Managing a Large 2.27 kg Tin Because a 5-pound can is typically packaged for restaurant or wholesale use, handle and store it properly after piercing the lid: • Transfer Containers: Do not store the open metal tin directly in the fridge. Transfer the sauce into clean, airtight plastic squeeze bottles or glass jars. • Refrigeration: Store the transferred containers in the refrigerator immediately. The high salt and sugar content allows it to keep well for several months when chilled.
