To eat a two day old Chinese takeaway?

[Ezlo]

I got beef and mushrooms and egg fried rice on Wednesday. It'll be OK if I heat it thoroughly tonight won't it?

I definitely would, I hate wasting takeaway food. Especially if not traveling anywhere and with access to a good toilet in the day after.

I would, but I've got a gut of steel.

if it smells/looks ok, that's my guidelines.

It's fine as long as it's piping hot.

Takes me 3 days to finish a Chinese, I would do it. Nuke the rice

Don’t eat the rice.

Reheated Chinese leftovers = food of the gods.
A set meal for 4 feeds us for best part of a week!

Of course you can reheat rice! It is usually good for 3 days if it's been in the fridge or freezer. And make sure its very hot.

I would. I make rice in quantities and reheat all the time. Especially for fried rice. I just take out the right number of portions and fry from frozen. Or nuke leftovers from the takeaway.

I have reheated rice for 25 years without issue.

Be careful with the rice!

You need to be very careful with rice as it can contain a dangerous bacteria that can cause a nasty bout of food poisoning. You would need to reheat it really thoroughly until it's steaming hot. I have done this on quite a few occasions over the years and never been ill (yet!).

I'd eat it, Id heat the food really well before eating and I wouldn't give it to my DD. Id only risk my health not hers!

Of course it's fine just reheat thoroughly. What is the matter wirh people! This is up.there with I can never wear any clorhes twice. You will be fine OP enjoy your takeaway.

I would.

Thank you everyone. Such a mix of responses. Well, I'm being brave and reheating both the rice and the beef dish. Yum! Hope I don't poo myself in the night ha ha ha.

Assuming you put the leftovers in the fridge then I wouldn't have thought twice about it.
If you are concerned or the rice doesn't smell nice (it's the egg part I wouldn't be sire about) then just put it with some fresh cooked rice.

Christ, I want a Chinese takeaway now! 😆

And yes to Phil Wang, saw that a while ago. Hilarious and true!

Yes do this all the time. As long as heat well

Was it stored in the fridge? If so it’s absolutely fine.

I often eat Chinese next day, and on some occasions the second day if for some reason I wasn’t able to finish it the next day. Heck, I’ll even freeze it if I have to! It won’t make you ill unless you’ve left it sat on the side. In which case it still probably would be fine, but definitely more risky. Make sure it’s well heated.

Oh my god, why?! 😬😬

I'm usually quite relaxed about reheating food but I wouldn't in this case. Some of it might have been reheated before you got it or been hanging around in warm conditions.

Nope

I’d normally say yeah but I’ve just got a really really bad bout of food poisoning from doing this last weekend I’m not over it yet, so it’s not worth it!!

I've been re heating takeawaya for over 30 years and no ill effects in the slightest, do you have a medical condition or some sort?

Leftover rice most certainly is not.
