Unsalted butter lacks the extra protection provided by salt to ward off bacterial growth. For this reason, it&#8217;s best to refrigerate unsalted butter unless you plan to use it within a few hours for a recipe.\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html --><br \/>\n<!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block --><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-10\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block southernliving-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bananas\"><\/span> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Bananas <\/span> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block southernliving-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading --><\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-11\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nIt might seem like a good idea to toss your bananas in the pantry when you get home from the grocery store, but it will only encourage ripening. While protecting bananas from light is an important part of prolonging shelf life, so is keeping them cool. Ideally, bananas should be stored at 56 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit, making your countertop the best place to store them.<\/p>\n<p><!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html --><br \/>\n<!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block --><\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-13\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block southernliving-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-landscape figure-high-res\"><\/figure>\n<p><!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block southernliving-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-landscape figure-high-res --><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-14\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block southernliving-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cleaning_Supplies\"><\/span> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Cleaning Supplies <\/span> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block southernliving-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading --><\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-15\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nWhile it may seem convenient to keep cleaning supplies at-the-ready in your kitchen, it&#8217;s best to keep them in an adjacent room or safer space. Little hands and furry friends can easily get into cabinets, especially those frequently used for cleaning products like under the kitchen sink. Natural cleaners, such as vinegar and baking soda, may be safe, but anything with chemical ingredients should be stored elsewhere.\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html --><br \/>\n<!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block --><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-17\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block southernliving-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scented_Products\"><\/span> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Scented Products <\/span> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><!-- end: comp mntl-sc-block southernliving-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading --><\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-18\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nWherever you store your cleaning supplies is where all scented products \u2014 think scented trash bags and air fresheners \u2014 should be kept, too.
