Where should canned goods be stored?
Where should I store canned foods? Find a cool, dark, dry place for your canned goods. Moisture can corrode the cans, so don’t store them in a moist place, like a damp basement. In glass jars, the moisture can corrode the lids and break seals.

How do you store canned food after opening?
After you’ve opened your canned food, don’t dispose of the liquid or brine. Instead, transfer it to an airtight container with the food itself. This will help in preserving the food for longer as well as maintaining its taste and texture.
Why can’t you store canned food in the can?
According to Buchtmann, you shouldn’t store an opened tin or can in the fridge once opened, as the tin or iron can dissolve into the food, giving it a metallic taste. This tends to occur in the tins of the more acidic tinned foods, such as fruit juices and tomatoes.
