Most do this wrong. 10 leftovers you’re storing wrong.

1. Cooked Pasta & Rice

❌ Storing in large, deep containers while still hot.
✅ Fix: Cool quickly by spreading in a shallow container. Store in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.

2. Soups & Stews

❌ Putting the entire pot in the fridge while steaming hot.
✅ Fix: Let it cool slightly, then divide into smaller portions to cool faster. Refrigerate within 2 hours.

3. Pizza

❌ Wrapping in foil and stacking while warm.
✅ Fix: Let it cool completely, then wrap in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven for crispiness.

4. Cooked Meat

❌ Leaving it in the original pan or leaving it out for too long.
✅ Fix: Slice or portion, store in shallow airtight containers, and refrigerate within 2 hours.

5. Salads with Dressing

❌ Mixing salad with dressing before storing.
✅ Fix: Keep dressing separate and only add when ready to eat. Prevents soggy leaves.
