Morning, happy Boxing Day all! We made gravy on Saturday ready for the big day.. roasted chicken wings, fresh stock etc.. So it obviously got reheated yesterday for Christmas dinner and went down a treat, but we still have loads left. I’m sure I read in the recipe not to reheat it again, but what do you think? I’m normally fine with stuff like that, but chicken, and reheating again is usually a no-no :confused:
 
Been reheating the vats of gravy my family (and now me) have made over multiple times and days for decades and never had a problem. As long as you store it correctly etc it's fine.

This.
 
Its fine.

Whenever we have roast chicken we will strip it down the next day, cook the leftover good meat in whatever and make a stock with what's left, bones etc. The stock goes in the fridge then its added to other dishes that need chuck stock, so potentially reheated for 3 or 4 times, anything left after that is given to the dogs.
 
me and the missus will reheat big pots of soup many times over 4 or 5 days and we haven’t died or turned into zombies yet so I guess reheating gravy will be ok

Does your soup have meat in it though? That's kinda critical. Funnily enough I'm making some minestrone soup to take to work this week. I won't reheat the lot every time but it lasts 4-5 days sat out in the kitchen without giving my any trouble. Wouldn't do that with meat-based food though.

Yep, my mum used to keep veg soup for About 5 days also with bacon pieces in it. We reheat the whole pan every day until it’s boiling
