    A week or two for leftovers? How are you not dead of salmonella. Eggs are good for maybe 2 days in a fridge.

      I mean, there shouldn’t be any salmonella on fried eggs in the first place. And once dead it won’t come back just from being stored in the fridge.

        Right, salmonella isn’t the thing to worry about cooked food. But other things are if you keep leftovers for a week or two.

          Sure. In my experience a week is absolutely no problem and usually cooked food goes bad in a detectable way (mold or tasting off). Personally I never had a problem but I guess it also depends on the fridge temperature and whether it really was cooked/fried all the way through.

            also how you cool the food, if you put the food in a well sealed cleaned container while over 75°C and keep covered while cooling and only open once you will consume the food will stay good for a lot longer than if you put it in a container when it’s already room temperature.

              I’ve actually wondered about this. If you take a sealed container, freeze and thaw it again, shouldn’t it be sterile? So basically good for as long as the seal remains tight?

              With some exceptions of course, the seal might not be tight at low temperatures, some bacteria can survive frost etc.

      Fried eggs last 2 weeks in the fridge easy. Maybe turn your fridge temp down? Or just try it; you might be surprised how long you survive.

      Because people are overly afraid of food spoiling. You’ll also be surprised that milk can usually stay good for a couple weeks after the best by date and that fresh eggs last for months in the fridge.

      Now, the longer things sit in the fridge the worse the texture usually gets. Rice may be fine to eat 2 weeks later but I’d rather just toss it. It’s going to be hard from drying out in the fridge and trying to fix that means you get either mushy rice or rice that just breaks apart.

        I’m a poor person, I know a lot about how food lasts beyond expiry dates.

        There’s being overly afraid of going past best-by date, and there’s being stupid by eating 2 weeks old leftovers from the fridge.

        After 5 days I wouldn’t eat anything opened or already cooked from the fridge that isn’t naturally preserved (like cheese or sour cream). Things go bad in the fridge too.

        I’ve not tried 2 weeks old rice, and I don’t want to. You want to keep something edible more than a few days, that’s what the freezer is for.
