Do you put open tins in your fridge?
 
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/...39_233x341.jpg

So i just opened a tin of beans, half puled the top off and poured a bit in a pan and put the rest in the fridge

(i am having chicken burgers, chips, beans and peppers for tea - :nono: do not judge me)

DO you put tins like that in your fridge or would you decant them into a Tupperware like a crazy person?

Smithy 02-12-2015 07:21 PM

I used too until recently when I was got told off for doing and they said something bad could happen but didn't elaborate as to what it was

i think it may relate to when cans had lead in them?

Livia 02-12-2015 07:26 PM

I've got some little plastic lids that fit over the top of the can. Throw nothing away, me.

Cherie 02-12-2015 07:26 PM

No! Empty the contents into a container and cover with foil

Josy 02-12-2015 07:29 PM

No I empty the contents into a plastic storage container with a lid then put that in the fridge.

bots 02-12-2015 07:31 PM

never

smudgie 02-12-2015 07:48 PM

Hell no.

GiRTh 02-12-2015 07:49 PM

One word, Tupperware.

T* 02-12-2015 07:51 PM

That would make your fridge smell and I am judging you

T* 02-12-2015 07:52 PM

Also use ziploc bags you animals

Jordan. 02-12-2015 08:03 PM

Yeah if I plan to use it by the next day

King Gizzard 02-12-2015 08:05 PM

Other people do and then if I see them I throw them out (usually after they've been there a couple of days and obviously no ones going to eat it)

Crimson Dynamo 02-12-2015 08:14 PM

All that extra washing?

The bloody can IS a container

Crimson Dynamo 02-12-2015 08:14 PM

Shaun 02-12-2015 08:15 PM

I do this too. Just the thought of an open can in the fridge makes me uneasy.

Do you put open tins in your fridge?
 
The only tinned thing that I'd open and not use all of in one go Is probably sweet corn and yeah I just put it straight in the fridge

mizzy25 02-12-2015 09:25 PM

Exactly what I do.

Glenn. 02-12-2015 09:41 PM

A lot of smelly fridges in here

joeysteele 02-12-2015 10:40 PM

I never put part tins in the fridge,always empty what's left into a container,

Kizzy 03-12-2015 12:08 AM

I put it in a ceramic bowl and cover with a saucer usually.

Ammi 03-12-2015 03:32 AM

...no, but there are often half tins of stuff in our staffroom fridge...the only thing for me would be a tin of beans and I microwave them anyway so I couldn't do that in the can anyway and would put them in the container that I was going to microwave them in....

Ammi 03-12-2015 03:32 AM

..I don't really use much tinned stuff...

You should never put open tins in the fridge. The metal can transfer/react to the food. :nono:

Q. "When I was a kid, I was told that it was dangerous to leave an open can of food in the fridge for too long. Is this true?"

A. There's a persistent rumor that storing food in open cans puts you at risk of botulism - but this is a myth. C. botulinum is an anaerobic bacterium, meaning that it prefers an oxygen-free environment. Improper canning could allow the bacteria to multiply inside sealed cans but commercial food packers have stringent systems in place to prevent contamination. Assuming that the food was properly canned to begin with, storing an open can in the fridge doesn't put you at increased risk of food poisoning.

Nevertheless, storing food in open cans can give the food a metallic flavor, especially acidic foods like tomato sauce or pineapple chunks. Oxygen may also oxidize the exposed metal of an open can. Finally, it's hard to seal an open can so food may dry out and/or transfer flavors to other foods in the fridge.

No matter what kind of a container its in, however, food in the fridge has a limited shelf life - so try to keep track of what's in there and have a plan for using up leftover ingredients within a few days.

Never put open cans in the fridge, as the metal may transfer to the can's contents – place the contents in a storage container or covered bowl instead.

Just to add to that. It's not bad for health but can ruin the flavour of food.

how would that work but not work when the can is sealed?. Cans do not have a lead mix any more and the insides are coated.

The metal can still react and ruin the food :laugh:

I live on my own. I never use a full can of anything. Mind you, I only keep stuff a day or so once it's open.

The only thing that I wouldn't use all off in one go is sweet corn, if I'm adding it to a dish a whole can is too much

Yes Ben I am looking for a little science and evidence :pipe:

jennyjuniper 05-12-2015 07:20 AM

I always put the contents into a plastic or china bowl and cover with clingfilm..

Daniel-X 05-12-2015 09:44 AM

I put it in a dish and cover it with foil because open tins in the fridge can be harmful
