  If you freeze it and eat it later that’s called meal prep.

    If you freeze it and forget about it and instead buy another freezer to store more frozen food, that’s called hording.

  Tupperware?!? In this household we wash the plastic takeout containers and reuse them for years until the become brittle and shatter.

    If you are still doing that, don’t do it. Those takeout containers leak microplastics like crazy

      Don’t tupperware leak as well?

      I mean, unless you use some sort of glass container or metallic, you’re eating microplastics.

    What do you call Tupperware? I thought any plastic container for food is that. Not necessarily newly bought.

    • JoMiran@lemmy.ml ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Tupperware is a brand. Calling all containers Tupperware is like calling all tissue paper Kleenex or all cotton swabs Q-Tips. Sure, many people do that, but it’s not correct.

      Also, Tupperware is expensive.

      In the Midwest, the fancy Tupperware is cool whip containers

      Plastic food containers that are intended to be reused are tupperware; containers that are intended to be disposable are not

    So, is this JoMiran or the micropladtics speaking?

    We use butter and cool whip bowls.

    Where i from, some of us call it tupperware too, every plastic container is tupperware.

  I’m too cheap to throw it out. So my role in the house is to eat all the leftovers before they go bad

  • ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    A few years ago I had a roommate who just did not give a fuck about food never found enjoyment in it. All the leftovers went to him he’d vacuum up anything completely neutrally. I miss him

      It’s me, I’m that roommate.

      Well to be honest, I do enjoy and appreciate tasty food. But I don’t mind eating plain bland food (as long as it isn’t disgusting). I don’t really have a high bar. If it’s edible, in it goes

    Same. My folks never eat leftovers. I patrol the fridge each day and assemble a cast of weird and wonderful characters to have for lunch that day.

    My friends call me “the city council”. Whenever we go eat at restaurants, my job is to clean out everyone’s leftovers. I love it

    The joys of having children eventually. Leftovers are just meal prep for lunch the next day!

    Establishing a leftovers night is the way to go though.

  Sometimes I have even thrown it out with the tupperware because it’s gotten so bad that opening that container would probably poison everything in a 100m radius.

  • MycelialMass@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You can freeze the bad ones (mark it as bad in case you forget about it) then dump it as one big block and take the trash out before it thaws.

    If you wait long enough, it will throw itself away.

    in my experience its best to ooen those into the compost directly

  I call the bottom shelf of my grandmothers fridge the petri dish for this exact reason.

  Constantly puts shit in tupperware, puts it down there, and forgets about it until i find it, and by then its become its own microscopic ecosystem.

  Am I the only one who thinks leftovers make the best breakfasts?

  source
• Norgur@kbin.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  This happens every time because there is something else in the fridge that needs to be cooked so it won't spoil. Then you eat the new dish instead of the old one since you just made it and the old one goes bad....

  • 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yeah, it’s pretty much like that.

    Still, most leftovers are eaten… at least in our household.

• v4ld1z@lemmy.zip ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  But then you keep cooking new stuff because you don’t want to touch the x-day-old food that you’re not interested anymore and want something freshly cooked to eat. You’ll get around to it evenshoely, for shooor

  My mother once bypasses the refrigerator part and accidentally put leftovers in the cupboard over the oven. After a week or two, the smell had us thinking something crawled into the oven vent from outside and died. It took me noticing something bubbling up from between two casserole dishes to realize what happened.
