Just looked through a new article – by Michael Mosley: When is it safe to reheat leftovers?
Are you, Mr Michael Mosley, off your rocker? Are you suggesting by your article that eating reheated food is actually dangerous? So, I am supposed to cook new foods every day, for every meal? I have to actually cook my lunch new every time? I am not allowed to heat up leftovers any more? And what about people cooking up a storm and cooking for the whole week ahead of the time?
So, according to this article even rice can be dangerous and make you sick??? Rice, rice is not safe to eat? So, what do I eat then? And then the author, in the end, concludes with the phew note – rice, in fact, is ok to eat as long as you make sure you use common food safety standards. Seriously, this is news today.
You all rich people stop reheating food or else you will get sick, is that the moral here? Are we trying to make drama out of reheating food now? Are we trying to create a scene and a sensation out of reheating rice? Or what? I am sorry, I don’t understand. This is the news story that people have been talking a lot about today!
I am honestly surprised this story is a BBC News story and everyone is participating in sensationalizing this piece. I am disappointed. I guess I should start getting ashamed at eating leftovers now. What about the whole world of people eating food, does everyone really cook every meal new, from scratch nowadays? My grandparents used to eat out of the same can with mold, they would just scoop out the mold, and eat the rest. Maybe heat the stuff to a boiling point. We would certainly eat leftovers all the time! Especially for lunch, and I still do, and this is the way I eat my lunch. I know a lot of people who cook one day per week for the whole week. How does that differ from just plain eating leftovers – I am not sure.

I will eat leftovers and reheat for till forever lol!! Don’t care!! Some food is way better leftover anyways!!
Eh. Take it with a grain of salt. I reheat all the time too and I’m not planning on making any changes either.
I would like to thank you for the information, and the location to find the original story. It is well appreciated.
Hi, thank you for your comment, sorry, I had to post a rant there, couldn’t help it.
I totally agree! Especially all those stews he is warning in the article about – a bunch of nonsense
This is nuts! I’ll go on the tried and tested theory rather than some quacks! If I’ve been fine eating leftovers my whole life, and my parents and grandparents were fine their whole lives, then I deem it safe for me and my family! What about when we didn’t have refrigerators! Jeez.
Ridiculous! Some foods are better reheated homemade soups, chili, etc). I wouldn’t listen to him. lol
I reheat all the time. I make rice in the microwave and reheat in it the leftovers for the next day. Just another ploy to get us to spend money.
I know that my family has reheated food, leftovers for years and we are still ok. What will they come up with next? Thank you for sharing
