The question
How long can leftovers stay in the fridge?
For cooked leftovers, including the chicken and broccoli meal we discussed, the general rule is to use them within 3 to 4 days [1, 2, 3].
To ensure they stay safe and high-quality:
- Refrigerate promptly: It is important to get your leftovers into the refrigerator within two hours of cooking [2].
- Temperature: Ensure your refrigerator is set to 40°F (4°C) or lower [1, 3].
- Storage: Storing food in shallow, airtight containers allows it to cool down more quickly in the fridge, which is better for both safety and maintaining flavor.
If you find you have more than you can eat within those four days, you can also freeze your leftovers for longer storage.
