K-State food scientist shares tips for safe leftovers
12/02/24 The Times
When holiday foods are concerned, many people look forward to follow-up meals, says Kansas State University food scientist Karen Blakeslee. “Leftovers are a great option for a quick lunch or dinner,” said Blakeslee, who also is coordinator of the university’s Rapid Response Center for Food Science, “but how those leftovers are managed can make a difference in the safety of the food.” Blakeslee said hot leftovers need to be divided into small containers to allow faster cooling. She suggests containers that are about two inches in depth. Plan and use containers that can be stored in the freezer. Chill the food in the refrigerator, then freeze it for later use.
