Would you reheat chicken takeaway curry?

[SpiderHeart]

Ordered yesterday. We only ate half. We also don't have a microwave so would need to be reheated in oven.

Yup

Of course! Why not? I would use the hob though if it’s a curry with gravy

Of course.

Leftover curry is the best curry.

Oven might fry it out though. Put it over a pan of simmering water with a pot lid over the plate. Make sure it’s piping hot all the way through.

Absolutely! 20 mins on 200! It's the best but about ordering curry. You can freeze it too and then when you get enough you can have mystery curry night because you forget the lids.. or maybe that's me!!

Yup. Just get it really hot, all the way through.

Definitely. It tastes even better the next day.

Agree hob may be better. Either way, a bit of extra water may be needed

Thanks I was a bit worried about the chicken

No. But only because I eat leftover takeaways cold.

Yes I can’t finish a full curry so always reheat the next day. In original foil container, cover with kitchen foil, 20 mins at 200. I usually warm left over bahjis and popadom too but only a few mins for the bahjis and less than a minute for the popadom.

Delicious. Of course! I’d do it on the job if no microwave.

hob, obviously

Has is been left out since yesterday or been in the fridge? If in the fridge it'll be perfectly fine, no reason why it wouldn't be, enjoy!

We do this sometimes. Left over Curry is stored in fridge and then reheated the next day or the day after. I would actually heat it in a saucepan if you don't have a microwave. Easier to check it's hot throughout.

Did so this evening - well DP did. Heated it up on the hob.

It's re-heating rice you need to be really careful about - as long as the chicken is hot all the way through, it's fine

I wouldn't to be honest (I would probably eat it cold whilst standing at the fridge)

We order extra curries so that we can have them the next day if we are having a busy couple of days with no time to cook. We don’t reheat rice.

Adding tiny bit pf cold water to rice and covering over helps it not dry out when reheating gently. Then fluff with fork.

Get a microwave

Everything but the rice. Rice is one of the biggest food poisoning culprits.

Curry's better the next day anyway. I don't bother with rice though. Chuck it in a pan, stick a lid on and heat through.

I eat it cold! Don’t reheat the rice though due to potential bacillus cereus poisoning.

Never thought I'd hear of heathens that eat curry cold me gobs shriveling up at the thought.

OK, who's having takeaway curry tonight after this thread? 😋
