9. Tomatoes

While most produce does better in the refrigerator, tomatoes do better on the counter. When whole tomatoes are chilled, their flavor is stripped and the texture becomes mealy. Under-ripe tomatoes should be placed on a sunny windowsill. It is best to cook them before storing them in the fridge if they become overripe.

10. Hot Sauce

The spicy heat of the peppers is lost when the hot sauce is stored in the refrigerator. To preserve hot sauce, there is no need to chill it. Vinegar prevents bacteria from growing in there.
