jackie Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I just ordered several oils and a couple butters. I want my oils/butters to last as long as possible so I was wondering if it helps to store them in the fridge once they've been opened. I store lard (mine is pure lard) in the fridge but I never stored bacon grease that way and it did fine. I don't normally store cooking oils in the fridge and haven't had any go rancid. So I'm wondering if it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I store mine in the fridge ( I have a soap frdige in my soap kitchen) I do believe it does prolong the life of the oils and butter. If need be just put the ones you use the least in the fridge. You can freeze butters too, I do this when I order large amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 thanks. I was thinking about freezing part of the butters (I do that with lard too). I'm wondering how Palm Kernel Flakes fits into it--any idea how that holds up to freezing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think palm kernal flakes are pretty stable and shouldn't need freezing. I get them in 50 lb boxes and have them stored in my basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I agree with Jan on the PKO flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
