How do I store leftovers? I usually use the pot cooked in or dish served in, or combine all the leftovers into the smallest serving dish. Use either the top to the pot, inverted with knob down so that other things may be placed atop it in the fridge. Or, I find a plate that fits the top of the serving dish. that way I don't have to wash that pot or dish yet, and it can be used tomorrow to reheat the food too. Who else does this? It means we don't have to buy any official storage containers. We also reuse packaging, of course, the quintessential quart yogurt container that stacks easily in the drawer. Lately I have been looking at food packaging before purchase, to determine if it can double as food storage. Maybe someone else has already brought this up. I haven't read all of the comments yet, just about 10.
