To eat leftovers safely, proper storage and handling is needed to preserve them longer. Try these tips to preserve your leftovers longer.

• Foods that need to be eaten later need to be refrigerated within 2 hours of cooking. The more time the food remains outside, more will the bacteria act on it and multiply. If you are preparing foods that you know are going to be eaten for many days, take the portion you want to eat later in a different container and then refrigerate it right away.
• Keep the refrigerator at a temperature between 4⁰ C to 0⁰ C or 38⁰ F to 40⁰ F when you storing the leftovers. When you are freezing the food, the temperature must be at 0⁰ F or -18⁰ C. Remember, cooling does not kill the bacteria in the food, it only makes it dormant.
