How long do you save leftovers?

Anonymous
For us, it's 3-4 days max. I don't like taking chances, and if it's something I know I won't end up eating, I freeze it. What about you?

Until DH eats them.

Yep similar to you OP. I save for 3-4 days. I have a fantastic sense of smell and won't eat anything that smells bad. But things so rarely are bad.

Until they smell bad or someone eats them.

If I cook it, I usually give it five to six days.

3-4 days, until I throw them away since no one eats them.

5 days for us. 10 days for dog. (leftover meat) I figure he licks his butt, how bad can 9 day old steak be?

Until there's something wrong with it. Usually the texture goes before it spoils.

3 days, prepared at home. 2 days for restaurant leftovers.

This is a really silly article since the actual answer is almost entirely dependent on what the dish is, and the possible range is between "a couple hours" and "a couple weeks."

Five days for me, three for my tots.
