Storing food and leftovers

Cool and store

Divide large amounts into small containers for cooling. Do not leave cooked dishes at room temperature for over 2 hours. Check that the coldest fridge zone is between 0 and 4 °C.

Keep components separate

Store ramen broth separately from noodles, and bruschetta bread separately from topping. Label contents and preparation dates. Follow product guidance rather than assuming prepared food keeps for a week.

Raw eggs

This mousse is not cooked. Keep chilled and eat within 24 hours. Anses advises older people, immunocompromised people, young children and pregnant women to avoid raw or undercooked eggs.

Reheat with care

Stir ratatouille and curry gently, then heat the portion to eat thoroughly. Add water only if sticking. Keep pasta sauce separate where possible; immersed noodles continue absorbing liquid.

Times are approximate and depend on equipment, ingredient size and products. Check labels on packaged ingredients too.
