Leftovers save money when they're stored and reheated safely.
The rules
- Refrigerate within two hours of cooking (one hour if it's above 90°F)
- Keep your fridge at 40°F or below
- Eat leftovers within three to four days, or freeze them
- Reheat to 165°F
When in doubt
Throw it out. You can't always see, smell or taste the bacteria that cause food poisoning.
