I am distressed to find out that my all my 2 cucumbers are pretty rotten in my fridge! I don't quite remember when i bought it.

Anyway, I won't let it happen again.

Nothing worse than a rotten cucumber

I know. I feel sorry for them. They were fresh and nice. But I totally forgot them. I thought they should survive in a cold fridge.

Today i have bought 2 cucumbers at Tesco Lotus because tomorrow i am planning to make a Greek Tsaziki. But i would never store them in a fridge, always at room temperature.

Just look how a supermarket stores them. Do the same and nothing won't be wrong.

The mold on them has lots of nutrients and vitamins (if you survive) LOL

Cucumbers are sweating in a fridge - and then they are going to be rotten quite early.

I don't know what you are doing with them but a good housewife should know it

According to Life Hacker, you should store cucumbers at room temperature to make them last longer.

Since 50 Shades of Grey topped the best sellers list, sales of cucumbers have grown 143% in the UK

Cucumbers need a nice warm home.

Sorry...

The cucumber you have requested does not exist or is no longer available.

Thank you for tips ja. I will try to remember keeping them in a room temperature.

I dont learn anything

You are welcome and by the way, same same applies for tomatoes!

One of the most common food storage mistakes, made by a large number of people, is keeping tomatoes in the refrigerator.

It is wrong to assume that storing tomatoes in refrigerator keeps them fresher for longer; in actual fact, the opposite is true.

Refrigeration makes them mealy after only a couple of days and gets rid of their flavor.

Try this (improved recipe for Thailand):

2 cucumbers

2 Dutchie plain yoghurt

1 sour cream

garlic as much as you like

salt

white pepper

1 tablespoon vinegar

Cut the cucumbers in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Then cut the cucumbers in small cubes and let them drain for 2 hours (There will be a lot of water coming out).

Mix all ingredients together and let it blend in the fridge for a couple hours.

Goes very well with kind of grilled style pork, dog, cat or crocodile.

They must have been ordered to remove it by the Cucumber Commission :twisted:
