Indian from last night

Phils_debt

Hi all we ordered an indian last night from just east but it didnt come for 2 hours so we rang just eat cause the takeaway number wasnt in use and they refunded our money so i went to chinese and as i got back the takeaway man ran up and gave it to me and shot off again :eek: .so i have chicken madras and chicken korma and a lamb curry complete with rice and keema nan bread.i left them on the side last night intending to put them in fridge when they cooled down but will these be ok to warm up tonight since they been left on side all night (wary of chicken)

Strange question really but dont want to throw maybe good food away

They will be fine to eat the spices in the meal help preserve them and add that with the cool weather will not be a problem.

I would be quite happy to reheat & eat the curry & naan bread but the rice would be transferred to the compost heap & fresh rice would be cooked to accompany it. Bacillus cereus poisoning is very unpleasant.

Whenever we get a curry we always seem to have loads left over, i usually have it the following 2 days and it's always been fine. I just nuke it in the microwave and let it cool a little. Personally i've never had a problem with re-heating rice, make sure you sprinkle some water over the naan and 30 seconds in the microwave will warm it nicely.hth.xx

Thanks Phils_debt,

I lay awake worrying all night as to wether you survived the meal or not,

I reheated my left over curry from last night, and it tasted lovely. There is enough left for tomorrow to!!

If you reheat something you've cooked yourself you 'know where it's been'.

If you reheat takeaway stuff you don't know how many heat/cool cycles it's already been through.

Applies to everything, not just rice, but cooked rice is classed as a 'high risk' food.
