I’m not sure if this is perhaps a stupid question, but me and DP are both convinced we’re right and the other is wrong and I need a verdict.
If you have some plain cooked meat (say, chicken drumsticks) that you could eat cold, but could also heat up and have hot, do you need to make sure they are heated through and piping hot, if you do heat them?
My OH thinks that you can eat them cold, and eat them hot but if you do heat them and the centre doesn’t get hot enough (ie the same temp you would need if you were cooking from raw) then it’s dangerous to eat. I think that as long as you’re eating right away, the centre being only lukewarm (this mainly happens due to messing up timings when reheating, I don’t aim for it) doesn’t pose anymore of a threat than eating it cold? Who is right?
