Since "beaten" refers to a cooking process rather than a specific ingredient, storage tips depend on the food being prepared. Generally, store cooked food promptly in airtight containers in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth. Ensure food cools down quickly before refrigerating; do not leave it at room temperature for more than two hours (or one hour if the temperature is above 90°F).

Consult safe food handling guidelines for the particular food you are storing.
