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.
7. Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus and other species)
Cooked mushrooms are another food that can be dangerous when reheated. The proteins in mushrooms can break down quickly if left at room temperature, which not only affects their flavor but can also cause digestive problems, such as stomach pain or bloating. Also, if not refrigerated properly, they can grow bacteria.
Tip: Refrigerate cooked mushrooms as soon as possible and if you decide to reheat them, do so at a low, consistent temperature to avoid problems.
8. Sauces and stews with cream or milk
Sauces or stews that contain dairy products, such as cream or milk, can separate when reheated, which not only affects their texture, but can also create an environment conducive to the development of bacteria if not properly refrigerated. Creams often coagulate and sauces can lose their creamy consistency when reheated.
Tip: When reheating these dishes, do so over low heat and stirring constantly to prevent the milk or cream from separating.
