Foods You Should Never Store In The Fridge

Muffins

Refrigeration tends to dry out baked goods like muffins due to the cold air circulating around them. The humidity levels in the fridge are also lower than room temperature, which contributes to the moisture loss. As a result, refrigerating muffins can lead to them becoming stale and losing their soft and tender texture.

Another reason why muffins don’t need to be refrigerated is because most recipes call for ingredients that don’t require refrigeration either. Common ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder/soda, oil or butter are all shelf-stable items that don’t require chilling.
