How do I keep takeaway fries from going soggy on the drive home?
Our answer
Vent the takeaway container and keep fries separate from wet foods; trapped steam makes them soggy.
Why this approach makes sense
The useful decision is usually the storage temperature, container or time since preparation, not a special gadget.
Before you try it
If food shows signs of spoilage or has not been kept at a safe temperature, do not try to rescue it with extra seasoning or heating.
