Chicken

Our favorite source of protein and dinner staple, chicken, is the biggest superstar we all love because it’s easy to cook and it’s delicious. And I know all of us have eaten reheated chicken at least once in our lifetime, but it’s worth knowing that it can be extremely tricky.

A general rule of thumb is that if you want to reheat your chicken to eat as leftovers, you have to do it one time only after you originally cooked it. You also have to make sure that it’s hot, and when I say hot, I mean completely hot through and through to the center and eat it right away.

  1. Carrots and celery you can absolutely use them yet. Just chop them up assuming they are raw one put them in the freezer

  2. Basically what they’re saying for all these is it don’t leave them out on the counter and then eat them later as leftovers well I don’t know anybody who does such a thing of course you refrigerate it and then you reheat it completely based on this article I don’t think I’m going to read or trust anything else on this website

  3. I am 75 years old and have no disease or any medicine to take like any old person does, heating rice which is 3 days old, chicken or potato or carrot or any food that you mention is common in Asian countries and has no adverse effect in our body and I my family and friends are doing it for 75 years of my life that I know. may it be true for some people who have weak guts cause I heard and read some people die by eating leaf over rice or pasta.

  4. This article is ridiculous and instilling fear. I’ve eaten every single one of these foods hundreds of times over the years, heated and unheated, as leftovers, and never, ever have I gotten sick. I’m 75 years old so Ive been doing this for that long. As a matter of fact, many of these foods taste better and have more flavor and intensity when leftover and reheated. Back up your claims with data please!

  5. I’ve eaten everything on this list as leftovers, except beets, which I don’t like anyway. Maybe I’m just lucky, but I’ve never had a problem.
