⬇️ Why you need to stop... ❗️Defrosting food at room temperature is a bad idea because it allows bad (pathogenic) bacteria to develop, which can cause food poisoning. 🦠 Whilst bacteria will be killed by cooking, spores can be left behind which release toxins (which cannot be destroyed by heat) ⏳ Food poisoning symptoms don’t always happen immediately, so people will often blame their illness on other factors 🤢 whilst vomiting and diarrhoea are common symptoms, symptoms can also include stomach

There’s a difference between defrosting and reheating food. 📣 Once leftovers from the freezer have been safely defrosted they can be reheated in the microwave. Make sure it’s in a microwave safe container, cover, reheat on the correct setting, stir thoroughly, heat until piping hot. 🔥 Remember, defrosted food should only be reheated once!
