Is it best to store invert syrup at room temperature or in the refrigerator?

One could store the syrup at room temperature if the risk of bacterial contamination were mitigated by home canning, for example. Once the jar were opened, transfer to a refrigerator would be appropriate as a precautionary measure, although bacterial contamination of sugar-dense syrup stored in pour-only containers is improbable. A good rule of thumb is to treat invert syrup like honey. Eventually invert syrup will re-crystallize to a solid state, and refrigeration will accelerate recrystallization. However, one can always return the syrup to its liquid state by gentle re-heating.

Can you catch a cold by working inside a freezer on a job?

If our immune system were that weak as to be affected by a few hours in cold temperature we would really be in trouble. viruses cause colds, usually the rhinovirus. The only way that freezer would give you a cold is if you were working with someone who had a cold in the freezer either at the same time or a day or two before. Wash your hands frequently and don't touch your nose, mouth or eyes.

See the related questions about common colds not being caused by being cold.

How long can you keep chorizo and eggs that are cook in the refrigerator?

The short answer is 3-7 days but that depends on your standards of personal and kitchen hygiene!

Chorizo is cured for weeks or months in air, and doesn't need to be cooked or refrigerated. An unopened chorizo sausage can be hung almost indefinitely at room temperature, even in hot Spain. Mould may begin to grow on the outside of the skin, but this can be peeled off.

Once peeled or cooked, treat in the same way as raw or cooked ham, as bacteria will be picked up from your skin, hair, utensils and surfaces during preparation.

I always chop off the end cm or so, then chop off as much as I need for a meal, then leave the rest of the sausage in the fridge.

Eggs (boiled, I assume?) will spoil (look and taste inedible) long before they become harmful. You'll see a dark circle forming around the yolk which tastes pretty horrible. Again, if you've peeled the eggs after boiling you'll be transferring millions of bacteria from your fingernails so bear this in mind and never peel boiled eggs until you are ready to eat them.
