    Why can't we save food in cans in the fridge ?

    We're not supposed to keep left over canned food in the can ----in the fridge . But, why not ? .......the can kept it well enough for months. Besides, cans aren't made of tin like they used to be.

    Cans are made differently today. In the old days they were bare metal and once oxygen hit the inside of the can, the can would begin to rust. Today, cans are made with a processed metal that resists rust, some are coated to stop rust so, it's safe enough to leave an open can in the fridge for a day or 2. I would not go past that though.

    It would be best to cover the can you're putting in the fridge for a few days.

    YOU NEVER SAVE CANNED FOOD UNLESS IT'S SPAM !OR SOME THING SIMILAR,AND YOU THROW IT OUT AFTER 3 DAYS.YOU PUT IT ON A SMALL PLATE AND COVER IT WITH A SMALL BOWL AND KEEP IT IN THE FRIDGE.OTHER THAN THAT IT IS NO POINT OPENING IT IF YOU CAN'T EAT IT,THE SAME DAY.WE NEVER DO !

    Any food not consumed must be placed in a clean air resistant container a kept refrigerated for seventy-two hours or kept in the freezer compartment for one month and date mark the package to be sure.

    Canned food in the fridge  Nooooo.


    When in doubt,  


    Throw it out
