Practical at first glance, the habit is actually harmful. We will tell you why it is better to transfer food to a plate or container, and not to leave it in this form.
Composition of products
The composition of many food products includes acids, the interaction of which with the metal surface leads to oxidation. This is how you can spoil the pan, especially if there is already mechanical damage on the surface.
Aluminum
In aluminum dishes, food cannot be served at all, let alone stored. All the more so under the ban on everything salty and sour. At the same time, the shelf life of food is shortened, and human health also suffers.
Quality
In addition, food in a pan will air out faster and will be permeated with odors that have settled in the refrigerator.
How to store correctly
It is best to transfer leftover food into containers, even plastic ones. But it is even better in a glass container (ordinary jars), which does not absorb odors and does not oxidize.
