I've always kept mine in the cupboard -- the label doesn't say
anything about refrigeration, so I wouldn't worry about it. I
love Worcestershire sauce, even if I can't pronounce it...

Why not? Refrigeration won't hurt worcestershire sauce. 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.

I don't think it really matters, as I know many who keep it on the table or
pantry. However, I have always kept mine in the refrigerator along with
every other bottled condiment like hot sauces, etc. I don't think any of
them require refrigeration.

Me too. 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.

For me, Michael, it's just habit. My family was from the South and for
years didn't have air conditioning. It's probably rooted in that.

It's not required and the space is needed for other things.

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... ;-)

Considering Worcestershire sauce was a 'mistake' in the first place, what
other kind would there be besides "store bought"? There are recipes out
there, but I can't imagine making my own. Too easy to buy Lea & Perrins :)

No, it doesn't have to be refrigerated. But it won't hurt if you do.

The question is _"should"_... not is it _required_.

It is *not imperative* that worcestershire sauce be refrigerated to keep it
from becoming spoiled (although eventually it will spoil - ALL foods will
eventually spoil) but refrigeration will indeed inhibit deterioration of its
quality/flavor over time... same applys to ALL foods.

Um, some few of us just have higher standards.... and as to having space, a
worcestershire sauce bottle requires 2 sq. in. on a door shelf... maybe if you
cleaned your fridge...

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.

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.

My fridge is very clean, thankyouverymuch... but I have a
few more people living in my household than you do, so space
is precious. As it is, I store all of my herbs & spices
there, condiments & "exotic" ingredients that aren't used up
as quickly as worcestershire.

Heck, if I could - I'd store practically everything in my
fridge: all medication (OTC to prescription) batteries,
film, nail polish, pantyhose etc. In fact, why not just
dispense with cabinets and install refrigerators instead!
