Detailed explanation-1: -There’s an increased risk of food poisoning BBC Good Food advises that you shouldn’t reheat food more than once because repeatedly changing temperatures provide more opportunities for bacteria to grow and cause food poisoning.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is safe to reheat frozen leftovers without thawing, either in a saucepan or microwave (in the case of a soup or stew) or in the oven or microwave (for example, casseroles and combination meals). Reheating will take longer than if the food is thawed first, but it is safe to do when time is short.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the contaminated food is kept within the temperature danger zone for an extended period, Staphylococcus aureus will grow and produce toxins. Subsequent reheating will destroy the bacteria but not the toxins.
