Storage and Reheating

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.

Reheat gently so the center stays tender and the sauce does not dry out.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Overcooking: Lean meat and seafood dry out quickly.
  • Uneven pieces: Different sizes cook at different speeds.
  • No rest time: Meat slices cleaner and juicier after a short rest.
  • Crowding: Crowding traps steam and slows browning.
