Beef ragout heated 3 times?

[MmedeGouge]

I made a beef ragout in my Instant pot yesterday.
Today I reheated it in a home made lasagna.
My supper guests have just cancelled- I have two thirds of the lasagne left. My Dh wants me to either freeze it or reheat it tomorrow.
My cooking lessons at school (one hundred years ago!) taught me only to reheat meat twice. My inclination is to bin it.
Any thoughts?

I wouldn’t reheat again.

I'd be fine heating it again. Especially if you're going to freeze it, as long as you've kept to safe re-heating/cooling/storing practices. It'll be absolutely fine.

I would reheat mince again. It gets better every time. I do the twice thing only with chicken and 'real' meat. Not sure of the logic of that though.... 🤷‍♀️

I agree.

I'd reheat it - it's beef not chicken.

I’ve done this lots. My mother makes her lasagna, cooks it, then reheats for guests, then freezes any left overs.

My ragu contains chicken livers and still have never had a problem with it!

It's not necessarily the third reheating that is the issue, it's the previous two lots of cooling. The more time food spends in the temperature 'danger zone' the more potential for bacteria growth. So it depends on how quickly you cooled the mince both times as to how risky it would be to eat it now.

Although the above is true for rice as the bacteria is heat resistant, it’s not true for the food described here as long as you ensure it’s all heated evenly. Reheated in the oven once defrosted is the best method.

Thank you all.
Its in the freezer now.
