Is this going to be safe.......

My personal belief based on a combination of what I learnt about food hygiene and a sprinkle of common sense would be...as long as the chicken was fine when you first cooked it, then chilled down properly, then used in the quiche, chilled down properly, then frozen...I would say it was fine to eat either cold (defrosted properly) or hot (heated to an adequate temp). It would be different if you had cooked the chicken, frozen the chicken, defrosted the chicken, made the quiche and then froze the quiche. Hope that makes sense lol.

I'm guilty of re-heating things mulitiple times too. Chicken is first cooked in the slow cooker.

Some of the cooked meat is kept to be made into casseroles, curries etc in my SC, and usually eaten over two days, which means heating in the microwave on the 2nd day. Sometimes the cooked meat is frozen, then de-frosted before using.

The carcass, skin, etc, is then made into stock in my SC, for soups (in my SC again), which are eaten, and re-heated over a couple of days.

As long as the chicken is fresh, and is cooked thoroughly, and stored hygienically once cooked, and re-heated thouroughly, it should be fine.

I've never had food poisoning from food prepared this way.

Yes, I do all these things as well and we have always been alright. Just don't sue us, if it doesn't work out lol.

It's called rubber chicken because you *stretch* the chicken out to make several meals - e.g. initial roast, cooked meat used for other meals, stock from carcass etc.

For the record, I have reheated the same meat several times on loads of occasions and have never been ill from it yet. :-)

Hi Elf

You have had some varied input already. My two p worth is my body DOES NOT LIKE chicken that's been cooked more than twice . I would personally only reheat once after cooking - if i eat something that's been cooked more than that it actually errrr ummmm, how to say - makes me vomit quite badly! :eek:

But you have to find your limits and what you are comfortable with - let us know what you decide

I'll merge this with this thread later.

reheating chicken may have some useful info in it

thanks
