九種不宜放冰箱的食物

The warmer weather may make it tempting to keep your food as fresh as possible but putting bread, tomatoes and even cake in the fridge is a bad idea, according to experts.

天氣越來(lái)越熱，人們都想盡量讓食物保持新鮮。但是專(zhuān)家稱(chēng)，將面包、西紅柿甚至蛋糕放在冰箱里并不是個(gè)好主意。

Not only does it fail to make some foods last longer but can even ruin the taste of others such as coffee, the new guide warns.

近期英國(guó)好管家研究所發(fā)布的一份食物指南提醒，將這些食物儲(chǔ)存在冰箱里不僅不能達(dá)到保鮮的效果，甚至還會(huì)破壞冰箱里其他食物飲料的口感，比如說(shuō)咖啡。

And if particularly pungent items such as onions are stored there, it can affect other items already in the fridge, says the advice from the Good Housekeeping Institute.

據(jù)好管家研究所建議，若將洋蔥等具有刺激性氣味的食物放在冰箱，其氣味可能影響冰箱中其他的食物。

In the guide called 'Nine Things You Shouldn't Store In The Fridge' the GHI warns that soaring temperatures can lead to fridges overstocked with food and drink as we fret about it going off in the heat.

這份指南名為“九種不宜在冰箱儲(chǔ)存的食物”，好管家研究所警告說(shuō)，高溫天氣下，人們擔(dān)心食物和飲料變質(zhì)，會(huì)把它們都堆在家里的冰箱里，讓冰箱塞得滿(mǎn)滿(mǎn)當(dāng)當(dāng)。

It explains: 'During the summer our fridges are crammed full of extra goodies but there are some shelf hoggers than need to be evicted.

指南里解釋道：“夏季冰箱里總是滿(mǎn)滿(mǎn)的，但其實(shí)有一些多余的食物飲料完全可以拿出來(lái)。

'Or worse, are there foods that you keep in the fridge that would be far better, and last far longer, at room temperature?'

“更糟糕的是，其實(shí)有的東西在室溫下能夠保存得更好更久。”

So what are the nine things that should not be kept there and why? Here's the rundown:

到底哪九種食物飲料不宜保存在冰箱里?這背后的原因又是什么呢?

1. Bread

面包

It dries and goes stale faster in an airless fridge than in the bread bin. To keep it fresher for longer, use a bread bag in a cool, dry place.

面包在不通風(fēng)的冰箱里會(huì)失水變質(zhì)的更快。將面包裝在面包盒或者面包袋里，放在陰涼干燥處，可以保鮮更久。

2. Onions

洋蔥

Ditch the salad draw and pick a dry, ventilated area and keep it dark to avoid them sprouting. In the fridge, their aroma can taint other foods.

將洋蔥置于干燥通風(fēng)處，選擇一個(gè)黑暗的環(huán)境以避免洋蔥發(fā)芽。若把洋蔥放在冰箱蔬菜層中，它的氣味會(huì)污染其他食物。

3. Garlic

大蒜

Also needs to be kept in a dry, ventilated area to last longer. The fridge does nothing to help it stay fresh for longer.

大蒜也需要放在干燥通風(fēng)處才能持久保鮮。冰箱根本不能讓大蒜保鮮。

4. Avocados

鱷梨

Best kept in open brown bags if you don't want them to ripen too quickly. If you do want to speed up the ripening process, put them in the fruit bowl next to a banana instead.

不想讓鱷梨太快熟透的話(huà)，最好把它放在開(kāi)口的棕色袋子里。如果想要催熟鱷梨的話(huà)，可以把它們和香蕉放在一個(gè)水果盤(pán)里。

5. Tomatoes

西紅柿

The colder they get, the more of their natural taste they tend to lose. The best tasting tomatoes are those kept at room temperature.

溫度越低，西紅柿的原有風(fēng)味喪失得就越快。將西紅柿置于室溫下才是保持其最佳風(fēng)味的最好方式。

6. Honey

蜂蜜

Literally the only food that never goes off, so there is absolutely no need for it to go anywhere except in the food cupboard.

蜂蜜可以說(shuō)是唯一一種永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)變質(zhì)的食物了，所以它最好的去處當(dāng)然是廚房的櫥柜了。

7. Cake

蛋糕

With the exception of those made with real cream, almost all others will last for just as long in an airtight container.

除了真正的奶油蛋糕需要放在冰箱里之外，其他的蛋糕放在密封盒里可以?xún)?chǔ)存同樣長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。

8. Melons

瓜類(lèi)

Uncut, the fruits do not need to take up all that space on a fridge shelf. Once it's been cut, wrap it in clingfilm and put it in the fridge - but not before.

未切開(kāi)的瓜完全不需要放在冰箱里占空間。但是已切開(kāi)的瓜，應(yīng)該用保鮮膜裹著，放在冰箱里。

9. Coffee

咖啡

Although some foodies insist on having it stored cold, coffee actually absorbs the smells of other foods around it in the fridge. Best kept in an airtight container instead.

盡管有的美食愛(ài)好者堅(jiān)持要冷藏咖啡，但咖啡實(shí)際上會(huì)吸收冰箱里鄰近食物的氣味。最好還是把它放在密封盒里吧。
