Beat the Heat: Tips for Serving Refreshing Appetizers All Summer Long

Keep it Cool: Choose appetizers that are served cold, as they are safer to leave out for a short time in the heat. If you do serve something that needs to stay cold, use ice packs or Ice Chilled Party Platters to keep it safe to eat.

Skip the Mayo: Avoid dips made with mayonnaise, as they can spoil quickly in warm weather.

Fresh Prep: Wash and cut up your fruits and vegetables right before serving them to prevent them from getting soggy or turning brown.

Recipe FAQ's

How long can I safely leave appetizers out at room temperature?

Most appetizers shouldn't sit out longer than two hours, or one hour if it's really hot outside (over 90°F). Veggie appetizers are usually okay for a bit longer. However anything with meat, fish, dairy, or eggs needs to be kept cold.

If you're serving hot appetizers, make sure they stay hot! Refresh your platters often with small portions to keep everything safe and delicious.

How should I store leftover appetizers that have been sitting out?

Leftover appetizers that sat out for less than two hours can usually be refrigerated, but use your judgment.

If they contain meat, seafood, eggs, or dairy, it's safer to toss them. Cool leftovers quickly in shallow containers. If the appetizers were frozen, don't refreeze them.
