TIME REMAIN O1:20:3 Susie finished preparing a dish for a dinner party being held the next day. What step should she take to store the food properly? Use (aluminum) foil to cover the food dish. Leave the food out on the counter until the next day. Use a container that is at least six inches deep. Put leftovers in a container filled less than two inches deep.

To ensure Susie's dish remains fresh for the dinner party, she should use aluminum foil to cover it properly. This prevents air exposure, which can lead to spoilage or the absorption of odors from the fridge. It's an easy way to keep her culinary creation safe and sound until it's time for the party! Putting leftovers in a container that's less than two inches deep is another smart move. This allows for quicker cooling and minimizes the risk of bacterial growth. Keeping food at the right temperature is key to serving up a delicious dinner without the worry of foodborne illnesses. Happy hosting!
