I keep my Lea & Perrins in the fridge. I don't use it often and so a small bottle can last me a very long time, years. Worcestershire sauce won't readily spoil at room temperature but like so many condiments refrigeration retards quality/flavor loss. I think each person needs to decide whether to refrigerate any condiment based on their own usage. Anyway, worcestershire sauce takes very little room in the fridge, and since it is relatively expensive why not derive the best it has to offer. I refrigerate most all condiments, soy sauce, sesame oil, mustard, hot pepper sauce, even ketchup. I usually write the date I open a condiment on the bottle... just to give some idea how long a bottle lasts me my 10 ounce bottle of Lea & Perrins is marked 12/04/01... still has about 1/4 left, guess I'm good for at least another year. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

I always keep my L*P in the fridge too. Dunno why, probably 'cause that's where it always was when I was growing up. <shrug> -- Steve Everyone has a photographic memory.

Thanks Barbara, I'll try to remember that. I tend to force it out as "wer-chester-shire", which is not only wrong, but difficult to say. Usually fall back on simply "Lea & Perrins"; easier on the vocal chords... ;-) -- J.J. in WA ~ mom, vid gamer, novice cook ~ "I rule you!" - Travis of the Cosmos, ATHF (COLD to HOT for e-mail) |

Not true. Honey can become spoiled. Honey can last hundreds, even thousands of years but eventually it will spoil... bear in mind that the honey discoverd from eons ago just happened to survive, naturally , far, far more spoiled than survived, just that there's not much to say about something that didn't survive... I mean like what's to say about an empty crock. It's important to protect honey's low moisture levels to keep it from spoiling. Since it's so dry, honey acts as a moisture magnet. It will absorb humidity from the air, and can become moist enough to ferment in humid conditions. For this reason it's important to keep your honey in tightly sealed containers. The packaging used for honey these days (glass jars with metal lids and plastic jars) ensures that honey will not survive very long. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."
