Mumsnet vote - reheating leftovers

21 replies

Gem13 · 19/05/2006 12:15

We brought leftovers home from an expensive Chinese restaurant on Tuesday night and put them straight in the fridge.

I'm pondering whether to have them for lunch now. They are in tight locked tupperware type boxes (not foil and cardboard containers).

Would you reheat them?

DH says yes. We quite often reheat rice (next day only) so are quite dare devils unsually.

I figured in the end that it would be fresher than fresh meals from the supermarket and probably handled by far fewer people!

Bit late I know...

But I'd have done it without question seeing as it had been in the fridge

yomellamoHelly · 19/05/2006 20:15
