Plain Yellow Mustard - refrigerate after opening?

[Acanthus]

The correct response is to throw away before opening.

This.

Mustard is terrible. I can't even kiss my girlfriend after she has eaten a hot dog without brushing her teeth.

It makes me nauseated.

Did you look at my post carefully? 😉 :ninja:

Also...these weiners are pretty tasty. I can even gobble them down just nestled into some buns, no mustard at all.

My wife is a believer in lips, a-holes, and sawdust hot dogs, I can't eat those without tons of catsup, mustard, and sweet relish.

There's a real debate: sweet or dill?

Yea, I did, and a case of the stupids kept me from understanding what I was seeing for a couple minutes. I'd quote your post, see a link, and then back out and the link would disappear. I did that a couple times before I figured it out :^D

Sweet pickles suck on everything. Grinding them up doesn't make them better. Here's my variations for hotdog toppings...

Plain, nothing on them
Kraut
Jalapeño and onion
rarely a spiced mustard

'murica, just because you put beer labels on water and mustard labels on cornsyrup doesn't make it so

Distilled Vinegar, Water, Mustard Seed, Salt, Turmeric, Paprika, Spice, Natural Flavors and Garlic Powder. That's it. No calories and tastes great. Had some with my split pea soup last night. That is a heavenly combination.

It's more vinegar than anything else. Never refrigerate it.

I voted No, mainly because if I open a bottle of mustard, I consume it all in one sitting. It's expected with beer, why not mustard?

Fiancee comes from Spain where they don't refrigerate many food items we do here. So she can't stand cold mustard, ketchup, and even most drinks like water and sodas.

dump her now!

 

[clamum]

Yep I refrigerate that shizzle.

The worst I've seen is maple syrup.

Why in the name of God would you refrigerate syrup?

Mold will eventually grow in maple syrup.

Ketchup will eventually spoil.

I don't think I've ever seen or heard of mustard spoiling though. Although I still refrigerate it.

 

[PsiStar]

you don't need to refrigerate mustard or Ketchup.

I do know one idiot that refrigerates peanut butter.

This ... the vinegar keeps it from spoiling

 

[ElFenix]

mustard is damn near all vinegar and needs no refrigeration. neither does ketchup (cold ketchup is terrible anyway). i also leave opened hamburger dills in the pantry, those don't spoil either.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Yellow mustard is for cooking with. Whole grain mustard is the condiment of kings. Neither require refrigeration but, I do because, most health inspectors don't know anything about food.

Ketchup can spoil. People at diners that push re-filling to many times probably have witnessed the exploding ketchup bottle.

Q: Do I need to refrigerate Ketchup? A: Because of its natural acidity, Heinz® Ketchup is shelf-stable. However, its stability after opening can be affected by storage conditions. We recommend that this product, like any processed food, be refrigerated after opening. Refrigeration will maintain the best product quality after opening.

Q: Do French's® Mustards need to be refrigerated?
A: Dijon & horseradish mustard will lose their distinct flavors if not refrigerated, so we encourage refrigerating both. For all other mustards, refrigeration will help maintain flavor; however, it is not necessary to refrigerate if you prefer to consume your mustard at room temperature. There are no ingredients in mustard that spoil. "Refrigerate After Opening" is not required for food safety--we only recommended you do so to maintain optimal product flavor.

I put yellow mustard in the fridge, but its also usually because i use it on sandwiches and things, which have cold meat on them etc. Thats about all I normally use it for.

I think the only time I have seen people place it in the fridge is if it's 100% natural as the artificial stuff is fine outside of the fridge.

The pure stuff gets sugar crystals then in the fridge and you can fix that easily but I don't like pure syrup that much.

 

[Matthiasa]

The only mustard I currently have is Bavarian mustard... yellow mustard is bad. 😛
