount in the cupboard

Ketchup? --Nope, makes stuff cold if you refrigerate it.

Mustard?--Yes, because we don't use it often.

Syrup?--Nope

Soy Sauce?--Yes, don't use it often

Vinegar? Nope.

I had this discussion w/ my SIL about Ketchup. I told her it did not say to refrigerate on the bottle. She searched all over the bottle and we never foudn that it said to refrigerate it. It stays in the pantry.

 

[Ilovemylife]

Other than butter, I refrigerate everything else after it's been opened.

Some Peanut butters need to be refrigerated after opening, or they go rancid.

ETA : To clarify, I have one stick out to be soft and the rest is either in the fridge or freezer.

Butter? I leave a little out at room temp, about 1/2 stick at a time
Ketchup? YES.... we don't use it very much. A small bottle last us a long time

Syrup? 100%Maple yes, it says to. The rest no unless the lable says to
Soy Sauce? Yes
