storage

There is no “right” time to eat a pear. Some people like theirs as crunchy as an apple, and choose to eat them when they are firm. Others like them soft as butter, with fully yellow skins.
Store pears at room temperature, and depending on the variety, they will ripen in a few days.
If you want to speed things up, place the pears in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple — these other fruits give off ethylene gas, which the pears will soak up and then start to produce themselves, speeding up the ripening process.
Ripe pears do not last very long on the counter or pantry and will keep much longer if stored in the refrigerator.
