Did you have guests last night and have a lot of food left? Remember - some food must not be reheated as this can cause food poisoning.
Mushrooms
You cooked soup or fried mushrooms and potatoes, you cannot reheat them. And although the appearance of the product will not change, after heating in the microwave, the structure of proteins may change, and the taste, too, will not remain in the product and useful properties. Protein changes can lead to stomach upset.
Therefore, it is better to eat them cold.
Eggs
Eggs also contain proteins that change structure after heating. Therefore, it is not recommended to heat dishes based on them - this can harm the digestive system.
Yes, heating food will not necessarily make the dish poisonous, but it will definitely harm your digestive system, and the taste of the product will seem rubbery. Especially if eggs are an additional component of the dish. But it's definitely better not to heat an omelet or boiled eggs.
Rice
What could be safer than a plate of rice? But yes, this dish can lead to poisoning, it only depends on how it was originally prepared.
For example, if you do not rinse the rice, bacteria spores remain in it. And boiling water will not kill them. As a result, after the rice has cooled down, bacteria begin to multiply rapidly. And the heating process in a microwave oven will only speed up this process.
And remember - the longer the rice is at room temperature, the more bacteria it contains. This can result in nausea and diarrhea.
Breast milk and infant formula
Mom and Dad, remember - cow's milk can be heated, but breast milk can not. Some moms express their milk and store it in the freezer just in case.
But it is important to remember that it cannot be heated in a microwave. There are several reasons:
- The milk heats up unevenly, which can burn the baby.
- Carcinogens can enter milk from plastic when heated.
It is best to defrost the food in a saucepan or place it in a container of hot water.
Chicken and semi-finished meat products
Here the situation is the same as with eggs - the proteins in the chicken change their structure after heating. Moreover, this happens with any meat, but chicken is more dangerous than, for example, beef.
If you need to reheat the product, then you need to set the minimum mode in the microwave - even if the process is slower, but it is safer.
There are various preservatives in semi-finished meat products - they are added to keep the products stored longer. As a result, oxidized cholesterol is formed after heating. Scientists report - oxidation of cholesterol can lead to coronary heart disease.
Potato
Have you ever had to bring it in from a restaurant? If you decide to grab some leftover fries in the morning, it's best to eat them cold.
A similar problem can be avoided if, after cooking, immediately put the potatoes in the refrigerator, nothing will happen. But if the dish stays at room temperature for a long time, botulism pathogens may appear in the project.
Celery, spinach, beets
What do these products have in common? They should not be heated, as these products contain nitrates. After heating, they are converted to carcinogenic nitrites.
These substances prevent the hemoglobin of the blood from distributing oxygen within the body. And nitrites are very dangerous for babies - they can cause blue baby syndrome.
