Told her it goes stale about 6 times as fast due to faster dehydration.
She is confusing staleness with bread gone moldy. Bread is not meant to have a long shelf life so it would be stale before it goes moldy anyway.

Yes you are right, bread should never be put in the fridge, keeps loads better at room temperature
You don't need to call your Mum "foolish"in the title.
That's disrespectful.
She should kick your arse.
There's nowt queer as folk.

I would therefore have thought the fridge also keeps it longer, although we don't do that.
It comes to room temp quite quick though, and if you are cooking with it it's better from the fridge I find.
Shouldn't the thread of this post be 'What do you think of Mothers who put bread in the fridge'?
Does she buy it from Sainsburys?
Here's the footage!
Well that was only part of the reason I flipped. I think I flipped more because she had been tidying up without permission and she was only a guest! On a more serious note, she stole several things from the house as well >:( Never got back what she stole.
Ketchup- out fridge
Jam- out fridge
Marmalade- in fridge
Peanut butter- out fridge
Salad cream- in fridge
HP brown- out fridge
Tomato ketchup should be kept in the fridge once opened, it even says so on the bottle.
Yup. Same for nearly all table sauces.
Cupboard stored sauces are a major cause of food poisoning.
This gets 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 from me
I've never put table sauces in the fridge and never had food poisoning.
Probably immuned myself!
Yes the pickles and jam etc always puzzle me because they are pickled and jammed to make them store for a long time. Not things years ago anyone put in the fridge. And pre common usage of fridges no one worried about eating all sorts of things we are now told to refrigerate
The problem with margarine is that if left at room temperature for too long, it becomes highly explosive, and can detonate with just a sharp impact from the butter knife.
Always keep it in the fridge.
And I keep all of my bread in the freezer.
If I want to use any of them, I'll get them out a short time and leave them at room temperature before I need them. If I need bread fast I'll defrost it in the micro or toast it.
