thanks to all you guys who answered my question though!

Answer 1

I would say definitely yes - especially if you're reheating it the same day you cooked it. Just don't overheat it, or you'll end up with pasta brule! I'd give it maybe one or at the most two minutes. Bon appetit.

Answer 2

Your using the nuker (microwave) right?

Keep all food in the fridge unless your going to serve it within a small amount of time. Meaning within 10-15 min. Dont want to get sick right?

Microwave things slowly. Use more time and less power if you know how to navigate the thing. Try 6 min at 60% power if its real cold make sure you break it up a bit into small portions about 2.5 inches and push it back together after to make it look nice. Thicker things take longer if you have to separate things up a bit do it! Heat the thick things first. Or heat things separately.

Bread is a nuker no no. Do it separately from anything else only 15 sec at a time. Nothing worse than hard on the sides nuked bread YUCK!

DONT USE PLASTIC WRAP ON FOOD IN A NUKER! ITS NO GOOD especially if it melts on the food its NO GOOD. Use a paper plate to avoid splatter and if its cheesy or gooky stuff wet it first.

If you store it correctly after cooking it will be fine. Cool it before you put it in the fridge by putting a serve on a plate with foil or wrap over it. Keep it in a cool place not next to machinery or in sunlight as it will go off. Once it is cool to the touch on the base of the place put it straight in the fridge. Putting a hot plate into a fridge can cause surrounding food to heat up and allow bacteria to breed rapidly. Reheat gently on medium heat for about 3 -3.5 mins and check to see the centre is hot before serving. If not, then zap for 30 seconds on high.

I did my food hygiene corse a few years ago now, but from what i remember its ok to reheat something twice as long as the food is piping hot all the way through. Thats means cook it. reheat ie boyf for tonight and then should be ok once more. But the last one may have changed ?? or dropped off

Answer 5

Separate your boyfriend's portion immediately you've cooked it and place it in a covered dish. Refrigerate immediately. It is fine to reheat it. Pasta however is not the best foodstuff for these situations though as it has a tendency to go rubbery. If you have a 'steamer' you will have no difficulty - see all those pasta dishes in the ready meal ranges in supermarkets!

Answer 6

It's fine to reheat, I do it all the time. I usually reheat in the oven though but the microwave will work.

Answer 7

sure, but it may taste a bit rubbery and u must heat it loads cos always the middle is cold. if he wants it to taste better and doesnt mind what it looks like, throw it in a pan and heat it slowly, and give it a good mix so the pasta gets a coating from the sauce and the cheese and wont taste so bad.

ur meal sounds nice though and just reminded me that i should eat :)

Answer 8

most meals are fine to reheat once. especially if its only a few hrs old. labels generally say do not reheat if its a problem and that's generally meat/dairy products

Answer 9

Should be ok. Just make sure you keep it in the oven until he gets home. Then if it needs reheating, make sure it's well cooked before you give it to him.

Answer 10

It's fine, I do it all the time. Food with no any sort of meat, you can heat it as much as you want, no problems. Food with meat, recommended reheating is only once.
