Are you used to using canned food for cooking? You are probably wondering how to store leftovers. Now, the fridge is anything but a good idea! Explanations …

Do not keep an opened can of food in the fridge.

If you have opened a can and there is food left inside, do not put it in the fridge! Indeed, this bad habit can be dangerous for our health. The contact between the metal of the can, the food and the oxygen can promote the appearance of rust and bacteria can contaminate us.

Therefore, it is advisable to transfer the remaining food into a suitable, airtight container, made of plastic or glass, and to throw away the can. The food can then be placed in the fridge. Note that once the can is opened, the food quickly becomes perishable: it is then necessary to consume the food quickly before it is no longer good.
