where does a banana get spoiled faster?On a counter or the refrigarator?

Because banana's are so cheap, the rumor was spread about not putting them in the refrigarator in order to increase demand, because they spoil faster if left out. most anything kept in the refrigarator will spoil slower, because the temperature inhibits decomposition.

I am guessing that 2% would spoil the fastest because it has the most milk fat.\n\nI think that it would taken awhile for the soy to spoil because it is a vegetable product.

Cut down on foods like bananas?

all right... so here's the deal.\n\naccording to the local health department (i'm quite sure this is a standard), any food that hits the floor becomes trash.  there is no 5 second rule.\n\nadditionally, bacteria isn't the only thing on the ground.  perhaps there is dirt, and fire doesn't kill dirt.  dirt may be sterile, but it's still gross.\n\nimportantly, let's imagine that there is a chemical on the ground, like a cleanser.  that won't cook off either.  and that is poison.  \n\ncooking food to high enough temperatures will indeed kill bacteria, but here is another myth debunked.\n\nsuppose you leave some food out at room temperature for 12 hours, then you cook it up to boiling.  you kill all the bacteria, right?  right, you will kill all the bacteria.  so the food is safe to eat, right?  wrong.  bacteria produce biproducts which are poisonous, deadly even, and these chemicals are in fact dead already and heat does not necessarily destroy them.\n\nso heat is not a cure all for food, and the 5 second rule is crap.

Usually, when something is cannabilized, parts are taken off of it to fix other products that use the same components.  So, if I had a bad refridgerator with spare parts on to fix another not-so bad fridge, I'd cannibalize parts off of one to fix another.

yes. certain food stay fresh longer when left in room temperature, while some would need to be kept chilled. the packaging also has an effect. some food need to 'breath' in order to stay fresh.

Initial decay is from cell lysis and release of enzymes from lysosomes. The body essentially starts eating itself. This doesn't last long though and then bacterial processes commence. That's why refrigeration slows down decay, the bacteria are 'cold blooded' so to speak.

Bananas are a tropical friut and like warm moist temperatures. The cold air will turn the peels dark but it retards the ripening process.  When a banana ripens at room temp it gets sweeter the more it ripens. So, a banana with brown spots on the skin is perferct for eating! Bananas in the supermarket are usually "gassed" to speed up the ripening process.

The landlord is responsible for the appliances in the apartment.  If you buy the fridge, you can deduct it from your rent.\np.s.  You can also deduct the cost of the food that spoiled..I did it.

I keep a deep freezer in my garage.  It has chicken and lots of meats and stuff.  Every year we have a cow butchered to be made into steaks, ground beef, roast, etc.  Well, It was the middle of the summer and it was hot.  I had been to the grocery store and stopped by the garage to put some chicken in the freezer.   Somehow, the freezer had been unplugged.  So when i opened the freezer, the smell almost knocked me over. It was a bloody slushy raw meat soup.  Since it was airtight, there were no bugs or maggots yet, but I had to work fast.  My husband was away and he had the pickup truck.  I ran in the house and changed my clothes and got gloves and trash bags.  I couldnt put it in MY trash dumpster because they wouldnt pick it up for another 4 days, and by then the smell would kill everyone in the neighborhood.  My mom's (who lived 5 miles away) would be picking up later that day.  So i loaded up all  400 lbs of these HEAVY nasty bags of melted rotten meat into the trunk of my car and made 4 trips to remove all of it.  Luckily it was just smell and no maggots were yet involved.   I cleaned and bleached the freezer.  I still own it and it works great.  I burned the clothes i was wearing.   It was very gross.

refridgerate it or freeze it.

The compressor of your Refrigerator is not designed to keep cool a large space such as your room. So once you keep it open, the compressor will get overloaded and it will be spoiled. Take care.

Refrigerating bananas makes them turn black.  The temperture does not help preserve this fruit instead it over process it.  But overly ripe bananas makes the best flavored banana bread.

Significantly faster than the time it takes to pickle a banana.
