How can I tell how old my leftovers are?

Date It

How old is that container of leftovers in the back of the refrigerator?
You'll always know if you write the contents and date on a piece of masking tape and stick it to the top.
Use indelible markers -- the humidity of the refrigerator smears everything else.

Good reminder. We have all had the experience of trying to determine exactly what is in a container discovered in the depths of the refrigerator. I also keep the most perishable leftovers on one shelf rather than mixing them in with other items.

We keep a permanent marker in kitchen drawer, so it is always handy for labeling.
