Condiments

It is best to store condiments [6] like ketchup or mustard at room temperature because their high sugar, salt, and vinegar contents keep them preserved. Therefore, storing them in the fridge will only dry the contents and damage them. The same goes for a lot of other condiments, including many salad dressings, hot sauces, jams, and fermented ingredients like soy or fish sauce.
Stone Fruits
Apricots, nectarines, and other fruits with pits in the middle should all be kept at room temperature because the refrigerator will cause them to lose moisture. Just make sure to keep them away from direct sunlight in a cool location. Put them in a container that is well sealed and kept in the refrigerator if you wish to store them after you’ve already cut into them.
