How long leftovers can safely stay in your refrigerator depends on the type of food and whether or not your fridge is truly keeping foods cold. It certainly saves you time and money to use leftover vegetables in a pasta or soup the next day, or leftover steak in a green salad. Err on the side of caution and safety, however, when dealing with leftovers in your fridge.
