The Use By Date Is Only A Guideline, Proper Storage Is Also Important
Did you know an opened package of lunchmeat is only good for 4 days?
Most people rely on the "Use By" date on the package to determine if food is still safe to eat. You may be throwing out good food if this is the only criteria you use to judge what's in your refrigerator. You may also be saving dangerously spoiled food -- such as that 2 week old opened lunchmeat package already mentioned!
Universal covers that snap over standard serving bowls will help keep leftovers safely sealed in your refrigerator. Not only will this help in containing food odors, but it will also help extend the life of your leftovers.
