Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)
Butter
Similar to peanut butter, butter has properties that make it undesirable to store in a cold environment. When kept in the fridge, it can become hard and develop a wax-like texture, making it difficult to spread.
The cold can also impact the flavor and potentially cause it to absorb odors from other foods. To avoid these issues, store your butter at room temperature, and only refrigerate it when a recipe specifically calls for it. This way, you won’t have to struggle with a hardened surface when spreading it on toast or using it in cooking.
