Everything You Need to Know Before Refrigerating Leftovers
One of the great benefits of planning preparing cooking and enjoying a home-cooked meal is the leftovers. Knowing how to store cooked food is essential for enjoying leftovers in the weeks and months to come. Additionally properly stored cooked food is an integral part of weekly food prep or stocking up for the future. Regardless of the reason the goal is the same: use the best tools and methods to store food and maintain the freshness and integrity of each item.
There are three main enemies of uneaten cooked food: humidity and bacteria. Refrigerated leftovers will usually last four or five days if properly sealed and stored. Frozen food can last for months at consistently below-freezing temperatures but if not stored properly it can succumb to freezer burn. To combat these enemies of leftovers you need to prevent food waste and limit spoilage making sure you have enough space in your refrigerator and freezer to store everything properly.
