Up to three days, depending on what it is.

I only leave chicken for 24-48hrs.
I’m always so paranoid when it comes to chicken.
Rice is certainly bad for bacteria and food poisoning.
I now use microwaveable small rice pots.
I just find it easier

We don’t often have leftovers. When we do, theyre usually eaten the next day. For those that aren’t, they’re either frozen or fed to our dogs

I prefer to freeze leftovers directly after cooling down

For leftovers, a general rule is to consume them within 3-4 days (I would go max 2 with chicken, but that’s me) if stored in the refrigerator. It’s essential to cool them quickly and store in airtight containers. Be cautious with rice; it should be stored within an hour and eaten within a day or two due to bacteria concerns. When in doubt, use your senses – if it looks, smells, or tastes off, it’s best to err on the side of caution.

My rule for any leftover food, including meat, vegetables and fully prepared meals is a max of 3 days in the fridge. I have also heard the same thing about rice, so that comes under the 3 day rule category for me, too.
I feel that there are very few foods that are worth getting food poisoning over, so why risk it.

I would say 3 days for chicken.

Most things can last at least a few days

I am really funny with chicken, I think 3 days Max!

Generally for me it’s one week maximum, though occasionally something will hang around for a fortnight. But that’s it: that’s the longest I’ll keep something. (It helps that we do bulk cooking once a week so I know exactly when things were cooked.)

I’d say overnight and no more unless you freeze it fresh

No more than 3 days for me …other wise freeze.

I tend to refrigerate as soon as possible but I also freeze a lot of leftovers for later.

I usually refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of cooking or being removed from heat, and use shallow, airtight containers to store leftovers. As I know, most leftovers can be safely stored for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Then I remove meat from bones before storing leftover roast chicken. I used to cook vegetables can be refrigerated for 3-4 days (rice and stir fry should be consumed or refrigerated within 2 hours of cooking).

Ild say a day. If it just enough to consume for the next day then it’s in the fridge anything more I chuck it it bags, label and freeze .
