永遠都不要把這些食物放進冰箱

Winter Squashes

冬南瓜

Squashes that are in season during the winter months will last significantly longer outside of the fridge. Varieties like acorn, butternut, and spaghetti are fine when put out at room temperature for several weeks.

冬天的南瓜可以放好久，比放在冰箱裏還要久。橡子、冬南瓜和意大利麪等物品可在室溫下存放好幾個星期。

Potatoes

土豆

When refrigerated, the starch in potatoes breaks down, resulting in a gritty texture and unpleasantly sweet taste. Instead, put your spuds in a cool, dark place to keep them fresh.

被放置冰箱時，土豆中的澱粉會分解，導致口感粗糙、甜的令人不悅。將你的土豆放在涼爽、黑暗的地方吧，這樣可以使它們保持新鮮。

Tomatoes

番茄

Chilling tomatoes results in a sad, lackluster flavor that's similar to tomatoes you'd buy mid-winter. That, plus a mealy texture, means you should never stick them in the fridge. If your tomatoes are about to go bad, make a batch of marinara or savory tomato jam to make them last longer without sacrificing flavor.

冷藏番茄的口感很糟，類似於你在冬季買的番茄。那種粉粉的口感意味着永遠都不該將番茄放到冰箱裏。如果你的番茄快壞了，那你可以做一批海員式沙司或是美味的番茄醬，這樣既能保持番茄的美味，還能讓它們的保質期更長。

Bread

麪包

While sticking a loaf of bread in the refrigerator can prevent it from molding too quickly, it can also seriously dry it out. Leave bread out on the countertop to keep the ideal flavor and texture. If you have to store your bread for eating later, wrap it up tightly with plastic wrap to keep all the moisture inside and stick it in the freezer. To eat, let the loaf totally thaw or slice off a piece while still frozen.

雖然堅持將一塊麪包放到冰箱中可以防止其過快發黴，但其水分也會被快速吸乾。將麪包放在廚房桌上吧，這樣能保留麪包的口感和質地。如果你想把麪包收起來晚點再吃，那一定要用保鮮膜將其緊緊的包住，這樣放入冰箱的時候就能保持麪包的水分。吃的時候一定要完全解凍，或者在冷凍的時候切下一片。

Onions

洋蔥

Onions turn into a moldy, mushy mess when refrigerated. Store them in a cool, dark area to keep them at their freshest. If you find yourself with half an onion, store it in a plastic bag in the fridge and use it as soon as possible.

放入冰箱後，洋蔥會發黴、變爛。把洋蔥置於涼爽的、黑暗的地方，這樣就可以保鮮了。如果你還剩半個洋蔥，那就用塑料袋包住後再放入冰箱，而且要儘快用完。

Honey

蜂蜜

If you thought honey was hard to pour at room temperature, it's an impossible task once it's refrigerated. The cold temps make the honey seize up and crystallize. Honey is perfectly safe to store in your pantry as long as you keep it sealed when it's not being used.

如果你覺得蜂蜜在室溫下很難倒，那一旦放入冰箱就更難倒了。冷氣流會使蜂蜜團聚、結晶。只要在不吃的時候將蜂蜜密封好，那麼放到食品儲藏櫃中是完全安全的。
