... but here’s how to keep them fresh!

RICE: Let it cool for no longer than an hour and keep in the fridge no more than a day. Only reheat once.

CHICKEN: Cover and leave to cool to room temperature before storing in the fridge for up to three days. Do not reheat more than once and make sure it is 75C throughout after reheating.

RED MEAT: After cooking, it can be left in the fridge for a few days and eaten cold. If reheating, let it warm up to room temperature first.

POTATO: Any type of cooked potato will last up to three days in the fridge.

GREEN VEG: Can be eaten cold or reheated. Simply chill to room temperature after cooking and keep in the fridge for up to three days.

DAIRY: Leave in its container and keep in the fridge. If it’s been served in a glass or bowl, simply wrap the new container and return to the fridge.

CANS: The metal from a tin may leach into food and leave a metallic taste, so transfer to another container, then cover and chill for up to three days.
