Can you freeze or refrigerate sugar and butter?

Sugar and butter can both be frozen or refrigerated, although they don't always require refrigeration.

Sugar: Sugar can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. However, if you live in a humid climate or if you want to extend the shelf life of sugar, you can store it in the freezer or refrigerator. To freeze sugar, place it in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 years. To refrigerate sugar, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 6 months.

Butter: Butter can also be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place, but it will stay fresh longer if refrigerated. To refrigerate butter, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 months. You can also freeze butter for up to 6 months. To freeze butter, wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to use butter, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours.
