Rules for Leftovers

2 Hours x 2 Inches x 4 Days

2 Hours from oven to refrigerator. Refrigerate or freeze leftovers within
2 hours of cooking the food. Otherwise throw it away.

2 Inches thick to cool it quick. Store food at a shallow depth - about 2
inches - to speed chilling.

4 Days in the refrigerator - otherwise freeze it. Use leftovers from the
refrigerator within 4 days, except stuffing and gravy, which should be
used within 2 days.
