  1. The best way to store leftovers is not to create them in the first place. Careful planning and small‐batch cooking reduce leftovers.
  2. Don’t mix batches.
  3. Store leftover creamed vegetables for one day only. Then either use or discard. Before storing, cool rapidly by placing the container on ice.
