• Hot sauce: it will be just fine in the pantry for up to 3 years.
• Potatoes: store in the pantry in paper bags to maintain their flavors (plastic bags hold moisture and speed deterioration). They should last up to 3 weeks, depending on variety.
• Bread: keep what you will consume within 4 days at room temperature and freeze the rest. Refrigerator dries bread out fast.
• Onions: keep them in the pantry, inside their original mesh bag (allowing air circulation), and away from potatoes, which emit moisture and gases that can cause onions to rot.
• Garlic: store loose in the pantry for up to 2 months, so air can move around it.
• Tomatoes: leave them on a counter, out of plastic bags. Once ripe, they will last for about 3 days.
• Coffee: store in an airtight container in the pantry. The refrigerator creates condensation, which can change the flavor of both beans and ground coffee.
• Winter squashes: they will be fine in the pantry for about a month (varieties such as acorn, butternut, delicata and spaghetti).
