When you cook meat

As alex said you can reheat it only once.

Well thats what they tought me when i spent 4 years training to be a chef :spangled:

fuck that id rather get poisoned then throw away last nights missing links

Thats cause they've been part cooked already. So when you cook it your basically reheating it. So you can't do it again

me too mate

ditto

thats also not right you can reheat anything once and that is it.

Not a chef now though. I like my office job too much

neither am i, i only did it while i was going through music college to get me money to go to gatecrasher every weekend.

i've always been told that takeaway rice is cooked with something that emans it shouldn't b reheated cos of the bacteria that grows on it

& chicken is just a no no to reheat

its not and its not, trust me i used to be a chef, and we did it day in day out, not to mention every pizza place in the world cooks there chicken beforehand, and reheats it when it is being cooked on the pizza.

Who told you this?

i've heard it several times & on t.v progs over the years



i also said reheat chicken if you nike it....when you cook pizza you cook it at high temps so it'll kill any bacteria on the chicken

but the chicken on the top doesn't get any hotter than cooking normally.

Also most deli's reheat the chicken on there warm chicken sandwiches, how do you explain that?

Most times I cook something with chicken in it nearly always gets re-heated and it's never made either of us ill

SUCH CONTRADICTION!!!

I am off to the Channel 4 food forums

Leftovers
If you have cooked food that you aren't going to eat straight away, cool it as quickly as possible (ideally within one to two hours) and then store it in the fridge. Don't keep leftovers for longer than two days.

When you reheat food, make sure that it's piping hot all the way through. If the food is only warm it might not be safe to eat. Don't reheat food more than once.

i don't reheat chicken cos i'd rather not risk it

i don't eat hot sarnies wth chicken in..

other people can do what they want but i'm not going to..have heard too many time sthat you shouldn't

in fact the last time was on sat in a supermarket at the freshly cooked chicken counter

tbf though most people probably don't cool the food down quick enough and get it in the fridge, thats whats most peoples problem is.

I always thought you couldn't reheat chicken once it's been cooked. Everything else I thought was OK but not chicken for some reason. I want to cook chicken on a night and then take it into work to make some wraps with it but just a bit wary. Sounds like it's OK from what people have said though so may risk it tomorrow and if I get ill I will lay all responsibility on Alex

i think its alright aslong as when you reheat the chicken its steaming hot, same with pork

I bought a pizza from Asda last night which was one of the fresh ones which has chicken on it which is already cooked. when the pizza is in the oven the chicken is getting re heated isn't it. It's safe
