Pears
Here’s the thing you need to remember about pears, they don’t ripen on the tree. Therefore, if you purchased them at room temperature then they will ripen slowly, this is how you get that perfect pear taste. If you buy pears that are not ripe, do NOT refrigerate them. The cold will only delay the ripening process and keeps the pears from remaining fresh. Once the pears have ripened, you can put them in the fridge to make them last longer.
Pepper
It’s a total myth that if you put peppers in the refrigerator, it preserves them. When placed in the fridge, peppers become more dull, which is why you should store them in a cool and dry place. Same goes for chili peppers.
