I live on left overs! Don't eat meat though.Member #14 of SKI-ers club

May I suggest next time, make up a batch of the pasties, then only cook what your going to eat today, then put the rest in the fridge/freezer uncooked.
That why you only reheat once....today's mood is brought to you by coffee, lack of sleep and idiots.

The rule I was taught at school was:
Poultry or white meat (pork, veal) should only be reheated once.
Red meat (beef, lamb, venison) and veg can be reheated twice.
Things may have moved on since then as someone has also since told me that reheating things like rice, gravy, pasta is dangerous as it can cause food poisoning due to something to do with the starches.
Maybe someone who has recently done a food hygiene certificate would know?
My preference is to only reheat once whatever the meal. I definitely wouldn't reheat turkey pasties twice I'd eat them cold tomorrow or do what cornishchick suggests.Be not so busy making a living that you forget to make a life0 -
I reheated my turkey pie the day after (in the oven) with no ill effects and it wasn't that warm after 30 minutes.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0

If you reheated once then eat cold it avoids most problems. I try and avoid leftovers in the first place but if you can avoid reheating a second time.It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.0

We managed to eat them all, though there was only one extra really

The latest EU food hygiene regulations probably now state that you shouldn't even cook things once, just in case.
As long as you reheat it thoroughly, then you ought to also cook any bugs as well.
We had beef on Christmas Day. The leftovers were frozen until Sunday. Then we braised them in gravy and had half of this. The final leftovers then went into the fridge until yesterday. Then we reheated them, in the conventional oven, and finished them off. No waste whatsoever. No ill effects whatso... <thud>. If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5?

Can you reheat a jacket potato?
I've just cooked one for someone, but they are going to be delayed. Don't know if I can reheat it later or if to give it to the birds and do another one when they arrive.[FONT="]“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~ Maya Angelou[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]0
