What are the recommendations for storing foods safely?

What will be an ideal response?


Foodborne bacteria multiply most rapidly in temperatures between 40° and 140°F (4.4-60°C), a range known as the danger zone. Cold foods should be stored and served below 40°F, and hot foods must be kept above 140°F. The only sure way to tell if a food has reached a safe temperature is to measure it using a kitchen thermometer, usually at the center of the food item.
