Hey guys got an indian takeaway friday night and one curry and one rice has remained in the fridge unopened from it's foil container so how long will it be ok for and how should i heat it?

Thanks

Done it with Chinese many times with no problems, nuked it from orbit very well just to make sure, but never tried it with an Indian before. Let us know if you survive as I rarely order Indian as I've always been worried about reheating the next day.

Don't eat it.. I'm sure it will be fatal..

You'll need to cook it for about 6 hours at 200oC to be safe.

eat it cold much nicer

What curry is it?

decmatt · 9 May 2010 at 12:22

It will be fine, just remove from the foil container when putting it in the Microwave

20 mins @ 180ºC. Thank you please.

So is oven the best way to heat it as i usually find the microwave takes away the flavour?!

cold curry is exceptional

Personally I wouldn't reheat in the oven, I'd only reheat in the microwave. Of course that's just my preference. Never had an issue so won't change the way I do it.

Reheating cooked rice is bad m`kay.........Salmonella is not your friend,bit like playing russian roulette.

....But i`ve done it loads of times,so hey

The oven will cook it more evenly, you can also still use the metal container in the oven.

Either is fine, just personal preference really more than anything. However you heat it up just make sure you do it thoroughly and you will be fine. Done this many times before.

it will be nicer as the meat will have had more time to marinade

You have left over curry :eek:

deus3x · 9 May 2010 at 12:51

I am sure it will be ok, id oven it and be sure its heated thoroughly.

theNude · 9 May 2010 at 12:54

microwave until hot throughout, i'd eat it up to 4 days old, after that if its not in a air tight container it will go a bit dry

PhillyDee · 9 May 2010 at 13:01

Curry yes, not the rice.
You should not eat reheated rice.

Foxxy · 9 May 2010 at 13:12

Yea it will be fine, nuke it for 3-4 mins i find works

Man up sunshine. It.ll be fine for days. Throw it in a pot and heat over a medium heat whilst stirring.
