Q. Is it possible to store hot food in an airtight container?

Answer

It's best to avoid putting deep containers with hot food in the airtight container, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Since they require more time to cool, store them in shallow containers. These extremely shallow containers may then be stored in the fridge, where they will chill much more quickly. In order to swiftly chill and properly store hot leftovers, use shallow, airtight containers like these glass ones. Ready-to-eat vegetables stored in the refrigerator for three to seven days in an airtight container. Tinned, cooked vegetables, such as beans and other legumes, have a shelf life of 7-10 days.
