Can you or do you eat leftovers straight from the fridge?

the only thing that i reheat is potatoes, but normally i dont have left overs cause i only cooking for me and my wife

We don't usually keep leftovers, but if we have to we would use the microwave. Keeping things in the fridge doesn't kill bacteria, and after a few hours the amount of bacteria in food can get really scary. I read somewhere that reheating on the stove is okay as long as the heat can get to the middle and kill all the bacteria, but most of the time it is not recommended. The microwave still works best, especially if you wet the food first :)

Depends on what it is... I will usually reheat but sometimes eat it cold as long as it is not in between because that is when the bacteria begins to grow. They can't grow in cold or when it is piping hot so I will usually heat it up till boiling then let it cool a bit befor eating.

Hello,smints8985,i will not eat the leftovers straight from the fridge,most of the time,i will reheat it into the fridge for few mintues so taht it will be soft enough for me to eat,if it is rice,i will have cook fried rice on the pan.I do not think i have eaten any leftover straight from my fridge before.

No, I don't eat leftover directly from the ref. I prefer to heat it first before taking in...

It depends on what it is. Most things I re-heat. But pizza and occasionally spaghetti I'll eat cold. Leftover hambergers too, sometimes. My son will eat any pasta right out of the fridge... spaghetti, fettucine, mac & cheese...

i always warm my food in the microwave before eating it unless its ice cream lol!

I usually eat salads and some vegetables like cooked green beans straight from the fridge. Also if I made some extra potato salad, I will use it a couple of days later. However if the food needs warming up, I will usually put it in a container and heat it in the microwave. If it would taste better fried, I will put it in the frying pan after coating the pan with some olive oil and heat it up that way.

i reheat it before eating... theres salmonela inside the fridge so i am not sure if the food is safe or not.

Yeah all the time, as long as its not too old and is still eadible. You must reheat it though as bacteria could have formed whilst in the fridge. It comes in handle when you just want a quick snack or are busy and just like something too fill you up. I don't see anything wrong with it as long as its not stale.

I usually try and heat it up before I eat it.Some food taste better cold sometimes like pizza.

Of course we have to heat them before serving. Sometimes I'd love to do little revision on them too for a change. hahahha

Sometimes i reheat the food from the fridge, but if the food is vegetable , i do not reheat , it depend on what food !

we always reheat leftovers. it helps to kill some growing bacteria(if there is) if it's kept long in the fridge. it would be uncomfortable to eat cold food. i wonder why some people do that. we always reheat through our microwave oven but when it comes to steaks we reheat through the stove.

Nope. I prefer to warm or to cook something new. Its not really good to eat leftovers from the fridge. Actually, you can warm it first then eat it. ;)

i do reheat my food........ but i do not have a fridge.... he he.....

i can never eat cold food straight out of the fridge. i usually microwave leftovers if i want to it eat. i dont like eating cold food, unless of course its ice cream hehe.

No,I cannot eat leftover straight out of refrigerator, I need to re-heat them.

Oh, I have this bad habit. Whenever I take food out from the fridge, I will straight away eat it. It is not because I am lazy to reheat the food, but it is just like NORMAL thing for me. My mom and sister always scold me for my bad habit but it is to no avail. I am still doing it till now. But if the food is for my husband, I always make sure I will reheat it first. He doesn't like cold food and I don't feel good to give him straight away like that :) As for me, my stomach has no problem so far to digest that cold food which I take out right away from the fridge :)

If it's viand, i always reheat them thru microwave.These kinds of foods easily get spoiled so it;s better to reheat them to be safe but I dont reheat and eat them if it's has been there in the ref for a long time,lol.For sure, I might get sick if I eat them. If it's ice cream or fruits like apple, of course i eat them right away after i get them from ref.
