Food could be kept warm or cold for hours if you store them in casseroles. Here are nine points to note while using casseroles in the kitchen.

1. Wash the casserole with lukewarm water before storing hot food and wash with cold water before keeping cold food.

2. Do not keep the casserole near stove or in warm places.
