re-heating fish

[janoel]

Yesterday I treated myself to a Haddock Mornay from M & S. I left half of it as it was a bit too much for me.
Although it states clearly "Do not reheat" I think I might try it in the microwave today - can anyone tell me if this will be OK?
I cannot face eating cold fish and cold sauce.
Thanks in advance.

I think it's probably more to do with the state the fish will be in after two heatings than anything else - especially if you heated it up properly yesterday, at the right temp and for the correct time. If you cooled it down quickly after heating yesterday, and it's been covered in the fridge since then, it would probably not kill you if you reheat and eat, but double nuked fish? Not for me, ta!

Well did you????????

Don't play "The Last Post" just yet Alibobs !!

janoel, might not be the one nuked!

I know that a lot of times, if you reheat recipe dishes etc it can impair the flavour, as microwaving dries out foods.
Booldawg asked a Q yesterday on re-cooking (but different circumstances), and there was a mix of differing opinions!

Dear All
Thank you for your replies and advice. Yes, I did nuke it and eat it. I am still here the next morning. To me it tasted the same as yesterday but the sauce had dried up a bit and therefore wasn't as nice as before. I had kept it covered in the fridge until the next day and it had been properly cooked in the oven the evening before.

Glad you're alive & well!!

Thanks Alibobs.

Any food, whether frozen, chilled or fresh can be reheated providing you cool it, quite quickly, then popping in in the fridge. As long as you bring the food to a high heat and cook it for a couple of minutes, you should live.
As one of your replies said, it's mostly to do with the look and texture of the food, which aome people wouldn't like to eat.

Dear Brownlow
Thanks for your answer. I guess the manufacturers are playing safe when they say "Do not reheat". One thing I would like to query is how do you cool something down quickly. Obviously you cannot resort to the fridge as you shouldn't put anything warm in there. Any suggestions?
