Spaghetti Long, round best for Tomato sauces and variety of sauces Macaroni Short, bent macaroni Uses Salad sauces Refrigerate cooked food and perishable goods for shorter storage. Within two hours **cooked food** must be chilled temperature **below 5°C**. Otherwise, cross contamination occurs if food is left at room temperature. **Shelf life of chilled food** is approximately **3-5 days** if properly stored. Applying **FIFO 'First In, First Out'** plays an essential role in storing food systematically. It simply means labelling the leftover food with date you store them and its shelf life. Shelf life Storage for Dry Pasta 2 -- 3 years Shelf life -Plain Cooked Pasta -- 3 -- 5 days Sauced Pasta 1 -- 2 days Shelf life -frozen cooked pasta -frozen sauced pasta - 2 -3 months Required Temperature Cool temperature from 0°C to -18°C
