10 food storage solutions to store or transport holiday leftovers

10 food storage solutions to store or transport holiday leftovers

Storing holiday foods, whether leftovers from a large meal, side dishes for a potluck, or edible treats you want to give as gifts, requires a little precaution to ensure the items arrive safely or can be easily stored in your refrigerator.

First, think about the item you want to transport. For example, if it’s a hot frying pan, you don’t need to reheat it; transport it in the container you cooked it in. If you’re handing out cookies or cupcakes with frosting, make sure your storage container won’t compromise the design.

Here are 10 food storage solutions that will help you store or transport food this holiday and beyond:
