We've alot left over and seems such a shame to throw it. Windering if I pop it in the fridge woukd it be ok to reheat for tea tomorrow?

Absolutely fine including the rice.

No, I never trust that stuff hasn't been reheated already.

itsbritneybiatches · 04/10/2018 21:14

I don't even reheat. And I leave it in the microwave all night lol.

Interested in this thread?

Of course you can. Always too much in a take-away, so have always put leftovers in the fridge and reheated the next day.

Tastes better next day

TheMagicTorch · 05/10/2018 07:32

Yep! Love it the second day!

Yes. I’d even hear the rice but I’d cool it quickly and not leave it sitting on the side and reheat to roasting.

Glad the consensus is to reheat for once. I despair of all the people who usually say they'd never do it because they consider it high risk.

I've probably eaten reheated Chinese at least twice a month for the last 25 years and have never been ill, due to reheated Chinese or probably any other food for that matter, so I don't think it's high risk at all.

Battered delicacies can go in the toasted sandwich maker

Now that is genius, going to try that. I usually microwave because I can't be arsed waiting for the oven to warm up and it seems a bit of a waste putting it on for a couple of spring rolls or whatever, but I do like the idea of using the sandwich toaster.

@flowerpot1000000 you cant come on to a page and boast about having a Chinese Takeaway without telling us what you ordered.?

YBR · 05/10/2018 10:42

Yes. Definitely.
Rice can be a risk so I would be cautious if susceptible for some reason, but I've not had a problem to date.

No rice we had noodles Grin

@Lwmommy

Chicken/pork...in batter goes squidgy

Not if you reheat it in the oven...
