Oil: Repeated use of oil to fry food at high temperatures will cause the oil to oxidize to create unhealthy substances and also cause cancer. Under the effect of high temperatures will cause chemical reactions, producing aldehydes, oxidants, perocides … all very harmful to the body.
Potatoes: Not all potato dishes have reheating issues. It depends on how you store them after cooking them. The potato is an ideal medium for the growth of Clostridium botulinum (poisonous bacteria). If you let them come out at room temperature and don’t cool them down quickly, it will allow bacteria to grow.
Rice can be dangerous when heated or reused, as bacteria can multiply if rice is stored improperly or for too long. Reheating rice increases the risk of food poisoning.
Chicken is an ideal environment for the growth of E-coli and Salmonella bacteria which cause diarrhea and food poisoning. Chicken dishes can be reheated if they are properly cooked and stored.
