Is there a time to microwave leftover from the refigerator which will assure that they are safe to eat? I know boiling something or baking it for so long will kill bacteria and germs. I don't know how long I should leave last nights mac and cheese in the microwave to make sure I don't get food poisoning. I don't normally have a food thermometor available. I'm asking this based on an average wattage microwave.
Some foods, like meats, are just too tough if microwaved for too long. If they are precooked and just being warmed, does microwaving them for 15 or 30 seconds assure their safety?
thanks.
