- Soy Sauce
Soy sauce is another condiment that doesn’t necessarily need to take up refrigerator space.
best rule is:
Follow the storage instructions on your particular jar.
If the manufacturer says refrigerate it, do that.
Because of its salt content and production process, commercially bottled soy sauce is generally shelf-stable.
An unopened bottle can typically be kept in a cool, dry pantry.
What about after opening?
This is where things get a little more nuanced.
Some soy sauce manufacturers recommend refrigeration after opening, while others indicate that room-temperature storage is acceptable.
Refrigeration can help preserve quality for longer, particularly if you use soy sauce slowly.
So check the bottle’s storage instructions.
If the label says “refrigerate after opening,” follow it.
What About Garlic?
Whole garlic bulbs generally don’t need refrigeration.
Like onions, garlic prefers a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment.
