13 Common Foods You’ve Been Storing All Wrong
It wasn’t until I was living on my own that I realized there was a right and wrong way to store foods. Until recently, the only thing I’d thought to check was whether there was a “keep refrigerated” message on the label. If it did, I’d cram the food in the fridge with all my other perishables. Where exactly to put that carton of milk or head of lettuce was easy: wherever it fit. Since then, I’ve learned there’s a proper way to store certain foods, and good reasons (like, er, preventing spoilage) to do it right. Here are the most common foods we store incorrectly.

I Asked Chefs to Pick The Best Pasta Sauce and They All Chose This Brand
When time allows, we’re all for a good Sunday sauce. Not only can we customize the flavors when we DIY, but also who needs an air freshener when you have a big pot of pasta sauce simmering on the stove?
Still, we don’t always have time to make sauce from scratch, and we hear from many AllRecipes readers that you, too, consider jarred pasta sauce as one of your pantry staples. And there’s no shame in that, especially when many supermarkets have an entire half an aisle full of solid options. Even the man who wrote the book on pasta, Dan Pashman, has said “Why make your own tomato sauce when there are so many high-quality jarred varieties available today?”
We wholeheartedly agree, so we asked Pashman and two other chefs and cookbook authors to help us narrow down all of the options. While we technically spoke to three brilliant food folks for this piece, five food pros have actually declared this as their marinara MVP. That’s because these chefs selected the same pasta sauce that’s Kristin Cavallari’s go-to and Ina Garten’s favorite!
