What About Freezing?
If you don’t think you’ll eat your leftovers within 3–4 days, freezing is a safe option. Most cooked foods can be frozen for 2 to 3 months with minimal loss of quality. Use freezer-safe containers or bags, and label them with the date.
Conclusion
Storing cooked food properly in the refrigerator is essential to prevent foodborne illness. As a general rule, eat leftovers within 3 to 4 days, keep your fridge cold, and watch for signs of spoilage. When in doubt, don’t risk it—your health comes first.
