Storing Leftovers and Tips:

  1. Store patties in an airtight container in your fridge for three days. 
  2. Coleslaw will be good in the refrigerator for up to two days. Discard after this time, as it will become mushy the longer it sits. To avoid this, make up the slaw dressing, store it in the fridge, and only dress the shredded cabbage as needed.
