I'd probably take out the prawns and give them to the cat and then reheat the rest

It's nice when people love their pets so much.

My girlfriend always whines about me reheating take-aways (sometimes 3-4 days in the fridge lol), I've never gotten into any trouble because of it though, must have a stomach of steel!

It should be fine. It's not advisable to re-heat rice based dishes however; depending on whether the rice was fresh initially or autoclaved as in microwave rice. Fresh cooked rice should not be stored and re-heated.

Most meats are date-stamped to last 3 days in the fridge. Therefore your leftovers can be kept accordingly and should be fine as long as it's reheated thoroughly in the microwave/oven.

I've heard this, but I love microwaved rice. I prefer it to fresh rice.

Disagree'd, and thoroughly so. If something's supposed to be hot, eat it hot - cold pizza, pies, chips, chinese, beans & anything else is wrong & disgusting. Personally, I reheat what I can in the oven rather than the microwave - stops pizzas, pies & pasties getting soggy and makes most other things taste better than microwaved equivalent.

You can't beat opening up a tin of baked beens and eating them straight, they've already been cooked so its good to go..

Never known anyone to get ill from rice,
Also it's not the reheating. It's. A slow cool down period that causes the problem, the bacteria release a toxin that is not broken down by heat.

If you're buying microwaveable rice from the supermarket then you have nothing to worry about, it has been sterilised. It's only fresh (hard) rice which has been boiled, kept by for hours and re-heated (or not even) which can pose a danger.

Yup if you whack it in the fridge a bit after cooking it the bacteria can't grow or something. Thats how they do it in the ready meal factories. Puting hot things in the fridge isn't good tho

Never have any left overs anyway

Have you never had egg fried rice?

Only if you leave them in the microwave for too long.

 

[Dan.m]

Cant stand takeaway reheated (pizza is okay) i usually eat them cold.

 

[Narj]

Indian reheats pretty well.

I find that it tastes better next day as it's had all that extra time to marinate.

Love curry on toast in the morning!

 

[Gilly]

Curry only exists to mask the taste of bad meat. Why make that worse by then leaving it even longer?

I always get chicken breast in the curries from from my local? Fair enough if the curry house someone's using is chucking in all the nasty parts though.

Love my regular curry house - have known the owner for years now. A good curry house is like a good woman, once you've found one, you don't stray (very often)

Thats why people started using spices and stuff, it's far from that these days though.

Reheating pizza?

A criminal offence surely?!
