Leftover cooked food may be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. During this time, you can reheat the leftovers to 165 °F (73.8 °C) but return any unused portion to the refrigerator within two hours. Because the quality decreases each time food is reheated, it is best to reheat just the amount needed.
