Reheating food

[r0dxx]

I got a serious question...Tonight I had Mahi Mahi (4oz fillet) left over from last night, and I through it in the microwave wrapped up in plastic wrap, cause it usually explodes if you don't. I put it in for 1 minute since it was a small piece, and ate it. Some of it was hot, but some of the inside was like room temperature and not soo hot.

My mom said I can get sick by eating it like this, is this true? She's getting me all worried now!

The fish shouldnt be too bad but microwaving plastic can add toxins to your food.

As long as the fish was cooked properly the first time and refridgerated well overnight then you don't have to worry.


However - I would agree with the comment re microwaving plastic wrap - unless it was designed for it you are better off putting the fish in a microwave-proof dish and covering it with some paper towel.

ive cooked so many things under the glorious paper towels, and it usually picks up any sort of spatter youll get... uncluding fish i have warmed up

paper towell or even a tea-towel would do the trick

I bet your kitchen smelled great. Like everyone else says, a paper towel will work better next time.
