How to store soy sauce

Today, soy sauce can be found in the kitchen of any hostess: it goes well with almost any dish. And the main problem remains the question: how to store soy sauce so that it does not deteriorate ahead of time and does not lose its taste?

Instruction manual

1

Make it a rule to never leave a bottle of soy sauce open. Vacuum is the most reliable protector of the palatability of many products, and soy sauce is no exception. Therefore, avoid leaving a bottle of soy sauce without a lid - even while you are using it when cooking or eating. By covering the sauce with a lid, without screwing it to the end, you already protect the product from weathering and premature spoilage. Alternatively, during dinner, you can pour a little sauce in a special bowl, and close the bottle and remove it.

2

Keep in mind that the sun's rays contribute to premature spoilage of food, like air. Therefore, do not store the bottle of soy sauce on the windowsill, even if the window is covered with blackout curtains or blinds. For the same reason, do not leave soy sauce on the table, as it can deteriorate due to the warm air in the kitchen that appears from the gas stove during cooking.

3

One of the most suitable options for storing soy sauce without spoilage and loss of taste will be a cabinet that does not penetrate the sun's rays, as well as warm air and damp. A dark, cool place is what you need to keep the product in good quality for a long time.

4

A great alternative to the kitchen cabinet is the fridge. The temperature in the refrigerator, as you know, is much lower, so it is best suited for storing soy sauce: the product will live much longer and will not change its taste even after a long time.

note

Even if you store soy sauce in a tightly closed cabinet where heat and light do not penetrate, or, even better, in the refrigerator, make sure that the bottle with sauce is always well closed. Otherwise, the taste and quality of the sauce may deteriorate due to the smell of other products stored with the sauce in a cupboard or refrigerator.

Useful advice

Soya sauce is best stored in a glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid or cork, so choose soya sauce in this package from the beginning. Thus, you will avoid many inconveniences during storage of the sauce and ensure its long service life.
