Speaker 1 Kevin is very quick to think negative things about people. Even when he talks about his best friend, he always tells you about his faults. And if somebody hasn’t got any faults, he invents them

Presenter

Let’s talk about leftover food now, Marilyn. Is it 

safe to reheat it?

Marilyn

Yes, reheating food is fine, as long as you heat 

it to 74ºC all the way through to kill the bacteria.

If you’re using a microwave, you should mix the 

food halfway through to ensure that there aren’t 

any cold spots that still have bacteria. And you 

have to be extra careful with rice. Rice has a 

bacteria which produces a toxin that is not 

destroyed by heat. Reheating the rice kills the 

bacteria, but it doesn’t remove the toxin. To 

reduce the risk of food poisoning, put cooked 

rice in the fridge as soon as possible after 

cooking, and reheat it only once.

Presenter

That all makes perfect sense, Marilyn. Thank 

you for joining us.
