How can you make enough chicken breast to last the week if you can't reheat it?

If you let your food cool to room temp before refrigeration it will not give you food poisoning. Cooked meat is safe to eat if refrigerated for at least 3 days

You can reheat chicken. Not sure wtf you are talking about.

So reheating food gives you food poisoning?
News to me.

Never once have I gotten food poisoning from reheating meat. Definitely have never waited 3 days to reheat again also.

Same.

A week is stretching it though.

The trick is to make a dish with lots of sauce so you can freeze and then nuke without making the chicken too dry.

OP never heard of a freezer.

Everyone says you should never reheat meat in microwave or you will get diarrhea, stomach cramps etc

You can't be that naive and/or gullible....can you?
What idiots told you that?
Who is "everyone"?

At worst it will dry out the chicken a bit....maybe.
Nuke it in a microwave safe container and it's stays pretty decent.

Why use a microwave? Just defrost and heat the chicken gently in the sauce on the stovetop until piping hot (with the lid on). There's nothing a microwave does that conventional methods don't do rather better.

ya i reheat over the stove. I avoid the microwave as much as possible.

So if i make say 5 tubs of chicken breast and broccoli on Monday then on Friday i reheat a tub that i made on Monday it will be perfectly fine and will not give me food poisoning?

If you nuke it sufficiently you can eat anything without getting sick. 2 week old chicken might not taste good but you won't get sick. High temp nuking kills the germs.

What about Tuna/Salmon/fish? Save to reheat days later after i made it?

I reheat food all the time, including chicken, and never had food poisoning.

Quoting OP:

Everyone says you should never reheat meat in microwave or you will get diarrhea, stomach cramps etc


Ummmm.... I don't own a microwave, yet somehow I manage to serve hot leftover chicken. Must be alien technology.

what is a tub?

Yes, you will be fine...

...because rarely do you find office environments with stoves to use, but every single one has a microwave.

duh?

keep it in a crockpot all week just never stop cooking

Why not freeze 2 or 3 of the tubs and keep the rest in the fridge?
It's not complicated.

You are making a mountain out of a molehill.

yuh, if you let it cool and freeze it. also raw chicken carries a lot of bacteria so, use a separate chopping board and knife, or clean same with very hot water...like if chicken is your main protein watch a food handling and hygiene video about handling raw chicken.

Buy the most fresh meat you want. Cook in pressure cooker. Remove from stove. Place under cold running water to cool down.
Cut your meat in portions, best in slices about 1.5/2 cm, froze them right away.

It will defreeze in few minutes.

Step 1) Throw out all animal related products

Step 2) In a manner that is entirely unrelated to the first step, stop suffering from mankind's most common, preventable illnesses.

Step 3) Realise you don't need to be looking for nutrition advice on GLP

Pfft.....Nazi vegans.

simple, cook it in something air tight. like a sealed bag or can.

or just cook the chicken, cover or airtight in the fridge at most 3 deg c.

should be fine two weeks later, as in it's not even going to come close to poisoning you.

what causes poisoning is cross contamination.

don't touch the cooked food with unwashed hands.

I'm confused...Why can't you reheat it? For fear of food poisoning?
Never use a microwave, it's a shitty convenience, but if you do, put some water on it to keep it moist...will basically steam it.

If you can't reheat: take it from fridge and let it warm up at room temp until you're ready to eat it.

We buy rotisserie chicks at Whole Foods, eat some, then put the rest of the bag in the microwave to store for the next day and eat at room temp...After that we'll toss any leftovers in fridge.

You should have no problem storing cooked chicken (and broccoli, or pretty much anything similar) in the fridge for at least a week if it's well sealed without issues.

Personally I don't mind eating cold food and so usually avoid heating...But if I do it's in the oven.

It's called chicken salad.chicken, onion,finely chopped celery, mayo or miracle whip (your preference) a little garlic salt and dill pickle relish. Will keep for two weeks in fridge and wonderful on bread or toast. Add lettuce for a healthy meal. Problem solved.

That's BS...

I reheat in microwave all the time....

If you get diarrhea or cramps, then the food was not cooked sufficiently to begin with....
