Storage and reheating
Cool leftovers quickly and refrigerate within 2 hours. Use within 48 hours or freeze. Reheat cooked meat, beans and sauces until steaming hot throughout, and only reheat once. For babies, remove portions before adding salty cheese, chilli paste, chilli sauce, ketchup, salsa or adult sauces. Squash beans and peas, break mince up finely, and keep potato and tortilla textures soft.
Safety and substitutions
Reheat leftovers only once until steaming hot throughout. Keep babies portion soft and separate from cheese, chilli sauce, crisp tortilla, salsa and added salt.
