Lesson Overview

26.5 – Storing Leftovers in Airtight Containers: Storing leftovers in airtight containers preserves freshness, prevents waste, and protects against contamination. Allow food to cool slightly before sealing to avoid moisture buildup inside containers. Choose BPA-free plastic or glass containers with tight-fitting lids. Label each container with the date so older meals are eaten first. Store perishable foods in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking to avoid bacterial growth. Keep meats and dairy on colder shelves while placing dry items higher up. Avoid overfilling containers, as air circulation helps cooling. Regularly clean storage areas to prevent odors and spills. Organized storage ensures that meals remain safe and tasty for reuse. This simple practice combines efficiency, health awareness, and responsibility, turning leftovers into convenience rather than clutter.
