* Puff pastry that needs to be chilled for five minutes so that the butter doesn't melt into the flour before you do the next roll.

* Jello that needs to be set

* Sprouted beans / seeds for which you want to restrict the rate of growth

"Any contained item that can fit inside a refrigerator, whose quality would be better if kept at 1-4°C rather than at room temperature by the time it's used/consume."

I've definitely just placed a stalk of broccoli on the bottom shelf of my fridge with no container.

[PhasmaFelis]

I would argue that the broccoli contains itself, or perhaps that the skin/surface of the broccoli is the container. (Though some people would argue that all vegetables in the fridge should at least be bagged, to prevent transfer of germs/grime.)

Does a bowl of hard-boiled eggs count as "contained"? It's not sealed.

[miguelrochefort]

Are they shelled?

[eropple]

Is the shell part of the food, or not? =)
