Cool: Let the food cool to room temperature before refrigerating it to prevent condensation, which can make food soggy. Use airtight containers to keep everything fresh and avoid cross-contamination. Label: Label each container with the date so you can keep track of how long the food has been stored. Meat and Vegetables: Grilled meats and veggies can be stored in the fridge for up to four days Salads and side dishes: These foods are best eaten within two to three days.
For longer storage, consider freezing items like cooked meats and some side dishes, which can last for up to three months.
