Reheating chicken pie

[stormymcstormface]

Made a chicken pie yesterday - there was too much so I’ve ended up with one intact pie cooked and cooled and now in the fridge ...

What temp can I reheat it on to make sure it gets to the right temperature all the way through but not so that the puff pastry is doomed?

No one- is this one of those things that people just know?

I would just nuke it in the microwave for a couple of minutes

If you have a food thermometer, reheat to around 70-75 centigrade. Cover pastry with loose foil to prevent burning or if just a lid take it off, heat filing properly and reheat pastry for last 10 minutes.

I wouldn't heat in the microwave as the pastry would go all soft and soggy. Put in oven with tinfoil then take off foil for a few mins to crunch up pastry

Tinfoil over the top to stop it burning then preheat over to 180 and put it in for 25 minutes. (Take off foil 5 minutes before the end of cooking time). It should be piping hot all the way through by the end. Test by cutting the crust in the centre and see if steam escapes.

Thank you! What temperature should I do?

Sorry I’ve just seen that’s been said- thank you everyone for your help

Thank you everyone- I successfully reheated and served the pie- pastry survived thanks to the foil. So simple when you know how!
