Detailed explanation-1: -Aim for an internal temperature of 75 °C or hotter when you cook food. Heating foods to this temperature kills most food poisoning bacteria. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of foods during the cooking process.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is good practice to reheat all food rapidly to at least 70ºC and hold it at that temperature or hotter for at least 2 minutes.

Detailed explanation-3: -*All parts of the food must reach a temperature of at least 165°F for 15 seconds. Reheating must be done rapidly, within 2 hours after being removed from refrigeration. Foods reheated in a microwave oven must be reheated so that all parts of the food reach a temperature of at least 165°F.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are no limits to how many times you can safely reheat leftover home-cooked meals. However, best practice is to limit the number of times you do so. More often than not, you wouldn’t need to reheat one type of dish more than once.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reheating leftovers Reheat leftovers to a safe internal temperature of 74ºC (165ºF). Use a digital food thermometer to check the temperature.
