Beware of these foods when reheating! Choices that can be dangerous

4. Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum)
Cooked potatoes left to cool at room temperature can be dangerous, as Clostridium botulinum can grow and produce toxins that cause botulism, a serious illness affecting the nervous system. Reheating potatoes does not always eliminate this toxin.

Tip: Store cooked potatoes in the refrigerator and heat them in a pan or oven to ensure they heat evenly.

5. Fish (various species)
Reheating fish not only affects its texture and flavor, making it dry, but can also increase the risk of food poisoning if not stored properly. Bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes can grow in improperly refrigerated fish.

Tip: Avoid reheating fish in the microwave. Use the oven or a frying pan for more even heating.

6. Eggs (Gallus gallus domesticus)
Cooked eggs can be dangerous when reheated, as their proteins can become toxic and cause digestive problems. Also, microwaving can create a buildup of steam inside the egg, which could cause it to explode if not handled properly.

Tip: Reheat eggs in a frying pan and over low heat to avoid accidents and health problems.
