I have two very ripe avocados- will be using tonight- can I put them in the fridge?!


Question: I have two very ripe avocados- will be using tonight- can I put them in the fridge!?
I was thinking that if I put them in in fridge- it will slow down their ripening process!.!.!. We are planning on using them tonight at 10ish, which is about 8 hours from now!. They are seriously very ripe- perfect, but I don't want them to get any more ripe!.!.!. I've also read that the fridge makes them turn even more black!?

Answers:
Don't refrigerate them!. The texture will be better of they are left out!. 8 more hours won't ruin them!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Once the avocado is fully ripe and you don't want it to go bad, I always put them in the fridge to slow down the ripening process, if I am not going to be using them soon, i!.e!., within the next few hours!. Plus, I like them a little cold!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't suggest putting it in the refrigerator, it'll slow down the ripening process, just let it sit out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you're using them tonight, I would think putting them in the fridge would stop the ripening process!.!.!.just let them sit out a little while to soften up again before you use them!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would, but I only make mushed up things like guacamole with avocados!.

It might damage them if you want them for something a bit more fancy!.
