我们大多数人都很擅长将黄油，牛奶和鸡蛋等必需品放在冰箱中。但是，还有其他一些繁忙的库克冰箱绝对不应该没有的物品。这些成分与一些厨房的主食和一亚搏手机版官方些想象力搭配时，可以在弄清楚今晚晚餐的时候可以为您节省前往市场的旅行。有关菜的例子，您可以与我们的冰箱必需品一起放在一起，请参阅食谱Fettucine with Tomatoes, Capers & Olives.

Lemons

We’ve rescued many a dull dish with a spritz of lemon juice or a pinch of lemon zest. Brightly acidic, lemon enhances other flavors while at the same time adding its own citrusy note. We most often use it to punch up brothy soups, all kinds of sauces, vegetable side dishes, and anything with fruit in it. To finely grate zest without getting any of the bitter white pith, invest in a rasp-style grater—you won’t regret it. Lemons will keep in the refrigerator for about two weeks.

第戎芥末

除了明显用作三明治调味品外，Dijon还是无数酱汁中的秘密成分。它在醋汁中特别重要，因为它是天然乳化剂，这意味着它有助于防止油和醋分离。当罐子几乎是空的时，请不要扔掉。取而代之的是，在罐子中加入一些油和醋，然后摇动芥末醋。Dijon将无限期保留在冰箱中。

鸡肉汤

Homemade or good low-salt canned or boxed chicken broth is one of the most versatile ingredients you can have on hand. We use it to make soup, whip up pan sauces, or make rice pilafs or risotti. Broth that won’t be used before it spoils gets frozen in ice-cube trays so we can thaw it in various amounts. Once opened, a can or box of broth will keep in the fridge for two weeks. (Pour canned broth into another storage container.)

Parmigiano-Reggiano

Worth the cost at almost any price, true Parmigiano-Reggiano is full of intensely savory flavor that’s crucial to so many dishes, from pastas to hearty soups like minestrone. We keep a chunk in the fridge for grating fresh right before we need it (once grated, it starts losing its flavor, so don’t bother buying it already grated). When the cheese is used up, we stash the rind in the freezer for simmering in the next pot of minestrone. A well-wrapped chunk of Parmigiano will maintain its best flavor for about a month.

新鲜的香草

A handful of chopped herbs lends fresh flavor and color to just about anything. You can always find parsley, cilantro, mint, rosemary, and thyme (and a few others) in the test kitchen refrigerators, ready to be chopped and scattered over a chicken sauté as a flavorful garnish or stirred into bean salads, salsas, and pan sauces or gravies, among other things. Store herbs stems down in a few inches of water, loosely tented with a plastic bag. They’ll stay fresh for about two weeks this way.

Olives and capers

橄榄和刺山柑不是同一回事，但是我们将它们分组在一起，因为它们俩都具有鲜艳的咸味，并且经常串联使用。一罐小刺山柑和一些从熟食店橄榄棒上的小卡拉马塔斯总是在冰箱中。它们都是番茄酱，香醋和土豆或面食沙拉的好补充。橄榄将在冰箱里保存大约一个月，刺山柑将保留大约三个月。

Sun-dried tomatoes

甜美而鲜艳的，油包装的晒干西红柿是披萨，意大利面，菜肉馅煎蛋饼，砂锅甚至三明治的绝佳补充。品牌之间的质量各不相同，因此请品尝一些您喜欢的产品，如果油很美味，请尝试将其添加到醋汁中。油包装的晒干西红柿将在冰箱中保存约三个月。

酱油

Savory, salty soy sauce is our secret ingredient in all sorts of marinades, dipping sauces, and dressings. A little sprinkle of soy sauce is also a great flavor booster for plain broiled fish and steamed vegetables. Look for naturally brewed brands of soy sauce, and as the label instructs, refrigerate after opening to keep it tasting its best; it keeps indefinitely.

新鲜的生姜

新鲜的姜给添加的任何东西都借出了一个野蛮的，无误的拉链。冰箱中的新鲜生姜旋钮可以轻松地将快速搅拌以解决紧急晚餐情况，或者在醋中享用醋汁或浸泡调味料。为了剥离新鲜的生姜，请用勺子的侧面刮擦它。包裹完整的生姜旋钮将在冰箱中保存约两个星期。

Bacon and pancetta

Bacon makes everything better. Bacon and its unsmoked cured Italian counterpart, pancetta, contribute a meaty richness—and in the case of bacon, a measure of smokiness—to chowders and bean soups, stuffings, and quiches, among other things. If we won’t be using the whole package within a few days, we freeze it in small batches so it’s easy to thaw only what we need.
