Garlic:
“Garlic’s Worst Nightmare”
Like onions, garlic should also be kept out of the refrigerator. The cool, moist environment of the refrigerator causes garlic to sprout and rot faster. Instead, store them in a cool, dry place with good air circulation, like a pantry or a kitchen cabinet.
Potatoes:
“Potatoes and the Fridge: A Match Made in Hell”
Potatoes should never be refrigerated. Cold temperatures cause the starch in potatoes to convert to sugar, which can change their flavor and texture. Instead, store them in a cool, dark place with good air circulation, like a pantry or a kitchen cabinet.
Bread:
“Bread and the Fridge: A Love-Hate Relationship”
Refrigerating bread dries it out and makes it stale faster. If you want to keep your bread fresh for longer, store it in a bread box or a paper bag at room temperature. If you have leftover bread that you want to keep fresh, you can freeze it for up to three months.
