How To Store Leftovers

how to store bechamel sauce

Once the sauce has been prepared, let it cool, then transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge.

Use a piece of plastic wrap to let the sauce cool.

Using the cling film will prevent the formation of a film on the surface since, going then to turn once cold, it could cause lumps to form.

It can be left in the refrigerator for two, maximum three days, otherwise it can also be frozen.

The frozen one should be heated in a small pot with very low flame and little milk.
