Of course, you should wash all dishes and cutlery in hot, soapy water, but what do you do with leftover food?

Here's a few tips to help you:   

• Divide large amounts of leftovers into small, shallow containers for quick cooling in the refrigerator.  Don't pack the refrigerator -- cool air must circulate well to keep foods safe. 
• With stuffed poultry or other meat, remove the stuffing and store it in a separate dish. 
• Clean all surfaces well with hot, soapy water or better yet -- a good disinfectant soap.
