Quick Questions on reheating

apple_mint

I've also reheated my apple / blackberry crumbles in the microwave with no problems at all.

Sorry I don't have a gas oven so I'm not sure of the temperatures. I used to cook my crumbles in the main oven at 180 C for 25 minutes (I now cook them in my remoska ). To reheat in an oven I'd probably have it a bit lower than this and gently warm through for about 15 minutes or so - trying not to brown the top too much more.

I'd probably assemble the crumble now and then put it in the oven on gas 3/4 for half an hour or so later....our oven seems to be quite hot so I always go a bit lower than usual.

If you cook it now and then reheat it, you might have to watch it carefully to make sure it doesn't get too brown and that might spoil your lunch?

Gas mark 4 would be fine. Just check it's piping hot before serving.

I sometimes cook extra crumbles in ramekins and freeze as they make quick and easy puds for mid week. I also freeze bags of crumble mix, as they make easy toppings when in a hurry.

I have some cooked pork meatballs in the freezer, leftover from a meal where I miscalculated the amount we could eat. :rolleyes: Now I'm worried about reheating them. Is there a safe way to do it?

Is cooked pork meat special?

I wouldn't reheat it in any different way to any other cooked meat product - defrost in fridge first and reheat in oven or you could fry, heat in a pan with a sauce - however you'd like to cook the meatballs, just make sure they are piping hot and cooked through. You could defrost in the microwave too just before you cook them, but this can make meat rather dry so I try not to.


I hope there is not some special consideration with pork, like there is with rice for example, but I have never heard of any. (waits to be enlightened by the wise OS ones on here:D )

I have always thought you had be specially careful with pork - not sure why, but I seem to think you can get food poisoning more easily by reheating pork, more than, say, beef?
Mind you, I happily reheat chicken and I know you have to be careful with that....
I just don't have pork very often, so I'm a bit nervous of it and don't want to poison any of us!

You have to be careful to cook pork properly due to tapeworm. It does not survive cooking and is rarely found in pork nowadays. It is fine to reheat it as any potential tapeworm will be destroyed.

Edit: Don't read the link if you are about to have pork for dinner.

Hi all!

My OH made some soup today which she has sent me off with tonight, but as we don't have a microwave at home I have no idea how long to heat it for and on what setting!

Quick answer appreciated as otherwise I might get hungry
