這些食物壞掉了只能怪冰箱不好？冰箱說：這鍋我們不背！

在我們的生活常識中，冰箱可算得上是各種食物保存新鮮質感的避風港，只要是吃不了的東西都可以統統拜託冰箱。但是在保存一些食物的時候，冰箱是不可能時刻給你新鮮的哦，只會加快食物腐爛速度，造成食物浪費。

食用油

I』m not sure if this is classified as a food so much as a food ingredient, but nonetheless, putting oils into the fridge tends to turn them into a stodgy, almost butter-spread-like consistency. This is more common with olive and coconut oils, which tend to solidify at cooler temperatures and take a long time to become liquid again. (Hint: If you do make this mistake, put the oil into the microwave for a quick burst to get the consistency back).

不能稱食用油是食物吧，但是至少是食用成分。放入冰箱後，食用油會變得很粘稠、類似於黃油一樣的質感。這在橄欖油和椰子油中更常見，它們在較冷的溫度下趨於固化，並需要很長時間再次成為液體。

咖啡

In its ground or bean form, coffee should never be stored within the realms of your fridge. The trouble with coffee is that』s practically a sponge with smells around it, so if placed in the fridge, the coffee will begin to absorb any smell that』s in your fridge and the whole batch will never go back to it』s original arabica flavor.

無論是咖啡豆還是咖啡粉都不要放到冰箱里。因為咖啡有種像海綿一樣的特質，如果放到冰箱里，它會開始吸收各種奇怪的味道，也就再也回不到最純正的咖啡香。

Another problem is that with the instant change of temperature, moisture begins to come off the coffee, which basically de-saturates the flavor right out of the bean.

另一個問題是隨著溫度的瞬間變化，水分開始脫落，咖啡豆得味道基本就沒有那麼濃郁了。

西紅柿

The biggest problem with storing tomatoes in the fridge is that the cold temperature begins to play havoc with the texture and makes the tomato mealy. Ever had a salad with that tomato that tasted mushy and practically had ice crystals inside it? Chances are those tomatoes have been in cold storage for a while.

在冰箱里保存西紅柿的問題就是，低溫會對它的紋理造成破壞，改變本身的物質結構。所以你吃沙拉里的西紅柿會有糊糊的感覺，裡面還特別水。這就是在低溫中保存西紅柿的結果。

洋蔥

Much like tomatoes, onions tend to become incredibly mushy or moldy if left in the fridge for too long. If the onion has been cut, then the layers begin the process of drying up even if you do wrap it up tightly. Also, cut onions tend to engulf the location it』s currently in with its smell, which is why a lot of wooden chopping boards make everything taste like onion after a while.

其實和西紅柿一樣，洋蔥放在冰箱時間太長也會有糊糊的或者發霉的感覺。要是洋蔥被切開放在冰箱里，無論怎麼緊密包裹，表面也都會幹。還有更糟糕的問題，切開的洋蔥簡直就是無敵破壞王，總是能讓周圍都瀰漫著它的味道。這就是為什麼在砧板上切過洋蔥之後，都會帶著它的味道。

土豆

The cold temperature generally starts to break down the starch within potatoes; therefore, refrigerating it will leave you with a sweet or gritty potato, which rarely tastes good at this stage no matter what you do with it.

低溫會漸漸分解土豆裡面的澱粉成分。因此土豆在冰箱里放置久了就會變得很甜而且很粗糙。即使你是廚神也不可能把土豆做的更好吃。

香蕉

Whether or not you refrigerate bananas actually comes down to what sort of ripeness you like with bananas, since the cold temperature within the fridge it tends to slow down the ripening process. Therefore, placing a green banana in your fridge will mean that it』ll pretty much stay green for an incredibly long time.

無論你是不是把香蕉放到冰箱里，都取決於你喜歡吃什麼熟度的香蕉。因為低溫會抑制香蕉變熟的程度。因此，把青香蕉放到冰箱里意味著，它很長一段時間都會是青香蕉。

On the other hand, if you have ripe bananas that are ready to be eaten, but no plans to do so, now is the time to put them in your fridge. The skin may turn black or brown, but the fruit inside will remain perfect.

另一方面，如果你的香蕉熟透了，但是你又不想吃掉他，這個時候放到冰箱里，香蕉皮會變黑，但是裡面的部分倒還是可以的。

蜂蜜

Find a 1000 year old jar of honey, and it』ll be as fresh as the day it was put into that jar–honey a naturally preserved food. Putting honey into the fridge will increase the speed of the sugar crystallization which turns it into an almost dough-like form, making for a hard time to scoop out.

即使是千年的蜂蜜，只要放到罐子里它還是很新鮮的，因為蜂蜜就是天然罐儲食物。把蜂蜜放到冰箱里會加速糖分結晶，形成一團一團的，就算是用勺子也很難舀出。

大蒜

Garlic likes to go off pretty quickly in the fridge, it』ll grow mold and go rubbery-soft when put into the fridge. What makes it worse is that the look on the outside rarely changes, so you』ll never be able to tell until you decide to slice some up to fry up with your chili and prawns.

大蒜在冰箱里很容易變質，會長黴菌而且變得很有韌性。更糟糕的是外表還看不出來有什麼變化，不到切開的一刻，這永遠是個秘密。

牛油果

A lot of the times when you buy an avocado from the store, it』ll be solid, almost stone-hard; therefore, it』ll need a considerable amount of time to ripen properly and taste great! Putting the avocado in the fridge will just completely stop it from ripening–much like the banana, it practically freezes in time.

很多時候，從商店買到的牛油果會很堅實，所以距離你嘗到它的美味還需要相當長的時間， 將牛油果放入冰箱將完全阻止它成熟，就像香蕉一樣，原來不熟，放久了一樣不熟。

麵包

Breads don』t tend to do that well being stored in the fridge. The only time you should refrigerate bread is when it is in sandwich form, as it likes to go incredibly tough and chewy in the cold temperature. The cold temperature also promotes the bread to become stale far more quickly.

麵包通常在冰箱里都不會表現得很好。唯一你需要冷藏的是三明治。因為再低溫中麵包通常會很堅硬很有較勁，通常在冰箱裡面包很快就沒有那麼新鮮了，伴隨著一股冰箱的味道...
