Also easier/more convenient to locate.
Comment on "Refrigerate after opening and store in the refrigerator door." Why the door for this mayo?
TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoThis is it. The door is warmer than the back and the mayo will separate if frozen

And depending on your refrigerator's settings and insulation, the door compartments may be cold enough for more stable things but not for things like milk. Too me a bit to figure out having the milk in the door was both convenient and cutting its lifetime down a lot. Only takes a few degrees, plus the large door shelf is usually higher up, where the warmer air is.

That’s annoying - it’s the only place my milk fits. And my shelves aren’t adjustable enough to change that unless I remove a shelf

You can lay it on its side

No you can’t.

This also helps prevent the cork from drying out

I’ve had enough milk leaks to know not to do that. The stink is unreal.
AA5B@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No, really not. While I haven’t had catastrophic leaks and it doesn’t leak every time, I’ve spent way more time than I like cleaning out the fridge from milk left on its side

Some may find it fun to nerd out, get a Bluetooth temp sensor, track a handful of places in fridge & freezer to figure it out 🙂
Also good for ongoing alerts of temp escalations (beyond the usual, since refrigerators make themselves really cold until they warm up a bit and make themselves cold again).
