Leftovers
From our Facebook page, Is it better to wrap leftovers if foil or put it in zip lock bags?

annefood 6yr Hey @mmorawski ! Good question. In general, I prefer to store leftovers in glass containers because there won't be any interaction between the food and the material in which it is stored. Glass is naturally BPA-free, which is great. That being said, there are some instances in which foil and ziplock bags work well. Ziplock freezer bags help prevent freezer burn if you plan to freeze the leftovers, and foil can be helpful if you plan to stick your leftovers straight into the oven to reheat, since foil can go in the oven (note: do not microwave foil).
