Just been round a mates house and he cooked up a HUGE Chili con carne. He rekons that the left-overs will have to be thrown out as you cannot re-heat kidney beans.

Does anyone know if you can? Or is it a health risk?

of course you can!! .....well i do anyway and they taste fine to me!

Yeah what a load of bollocks.

I always cook a huge chilli that lasts about 3 days.

Obviously I just scoop out what I need for each portion, you don't reheat the whole lot every time...

I have before and I'm still alive, so I say go for it.

  Got to make sure that kidney beans are well cooked because they contain a toxin which is only broken down at a high temperature ...as long as they were well cooked first time round should be no problems.

Brilliant!! It was a top munch so i will go for seconds tomorrow.

If im not here for the next few days please dont cheer, i am sat on the toilet with bad guts.

Yeah reg is spot on. Kidney beans are dangerous first time round. If you survived the first batch you'll be fine with a reheat. As long as you heat it through properly like everything else.

I've got one of those food thingy certificates. I hope I'm not wrong.

It's rice which is dangerous. Got to be careful with rice.

Ive reheated Rice lots of times and not died.

Rice can contain the Lavrae of the Asian Brain Moth, which if eaten slowly burrows up your sinuses and round into your optical lobe. Once there it can stay dormant for years, until eventually when nearing maturity, digs its way out through your eyes.

Symptoms that you've got an Asian Brain Moth infestation are Tiredness, a general Apathy, and lack of concentration.

Oooh I deffo have that.

Its chips with the chili then. The rice is out the window.  :eatkf:

how does it find it's way to your sinuses?

I don't fucking know. I didn't go into that much depth when I was making it up. I'm not sure there's such a thing as an optical lobe either.

The real reason rice is dangerous is because the harmful things which live on it don't die when you boil it up. They turn into spores things and do a sort of hibernating thingy or something. That means the more times it's left at temperatures where the bad things can reproduce (basically not really cold or really hot) then the more risky it is.

It's pretty safe reheating rice as long as you cool it down quickly after you've cooked it the first time.

Something like that anyway. It's been over a year since I did my Food safety or whatever it's called course, and they didn't go into from a very sciency angle. I'm sure one of the forums many microbiologists can explain in better detail.

Rice is one of the top causes of food poisoning though.

we should play a Rice based Russian Roulette game.

I've heard that. Also, pineapple is one of the most common causes of the squits when on exotic holidays

Pineapples contain bromelain, which breaks down proteins.

Handling lots of pineapple chunks will remove your fingerprints.

I just watched The Deer Hunter, I'm not sure it would have been the same with rice.

chili con carne made with uncooked kidney beans instead of those from a can is much nicer.

Chillie con carne made with baked beans are the bestest

your mate is a raving spastic and so are you for asking

I habitually get a Chinese, leave the leftovers (rice included) on the side, and eat the lot when i get in from the pub... it's never harmed me.

1. I am reheating chilli tonight and always do.
2. I always reheat left over chinse takeaway rice.
3. Does anyone else re-heat pork (stirfry) my missus refuses to do so????

I've been known to put a half eaten kebab under the grill for a bit and have it for breakfast.

I think I read somewhere that  pork is the dodgiest meat to re-heat, but can't prove it.

i thought chicken was?

meh, whats with all this re-heating business? get it down your neck cold, food tastes better that way.

dominos i can understand though, the microwave magics it from a cold crusty stale lump of shit back to its former glory in only thirty seconds.

I've been known to eat a full Dominos combo meal cold the next morning, complete with pizza, garlic bread, wedges and chicken strippers.

The beans may go a bit mushy when you reheat them, but seeing as it's in a chilli anyway it shouldn't matter so much.

why didn't you eat any of the combo meal when you bought it?

do you ring around the takeaways on a saturday lunchtime to get them to deliver your weekly shop? extravagant, but i think we all dream of a life like that.

I am not sure I have ever had a Domino's Pizza.

We get Pizza Hut here but I am led to believe this is inferior.

My missus had already ordered and had it delivered. I was very pissed and was a bit ill and fell asleep without eating any of it so ate it the next morning.

It's one of the dodgiest to under-cook in the first place- tapeworms. Gravid proglottids can carried in pork which will then make you more hungry in the coming weeks.

Obviously you need to cook chicken well too Dave.

Did you ever find your precious?
