Ketchup and salad cream bottles are the wrong way up! Why do you have two different types of milk and why are they such disproportionately bottled?
I say the Ski yogurts are fail because I'm not keen on Ski Yogurts. I much prefer Tesco Finest yogurts and mousses, but that's a fail in itself because it's Tesco Finest!
Why do you keep your sauces in the fridge? :|
Not worth posting a pic I have an egg box, butter and some milk. Can't really afford to keep it stocked tbh, I buy day by day.

Final word on the subject is this:
You are absolutely completely and totally supposed to always keep sauce in the fridge. No question, it just is thus.

All these years you've been guzzling inferior quality sauce and not knowing it. Tragic in its own little way. Does go some way to explaining some things though.

really?
Food scientists for years struggled with packaging for sauce, and then came the plastic ones that stand on the "lid", the orientation of the labels give it away in the photo.
There is so much sugar and acid in sauce, putting in a fridge just makes the bacon go colder quicker in the sarnie

uncoocked meats such as bacon mince and stuff like that shouldn't be stored on a shelf with fresh stuff like melon

sauce bottles get chucked in whichever orientation they end up, never pay attention, only takes a quick shake to redistribute sauce to correct end :lol:

Fridges always come with the egg container things, is this a manufacturer fail?
Sniperdude
10-01-12, 09:32
MAN MELON :chairfall:
I think it is a manufacturer fail on the basis that:
a) No box of eggs I have ever bought say keep refrigerated
b) The supermarket don't refrigerate their eggs
The fridge is one of the few places in the house that has a constant temperature.
From the food administration
Why should eggs be refrigerated?
Temperature fluctuation is critical to egg safety. Eggs are required by FDA to be refrigerated as soon as possible. After eggs are refrigerated, it is important to keep them that way. A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the growth of bacteria that could contaminate the egg. Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than two hours.

Why should eggs be refrigerated?
Temperature fluctuation is critical to egg safety. Eggs are required by FDA to be refrigerated as soon as possible. After eggs are refrigerated, it is important to keep them that way. A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the growth of bacteria that could contaminate the egg. Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than two hours.
This is a very borderline thing.
There is an argument and scientific facts that you should both keep your eggs at room temperature, and then you should keep them in the fridge.... there is no definetive answer because both can create bacteria, but it sways much towards to keeping your eggs out of the fridge.
What creates the bacteria is the a temperature change in the egg while its being stored/before cooking it, warm or cold either way. And you buy your egg at a shop on the shelf at roomish temperature, it arrives at the shop at the same sort of temperature, once the egg comes out the hens *** it never gets put in the fridge and stays at about the temperature.
So when you get your eggs home you should keep them at roomish temperature (the eggs have been this way days before you even bought them and are fine, putting them in the fridge now doesnt make sense and can only have more chance of making bacteria)
Changing the temperature by putting them in the fridge can cause (although not likely and hardly ever does, but this is the most likely way it can) the bacteria to develop, and then even more so when you take it out of the fridge at room temperature before you cook it, and then even more so when you cook it at boiling temp.
Basically the correct way to store eggs is at room temp, but you can put them in the fridge and nothing bad will ever happen to you (probably not anyway) but will have much more chance of the eggs developing bacteria because of the temperature changes.
The journey of the Egg;
Hens ***> Barn> Box> Truck> Lorry> Factory (depends)> Lorry> wholesalers> Lorry> Shop> Shopping bag> Your home.
The Egg was never put in a fridge the whole time and was probably kept between 20-30 degree's with no sudden temperature changes (important with transporting eggs) So to put it in the fridge very cold as soon as you get it when its been this temp for its whole life if your worried about bacteria in the egg is the worst thing you can do.
You will have to take that up with the world wide food administration and tell them to change it then because they say that there isn't such a thing as a constant room temperature in the average house. :)
There isnt such thing as a constant room temperature in the shop/barn/lorry but there is such thing as a steady temperature. Its the sudden change in temperature from warm>cold or cold>warm which can cause the bacteria which is exactly what you do when you put it in/ take it out the fridge.
Not saying anything by it I dont care were my eggs are kept ive always been fine but if you are worried about the chance of them creating bacteria then you should keep them at room temp.
The world wide food administration used to approve milk from cows fed steroids so although they have good guidelines (very good ones now in the UK) not all their advice is correct.
Not for me to say all i done was paste up the text from the world wide food administration guide on egg saftey.
So as i say if you know better than their guidance from world wide scientists and experts then best to contact them and say it's wrong so to change the habits of the world for egg storage and for fridge manufacturer to remove egg shelfs and trays to facilitate the storage of eggs. :D :thumb:
Just the way it is mate, there is allot of evidence and advice you can easily find on the web to say otherwise, just because you read something from world wide food administration it doesnt mean its cthe best thing to do.
They only advise that because thats the safest thing for them to advise anyone and everyone and if they advise otherwise and someone lives in a very strange house or stores there eggs near the window or something where there is sudden temp changes its bad, the same as GPU companies saying you need a 650w PSU to power a GPU when you only really need 450w.
So for normal people to store your eggs in the cupboard/ on the side aslong as there is no sudden temperature changes and there is a normal average ambient temp just like it has been since it left the hens *** then its the best way to store your eggs if you are really worried about bacteria, personly I dont care but that is the way it is
I could post #56 again so you endup in an infinite loop arguing with yourself about caring but not caring from google search and copy and paste. :D
Dont understand lol.. just the way it is

Defrost meat
- in fridge (what I do, takes a bit longer but no exposure to bacteria causing room temps)
- on windersill/worksurface etc
Before cooking meat
- Cut off blood if needed and chuck in pan
- Wash in the sink (raw meat juice everywhere, I hate this method LOL)

Really!
I will get a picture of my fridge up tonight.
With regards Coilers sauces I think the first change was good as it got them into a height order :) (well the upside down right way up ones at least).
Moving on to eggs. The basic temperature range for bacteria to grow is 5c-63c. So all the time the eggs are out of the fridge bacteria is growing on them. When you then refridgerate them the bacteria goes to sleep (under5c) and so stop growing. You then cook the eggs (over 63c) which kills off the bacteria (of which there will be less due to them being refridgerated and not stored at a temperature that allows bacteria growth).

Heres what's what.
Main fridge
Top - Fruit
2nd shelf - Yoghurts
3rd Shelf - Eggs (also might be found on top shelf depending on what's in fridge) and cooked meats/products
4th shelf - Uncooked meats
5th shelf - Drinks
veg draws - Funnily enough this has salad and veg in it.
Door
Top - Chocolate :)
2nd shelf - Butter and cheeses
3rd shelf - condiments - no ketchup here that's kept on the side as cold ketchup is rank
4th shelf - Water filter and milk (with an opened bottle of passata as well).
Things may move slightly depending on if there's is more of one type than another, but that's the general layout.

Cold chocolate tastes of nothing at all.
It's like storing red wine in the fridge, it's universally frowned upon.
What a load of rubbish, stick a single cube of cold chocolate in your mouth and then just let it melt, that's a great thing.
put it in mouth from the drawer and its much more pleasurable!
Also 99% of drawers are cool enough to store choc without melt risk :+1
