_Elemenopee_

Do you refrigerate them once opened?

TylerJ76

Yes

UsedToBeHusky

Usually, but I don't panic if I forget to.

Yes. But warm up the syrup in the microwave like my Gramma used to.

you don't HAVE to with either, but i tend to put the ketchup in the fridge. not the syrup though.

LittleMiss_WillLoseIt

Yes to both...just warm up my syrup before using it.

JoyousRen

Yes for ketchup. the package says to. No for syrup. I use the real maple stuff and can't get the lid off if I do.

Only the ketchup.

DontStopB_Leakin

Yup, but like Windy, I reheat the syrup.


In the fridge, they're safe from the grabby hands of my kiddo.

Alex_is_Hawks

what about peanut butter?

yes....but then again, I don't spread my peanut butter on toast since I don't eat toast but I DO eat a lot of peanut butter on a spoon...so cold peanut butter rocks.

Rachlmale

Ketchup - yes
Syrup - no

I don't think it matters though... they're pretty robust foodstuffs!

I didn't know people refrigerated syrup... but yes, I refrigerate my ketchup. I use to not, but it started turning a brownish color which grossed me out, so now I prefer it cold

sarahthin

Peanutbutter no, but store upside down so oil does not separate.

SmartAlec03211988

Never.

I hate cold ketchup, yuck!

EatClean_WashUrNuts

No.

Mom and Grandma always refridgerated syrup. I guess to keep it from attracting ants.

vim_n_vigor

ketchup yes, syrup no

Great - now I have cravings for both of those. How can I fit those both into the same meal?

**I am pregnant, so don't worry too much about it!

Ketchup and syrup - yes
Pb- no

juliecat1

Ketchup, syrup and PB all go in the fridge. I'm paranoid about foods.

I warm the syrup up in a cup before using. And sit the PB on the counter to soften up before using.

keyz1508

Yes with kechup because I think you have to. I like room temp syrup. And peanut butter nvr goes in the fridge, thts weird to me lol.

if you're buying real maple syrup, it's best to store it in your refrigerated safe!
