According to an article published by the BBC website, food poisoning is usually caused by bacteria that contaminated their food and is called camplylobacter.This bacterium can survive two hours on the surface of the kitchen, this indicates that it can spread quickly in other foods, and only a small dose is enough to make the whole family sick. To kill the bacteria, you need to expose the food to heat, which is why cooking is important, especially chicken that, given its texture, allows the bacteria to be present throughout its meat, according to the article.
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT

At the time you should reheat the food you should first let the food cool at room temperature for about four hours, before putting it in the refrigerator, since if you put it hot on it will make it the perfect incubator for the bacteria.

Cover what is left of the food, store it in the refrigerator and then reheat. Of course, do not abuse reheating, because according to the Food Standards Agency of the United Kingdom (FSA) it is advisable to do it only once, although you can do several, as long as you do it correctly, but rest assured that you will lose flavor and the vitamins in food.

Secret

"The secret to reheating to do it evenly Many of us use the microwave to do it, but this has a problem: many other parts that leave more cold spaces where the bacteria can counteract," says the web portal.Before this, it is necessary, that when removing the food from the refrigerator and introduced in the microwave, first stir and put back to warm up to 60 degrees Celsius everywhere.

BEWARE OF RICE

One of the foods with which we must be particularly cautious, at the time of reheating, is rice.
It becomes dangerous because the rice may be contaminated with another bacterium called Bacillus cereus, which dies, also when exposed to heat sources, but sometimes produces spores that are not only toxic, but also surprisingly resistant.
When an overheated disease occurs it can cause the "Chinese restaurant syndrome", so called after many people became ill with vomiting and diarrhea in the late 1960s after frequenting Chinese restaurants where rice was kept in buffets at room temperature for hours.

As we have seen it is necessary to have some precautions when eating overheated food that can be harmful to our health.
