– All leftovers should be stored in airtight, transparent containers. You can choose from reputable products on the market such as Tupperware, Lock&Lock, HappyCook, etc. These brands are highly rated by homemakers both domestically and internationally\u2014they are super airtight and extremely durable, keeping your food as fresh as possible.<\/span><\/p>

– Follow the \u201cFirst in \u2013 First out\u201d rule: Always use older food first.<\/span><\/p>

– Cool leftovers within two hours of cooking. You don\u2019t need to wait for the food to cool down before storing it\u2014the modern refrigerator can handle this safely.<\/span><\/p>

– Don\u2019t hesitate to throw away any perishable food left out at room temperature for more than two hours (one hour if the temperature is above 32\u00b0C, such as during a summer picnic).<\/span><\/p>

– Divide leftovers into small, flat containers to cool faster. Some bacteria may survive the cooking process and can grow if food stays at room temperature too long.<\/span><\/p>

– Regularly check that your refrigerator is set to 4\u00b0C or lower. Don\u2019t rely solely on pre-set settings\u2014use a refrigerator thermometer for accuracy.<\/span><\/p>

– For canned foods like canned fish or meat, transfer them to a different container if there are leftovers. After opening the lid, metal residue on the can\u2019s edge can leach into the food and leave a strange taste.<\/span><\/p>

Nutrition experts recommend consuming chilled leftovers within 3-5 days or freezing them for up to 4 months.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
