How do I keep my pears just right?

V4NT0M · 19 Jan 2009 at 08:22

OK, so I'm quite a fan of pears, but it seems like when I eat them they're nearly always too hard or too soft. So I buy a bunch of 5 or so pears, only one of them is ever just ripe enough when I eat it.
What ever shall I do?

Try keeping them in the fridge...

As someone said i typically keep a few in the fridge then gradually remove them to let them ripen. That gives more chance of getting the 'perfect' one as their ripening process will be offset.

I also do this with bananas but make sure you wrap them in foil first or else they go wierd

The best way is when their just right nice and soft and jucey eat the ******* lot at once, thats what i do.

No, more like remove a couple of the pears from the fridge every couple of days

This forum is getting more and more stupid by the day :confused:

Whatever happened to the good old days of it being a hardware/overclocking forum???

Pears my arse!!! Just eat them and be done with it.

People have spent too much time on the forum and forgotten how to live their lives.

I keep opening this thread expecting to see the pear with the mouth captioned "lul wut?" and due to a lack of this I feel let down and disappointed

Hi there,

You should top yourself - I mean it's Blue Monday and your pear world is collapsing around you .

Only on the internet would suicide be the first suggestion for keeping pears ripe.

Pffff, slowly up the clock speed my arse, just ram it to 9GHz with no sink.

Take them out of any plastic wrapping, and place them in the fridge. Job done.
