After a long romp, a fairly new g/f went into my kitchen, grabbed a 1 gal bottle of white vinegar from the fridge, poured herself a glass and tried to chugged it while I was still in bed recovering. -She had the nerve to think I tried to poison her (for half a minute)!

Read and use labels. lol

Why do you keep vinegar in the fridge? I keep the gallon jug in a cupboard and smaller container just on the counter

Why do you keep vinegar in the fridge?

Imagine the trouble if it rots!

When does that happen? I've had vinegar for years...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

At close to -1 weeks after it gets bottled.

Loool, and do you keep sodium cyanide in your spice cabinet too?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably a good idea for the winter since fresh apricot seeds would be scarcer. j/k

I like to call the sodium cyanide in my lab Almond Joy

How much vinegar do you use????

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's good for toilet bowl cleaner, weed killer (including poison ivy), wiping down a large cutting board (not used for meat), fruit and veg wash, descaling / removing water marks, rainbow stains or chrome / nickel residue in pans, it softens fabrics if added to laundry, is used for mayonnaise, salad dressings, sticky rice, deodorizing, and combined with baking soda has been the only thing that worked for a clogged drain. It's also cheap in the gallon size and practically free for people on SNAP. (a lot)

That's a lot of good reasons for keeping a large quantity of vinegar, but I think we're still mystified as to why you keep it in the fridge

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't anymore, but.. I liked it cold for some applications like canned spinach (cools that steaming pile of mushy green down). If I were to make things like mayonnaise with it, it keeps the ingredients in the safe temperature zone or gets them there faster.

[–] zalgotext 1 points 1 week ago

Huh, yeah that makes a ton of sense. I'm gonna have to find a recipe for spinach canned with vinegar, that sounds fire

[–] Tar_alcaran 2 points 1 week ago

Oh, I use cleaner vinegar for that, it's cheaper, but I don't think you're supposed to eat that. I guess just getting a jerrycan of edible vinegar makes sense.
