How to Store Leftover Bacon
Fridge safety first
Refrigerate cooked meat within 2 hours of cooking (within 1 hour if the room is hot). Store it in a sealed container on the bottom shelf of the fridge and eat within 3–4 days, or freeze for longer. When in doubt, throw it out — reheating does not make spoiled meat safe.
