after how many days is it safe to eat leftovers?

Answer 1

Three weeks (refrigerated) is my personal record, but I would not recommend it.

Answer 2

Safe leftovers have to start with food that is safe. Always follow the four simple steps to food safety:

Clean
Separate
Cook
Chill


Use refrigerated leftovers within three to four days. Freeze quantities that can’t be used by then. Since bacteria can’t grow at freezer temperatures, food is generally safe indefinitely while frozen. However, use frozen foods in a reasonable length of time for best quality.
