Quick help with ‘is this ok to eat’ please!

[Wouldloveanother]

My Nan cooked a chicken curry yesterday, froze it and brought it round today. I just came downstairs and DH has cooked it again from frozen. It’s small diced chicken pieces not a leg etc. Is it ok to eat do you think? 10 weeks pregnant so being a bit careful…

Thanks!

Fine.

Yep it's fine

Yes, perfectly fine as long as it's piping hot.

As long as its hot all the way through then it's fine

If it was cooked fresh then frozen it is fine to reheat it as long as it is piping hot throughout.

Great thanks everyone! I would’ve been gutted if you’d all said no! DH is under strict instructions to cook for an extra 15 minutes 🤤

I cook all mine from frozen again. Just make sure it boils a for bit to make aure meat reaches the correct temperature and you will always be fine.

I don't understand, what else would you have done with it?

Defrosted it first? Was my query really.

Oh right. It would never have crossed my mind to defrost it first. I didn't know that was a thing people did tbh!

Safer to cook from frozen as bacteria would have more opportunity to multiply if it slowly thawed at an ambient temperature.

I usually defrost before reheating tbh

Well he took my ‘make sure it’s thoroughly cooked’ instruction very literally, and incinerated it to the point that it was dry pulled chicken on noodles 😂

This is my thinking too, always from frozen. I usually microwave for a few mins to soften and then heat through in a pan

Defrost in the fridge overnight usually, then reheat - takes less cooking time. But from frozen is fine, I usually cook longer than needed just to be sure.

It didn't even need frozen if only cooked yesterday, reheating would be fine. But yes, from frozen is grand.
