For example, it you store a bowl of leftover food in the refrigerator, must you place a lid on that bowl or just store it as is? I have heard a rumor that if you place a lid on it, it can be contaminated by bacteria.

We're going on a trip by car and we'll be bringing food to cook there. The car ride plus before the food can reach a fridge would be around 6 - 7 hours. Food we're bringing are sirloin beef, and chopped veggies, like peppers, carrots, tomatoes, sealed in zip lock bags. Is putting them all in a cooler the best way to store them in the trunk of a car?

When we store the food we digest, where are they stored? And why are they stored

Tin cans used to look silvery on the inside and food was decanted into something else to store in the fridge but now the tins seem to be painted white inside except for a narrow strip from top to bottom, about the width of a matchstick. Does this mean things have changed for the better? Can we store these cans of food in the fridge? Dear Ash, Calling me WEMBS made me laugh. I will adopt this nickname now. xxxxx Wembs
