Is it OK to reheat a leftover food several times?

He is putting everyone at risk of food poisioning. Reheating food more then once is not good. You lose the nutrients in the food and some bacteria are not easily killed while others developed during the reheating especially when reheating it at a wrong temperature. The food would taste awful when reheated several times, it'll be overcooked! \n\nLeft over milk, especially milk that contian traces of saliva should be thrown out immidiately. If your husband finds it a waste then he can finish baby's milk. Baby's are vulnerable to food poisioning. Why take the risk of dealing with a sick baby?

No matter how much you have, there is always too much food!! At my thanksgivings it's never a surprise to give every guest a tupperware container filled with every dish that was served lol. Thats what's excellent about thanksgiving; the leftovers taste excellent until like, January :) so I guess in answer to your question, It's both enough and too much. Yay leftovers!

Not if you ask first.  Some stores reuse them and some don't.  There are some business that pay to ahave them hauled off.  Just ask.

Toss it in the microwave for 30 seconds.  The end will peel up a bit.

no, you shouldn't because the food would have incalcuable amounts of bacteria on it, and this could make the child sick.

You should have let your idea continue baking, at least three more hours at 450 degrees.  It still may come out undercooked but at least you should be able to convey a coherent thought using complete sentences.

Yes, we did that one year. The food was OK, some of it was very good. It did NOT taste the same as our traditional family meal. If a family tragedy is preventing cooking the meal, I would take the leap of faith and order the meal. The most important thing is to be together and lend each other your support. I hope your Thanksgiving will be a loving and healing time and that it will bring your family closer to each other, and that the coming year will be better for all of you.

Check your fridge or pantry for anything moldy.  Onions, potatoes, bread, oranges, look inside any open jars of food that might be tucked in the back of the fridge and forgotten.  10 hours isn't a lot of time, I'd try putting a piece of moist bread in plastic and keeping it in a moist warm place.  You could also go to a grocery store and ask the people who work in produce if they already have anything in the trash bin thats started to mold.

When in doubt, throw it out.  Food poisoning won't help your situation.

Yeah, when got my first apartment and there were no microwaves back then, I would just heat whatever I was going to eat right there in the can.  Ya gotta make sure you take off the paper wrapper or the whole thing could go up in flames.  I'd heat up Spaghetti-os, any type of canned veggies, or the best thing was to heat up canned chili and pour it over tortilla chips and add grated cheese (nachos).  When I was REAL lazy, I'd just eat tuna outta the can with mayo on crackers. YUM!

The best thing you can do is to support your friend that way they can help support their friend in this time of need. If you are decent at cooking wait for a week then take over a couple of easy to reheat but nutritious food dishes. It is usually for the first week that people help out then they stop. Also if there are any young children involved then getting them a small durable toy will also help since it will help them be distracted and be something for them to remember later in life.

On the leftover food crumbs when the atmospheric temperature is humid.

It depends on the food and how long it's left out. It will not rotten in the next 5 minutes, it may in a few hours. If the food has spices or salt it may last longer b/c it will be able to fight off the bacteria.  THis is way too general of a question.

Would you follow the ten second rule in a restaurant?  I guess it depends on how hungry you are to decide whether or not you want to try and eat food off of a floor.  If it was at my mother-in-laws who is ocd with cleaning you could follow a two hour rule there, although I am sure she would have "cleaned it up" before then.
