      What kind of monster stores bananas in the fridge?

        Bananas in the US get washed and lose their protective coating so it’s fairly normal to see them in the fridge in US homes.

            Way to humble brag about your imported European bananas that don’t require refrigeration.

            (It was a joke btw lol)

        Yeah, and I feel like someone’s gonna slam that door one day and get egg all over their bananas.

          If “get egg all over their bananas” wasn’t an euphemism before, I’m starting it now.

        Once they’ve reached your desired ripeness you can slow down them getting overripe in the fridge.

        I’m pretty sure that’s a stock image so I don’t think that’s a pic of anyone’s legit fridge.

        But to answer your question, you can keep bananas on the counter until they reach your preferred level of ripeness and then put them in the fridge to slow down the ripening process so you have a few more days to eat them before they turn to complete mush. I do it all time to ensure I always have bananas around at my preferred level of ripeness.

          They brown more in the fridge. If anything cold speeds up the banana going gross.

          Avocados work the way you say. I wouldn’t do it to a banana

            Yes the outside goes brown, but the inside slows down it’s ripening process. Eventually they will all go to mush, but you can keep them at peak ripeness for a few days longer by putting them in the fridge.

            Then again most people won’t eat a banana if it has a single brown spot on it, so I’m probably wasting my breath by telling people they can prevent food waste by eating discolored but perfectly ripe food.

      As an American I don’t condone this practice of microwaving the water, except in extreme circumstances.

      Edit: as a typical American, I’ve realized that I implicitly assumed OP is American, d’oh.

      Oh. I thought you were deodorizing the microwave

      Microwaved water for tea.

      This sounds so painfully long

          It kind of depends on the “quality” of the electricity that runs your domestic property. In the UK there is some serious juice coming through the socket and the kettles there go hard and fast.

            Yeah, I shell out for the premium electricity, the 99% electrons. The 95% stuff is fine but I have a lot of expensive devices; I want them to run as fast as possible.

              Damn. I didn’t know they still manufactured the 95% electrons stuff. Probably left over stock that they sell at discounted prices.

      This gives me the same vibe as Andrew Tate boasting about not recycling the pizza box. Not scared, sad
