Food safety is a major priority for those of us at Contain This!  That's why we have a Perfect CHILL pack with our Perfect Sandwich container.

But food safety is so much more, especially on Thanksgiving when leftovers is practically a tradition all on its own.  Only if you safely store the leftovers can you enjoy fantastic turkey sandwiches the next day.

Food Network has a great article on its website called "Food Safety: Storing Thanksgiving Leftovers" that lists some great tips about how to safely store leftovers such as you should start putting leftovers away within 2 hours of serving the food.  Who knew that you only had 2 hours to chow down?!

Also they answer the question I have always wondered about: do you have to cool leftovers down to room temperature before you put them in the frig? The answer is no but you may want to chill the item in the frig without a lid on.  Once the item has cooled down, then put a lid on.  That way the item chills quickly.  I'll have to let my mom know that one! 

Stay safe this Thanksgiving and enjoy those turkey sandwiches!
