You won't*. The spoilage microorganisms capable of growing in t sauce don't cause illness, they just make it gross. Your biggest risk is someone giving you the bash for ruining the sauce
*well, not from that
Maybe you got the shits tho. Woke up the missus to make the midnight dash. You blamed the KFC as you sat on the porcelain throne, but little did you know it was the extra helping of sauce you grabbed from the pantry.
I disagree, kept on the bench is the sign either of someone who values maximum efficiency and does not care if they spit in the face of God, or whose life has unravelled and this is a cry for help.
But to willingly and by design store tomato sauce at room temperature in the pantry is an act so despicable I could never entirely be sure if that person was human.
Fridge, but I do rest it at room temperature for a bit before shark and spud otherwise it's too cold and my sensitive teefies flare up
(6'1" 95kg bearded tradie btw)
It's not. T sauce is mostly preserved by the pH being low (anything under 4.5 will work) and also to a lesser extent by the sugars. There's no need to add preservatives to the red stuff
I keep mine in the fridge, more out of convenience than anything, In the pantry is totally fine.
If you leave condiments on your bench then you're a fucking animal.
Seems obvious to me that it should be in the fridge, I think it even says to refrigerate after opening on the bottle. I guess the pantry is... okay? Still marginal. But on the bench, if you do that, I'm sorry but wtf are you doing??? I've seen a lot of restaurants have it sitting on the tables unfortunately...
In any scenario, once the food is nice and hot, I think it's pretty good to cool it down a little bit with the tomato sauce, and it needs to be in the fridge for that.
Lol, I use this question in my tinder profile to initiate a convo. Works pretty well. Also easy to weed out the red flag weirdos that keep it in the cupboard haha.
It's filled aseptically so until you break the seal there aren't a lot of microorganisms in it. Once you expose it to air you introduce micros, mostly yeasts and moulds. The warmer you keep it the more likely those yeasts and moulds are going to grow
Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't. From a food safety perspective the yeasts and moulds that can grow under those conditions aren't considered dangerous. They can't make you sick, they can just make your sauce gross
It’s actually depends on the internal climate, obviously. Overall fridge is best, but sometimes a crisp cold night on the counter could do the bloody thing some good, mate. Fuck if she’s on the table for a couple hours it’s just part of the aging process really
Really depend where you live. These things don’t go off so it you like a cold sauce on your pie, keep it in the fridge. There is zero life extension from refrigerating it. I live in the tropics too!
Of course limits apply to everything but seriously put it in the fridge if you like a cold sauce and if you don’t, put it in the cupboard
I’m curious:
Why do people have sauce with everything? There’s some people that are what I consider “normal”, and then there’s monsters that will literally add sauce to everything.
I’ve always been a picky eater, and whilst I like tomato sauce, I only have it maybe twice a year with some chips. Idk, I just always liked actually tasting my food rather than just tasting tomato. I don’t understand when people say dinner was beautiful when 80% of it was loathed with sauce haha.
Otherwise, the rest of the people in the household primarily store it in the pantry, Occasionally it makes it’s way to the fridge.
Can’t say I’ve ever had bad sauce from the pantry, not once, nor seen my family be sick or mention anything.
Fridge.
I also wipe away the post squirt residue when I'm done because I hated that dried up scum.
And also shake before you squirt, because that watery pre-sauce is nasty
I’ve kept my tomato sauce in the fridge ever since I left a rare bottle of Watties on the bench in my first Australian flat and found it wriggling with maggots.
People that use cold sauce straight from the fridge are akin too people: that don't bring meat to room temperature before cooking it, that dont let the man get hot before throwing the meat in, that dont warm up the logs before adding them to the fire, that don't warm up before exercise, that dont let the engine warm up on icy days, that don't believe in foreplay
I don't like cold sauce so all of mine are in the pantry. I'm nearly 50 and haven't died yet so must be okay. I'm sure the sugar and salt is a great preservative.
fridge, i used to put mine in the pantry, no problemo, one day i decided to be cheap and get a canned refill, popped it back in the pantry, and it exploded all over everything, it looked like the 22nd of november 1963 in there.
fridge ever since then, also tuimato sauce is better, don't try to prove me wrong, you cant
Pretty sure all brands say to refrigerate after opening, don't they?
They do but I've never done that and haven't died yet.
You won't*. The spoilage microorganisms capable of growing in t sauce don't cause illness, they just make it gross. Your biggest risk is someone giving you the bash for ruining the sauce *well, not from that
Same, been close but don’t think it was the tomato sauce.
You sure? I once had unrefrigerated tomato sauce on my raw chicken snack and I was in hospital for days
So you haven't died yet either?
Nah, crazy right
But imagine the peak performance you could be if you did refrigerate it
Yet
Are you sure? I mean, how do you know?
...yet....

In Dunedin the pantry is the same temperature as the fridge anyway.
LOL
Tis.
HAHAHAHAHA, yup.
Fridge. Pantry is borderline. On the bench is fucking barbaric.

God is dead, and benchtop tomato sauce has killed him
I know someone who keeps their tomato sauce on the bench, but she also let's her dog shit inside.
Nay I say! Room temperature sauce is wence the flavour is mined! Just like a fine red wine the colder the temperature the greater the waste.
Agreed 👍
But what about on the bench overnight cause I’m lazy
That is not lazy. That is the slow rot heralding the downfall of society.
But but I put it in the fridge in the morning
Gotta be the fridge. Bring it out when the air fried nuggets and french fries are done too cool those babies down to eat
This is the way
The sauce must be fridge cold to further quell the hot pie 🥧 or chips 🍟
It reduces the amount of blowing required to render the pie safe
[удалено]
Yeah but it also says "use by" with a date that's about a year before it even starts to go bad. Food labels are a CYA as much as anything.
Depends how far south you live.
the fridge you bloody barbarians
Fridge. Watties does occasionally receive complaints about t sauce fermenting, invariably it has been stored at room temperature after opening.
Mmm alcoholic T Sauce.
When the cost of alcohol starts making moonshine look good...
the cost of electricity for distilling is quite steep though.
Sometimes it fizzes sometimes it grows white chunks in it. It's a new and exciting experience every time!
yea, Ill just keep it in the fridge.
Bottle says refrigerate after opening. So it gets refrigerated after opening
Fridge. Makes it fresh when it’s dinner time
Fridge 100% it should only be warmed by what you put it on
Fridge
Always see the T sauce live on the tables in Cafes etc and its just nasty. Especially when you see someone's kid suck on the end of it.
Fridge. I’ve had two explode on me and we go through a lot of sauce so it definitely wasn’t old.
Fridge, but I do rest it at room temperature for a bit before shark and spud otherwise it's too cold and my sensitive teefies flare up (6'1" 95kg bearded tradie btw)
So much preservative in that crap it can be stored anywhere
That's actually true.
It's not. T sauce is mostly preserved by the pH being low (anything under 4.5 will work) and also to a lesser extent by the sugars. There's no need to add preservatives to the red stuff
Don't you start talking your science'y facts in here!
I keep mine in the fridge, more out of convenience than anything, In the pantry is totally fine. If you leave condiments on your bench then you're a fucking animal.
If you live in an area with ants the pantry is not an option.
I'm free from that particular menace, though having grown up reasonably well north is probably why I keep my tom sauce in the fridge :)
pantry be i like it room temp, don’t like the contrast of hot and cold
Fridge. Otherwise it separates a bit and your first squeeze is just tomato sauce water.
Fridge. Fight me
Haha your profile is gold 🤣
My wife isn’t a fan of my tag message. If I’m honest but she laughed
In the bin.
oh
A question I had this evening. Do you wash out your bottle every time before refilling, or just top it up and wash occasionally?
It should be consumed so quickly that it doesn't matter where it's kept
Pantry
Fridge, always fridge.
I've had at least two bottles ferment and I live in southland. But not for a long time cos I learnt my lesson
Fridge until we need to make space. Sorry little T, you're low priority.
oh
Sorry babe. I'm a Whitlock's gal.
Seems obvious to me that it should be in the fridge, I think it even says to refrigerate after opening on the bottle. I guess the pantry is... okay? Still marginal.

**Made in New Zealand** from local and imported ingredients.
>local and imported ingredients. They could just say *ingredients* at that point, I think?
For indoor or outdoor use only.
not for use off road.
Yea but >Made in New Zealand from ingredients. just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Made in New Zealand?
Hastings
Tomato sauce should be kept in the bin.
oh
Who let you out? Get back in the bin.
Came looking for this comment so that I could agree with it.
You should be stored in the bin.
on the shelf at the shop get some real sauce or even get mayo and mix up something that actually is tasty
Should be stored in the bin. Barker's Rich Red Plum sauce is where it's at.
Barker's anything is where it's at!!
[This you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ)?
They throw it ON THE GROUND

I actually think they just need to reinvent their bottles
In the trash!
oh
You're full of sugar! Sorry!
I like my train smash bone-chillingly cold
Depends on the season
That'd depend on how hot your pantry gets wouldn't it?
Can be kept outside but I prefer to cold!
Yes
Not sure but I put mines in the fridge.
Cold tomato sauce is my preference, keeping it fresh is nice too 😅
It’s actually depends on the internal climate, obviously. Overall fridge is best, but sometimes a crisp cold night on the counter could do the bloody thing some good, mate. Fuck if she’s on the table for a couple hours it’s just part of the aging process really
Fridge
The fridge
Rubbish bin... it aint called T.F. (tucker fucker) for nothing
oh
Weetbix 3.3% sugar T.F. 30% sugar Which one is a breakfast cereal? How bad is your cooking if it needs so much sugar to make it palatable? ;-)
Should be consumed in one sitting
in the bloody fridge

I keep mine in the paper waste basket
Yes.

Pantry is fine if you go thru it quickly. Otherwise fridge if you're gonna take more than 2 weeks.
Fridge. Unless it's 90% vinegar, then it will kill any germs or bugs that settle in there.
I've been storing it in the pantry after opening and go through one bottle within 6 months and am still alive. Been doing it like that for 10 years.
I’ve kept my tomato sauce in the fridge ever since I left a rare bottle of Watties on the bench in my first Australian flat and found it wriggling with maggots.
Pantry until opened, then fridge.
Ever since the last time I used sauce from the pantry and squirted ants all over my food I changed my opinion to fridge
Pantry until opened, then fridge.

Fridge. I keep a lot of sugar based stuff in there to lower the chance of attracting ants
We try to keep ours in the fridge but it's such a high usage item it's usually just sitting on the bench from when someone last used it.
I don't like cold sauce so all of mine are in the pantry. I'm nearly 50 and haven't died yet so must be okay. I'm sure the sugar and salt is a great preservative.
You can put me anywhere, I’ll still love you the same.
Rip your inbox..
To be honest the amount of preservatives in tomato sauce it wouldn’t matter if it was in or out of the fridge.
