How to Avoid Soggy Chinese Takeout
Soggy takeout is often a menu and packaging problem, not only a delivery-time problem.
Guide
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Steam trapped with fried food | Use vented packaging when practical. |
| Sauce applied too early | Pack sauce separately for vulnerable items. |
| Noodles over-sauced | Control sauce volume and packing time. |
| Hot and cold items bagged together | Separate bags when feasible. |
| Long delivery radius | Restrict fragile dishes or label them for pickup only. |
