These practices help keep bacteria out, retain moisture, and prevent leftovers from picking up odors from other food in the refrigerator. Immediately refrigerate or freeze the wrapped leftovers for rapid cooling. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or frozen for 3 to 4 months.
