Cook Your Leftover Food

Agatha Lee is an avid green blogger who shares her green thoughts, recycled crafts and upcycling at Green Issues. She’s also a believer in using leftover food and not wasting food. When she was young, her parents taught her never to waste any food, and that leftover food is still food. It is such a waste to throw away food that tastes yummy and had been prepared by someone with a lot of effort.

If she knows that she is going to use the leftovers within the next three days, she would store it in the fridge. If not, it goes straight into the freezer with labeling. She would try to make sure that the food item is cooled very quickly under a fan and covered with a food cover before it goes into the fridge or freezer, plus she always use a serving spoon or chopsticks when the family eats, so as to minimise contamination.
