make your own from scratch, and make sure you only soak enough dried beans for yourself the week before you think you might want them:sleep:...
no, never keep open cans of food in fridge, dangerous http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/b...rage?open:eek:

I have always been taught that it is dangerous to store food in opened tins - that it can cause food poisoning, and he told me I was speaking rubbish.
does anyone else do this?”

from a food hygiene and safety perspective, it is better practice to put the leftovers into another container and get rid of the open tin because of bacterial contamination from the tin; plus you dont risk amputating your hand when you next go to the fridge on any sharp bits!
you're right, your boyfriend is wrong.
here's some useful info

It's not left over dog food out of his bowl!! it's the meat that is left in the tin. Forgetting the tin, there isn't anything wrong with putting dog food in the fridge, dog hasn't gone near it...
Or is that just me?
