Do you refrigerate hot sauce?

[The Good The Bad The HBK]

I don't

 

[Osculater]

No, not really

 

[GSP_37]

You think hot sauce is too hostile an environment for bad stuff to grow in?

 

[bandicoot]

As long as it doesn't say 'refridgerate after opening' then it's fine to be out of the fridge.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

I refrigerate Frank’s, Huy Fong Sriracha and Valentina but not Cholula. It’s totally arbitrary why I refrigerate three of them but not the other. Doesn’t make sense but there you have it I guess.

 

[Slothbroth]

This stuff is amazing.

 

[Pliny Pete]

I dont refrigerate anything

I wanna know what @senri does with his sauce and marinades

 

[Snubnoze707]

I typically do, but I make my own hot sauce from the peppers that I grow. I'm not checking pH and use white wine vinegar which isn't as acidic as others. Just playing it safe.

If its some store bought hot sauce you're likely fine. It's good to wipe the cap clean after use however.

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

I do for some hot sauce.

 

[nonoob]

Only if the label says to.

 

[crabmeat]

Nope. Most of my condiments are in the pantry, or on the island in the kitchen. I only place tomato based stuff in the 'fridge with mayonnaise.

 

[AFanNotAFighter]

No. I don't refrigerate ketchup either.

 

[HereticBD]

Don't know how necessary it is, but I do it out of habit. Once a condiment is opened, it goes in the fridge.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

No. I put it on food.

@lsa @helax @Arqueto

 

[BreatheSherBro]

Yes. Out of habit. It's probably safe not too though. My local taco/burrito place has opened hot sauce bottles on every table.

 

[TheChance]

I only pu tthe blue top garlic hatch sauce in the fridge because it's cream based

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

I never do and I have a LOT.

I have a whole cabinet I use for hot sauces.

 

[fingercuffs]

The stuff I buy, no. When I make it I do though,
