Old kitchen wisdom says that you shouldn't reheat mushrooms and spinach again.

Is that true or is this advice out of date?

You hear it again and again: “Mushrooms * cannot be reheated under any circumstances.” And “Spinach must not be reheated.” Is that true?

Now you will find out the surprising truth: These foods can be stored very well, reheated the next day and consumed.

rules

!

Store leftover spinach and mushrooms - quickly in the refrigerator

It is important that you

let

the

remains of mushroom dishes or spinach

cool down quickly; if necessary, put them in a bath with ice water.

Then store the dish covered or in a sealed container in the refrigerator at an optimal temperature of 2 to 4 ° C.

If you then

prepare

the dish again

Reheating spinach and mushrooms - you have to pay attention to this

But

you should also observe an important rule

when

heating

: it is essential that you heat the dishes at a

minimum temperature of 70 ° C

for at least two minutes. This is the only way to kill microorganisms. It's also important to know that reheated spinach is taboo for babies and children under three years of age. The vegetables are rich in nitrate, which can turn into nitrite when heated. This can be life-threatening for small children. However, once again heated spinach is safe for adults.

The claims that these ingredients cannot be stored and reheated go back to times when there were no refrigerators and leftover food was stored on the warm basement stairs, such as the initiative “Too good for the bin!”

of the Federal Ministry of Food declared.

storage in the refrigerator
