reheating a homemade chicken pie

[whackbangdeadly]

Morning.

Made a chicken pie last night with fresh chicken pieces. It was too big.

Allowed it to cool, stuck it in the fridge.

Want to eat it for lunch - what's the skinny on reheating it? Safe? How long? What temp? etc

I am loathe to waste it.

Thanks

WBD

Safe without some very bad luck.

I'd use a low heat to make sure it can heat all the way through without burning. Gas mark 3 or 4?

 

[whackbangdeadly]

cheers,

I was thinking the same on the temperature

oven on

 

[Frances Lengel]

As above. It'll be right as long as you make sure it's heated all the way through.

 

[whackbangdeadly]

cheers, both


I thought it probably would be

I just wanted someone else to blame should I get the trots/squits/immediate pie related death

Pies are nice cold fwiw

Have some reheated rice on the side

I have just had another reheated chicken pie that was made at home yesterday.

I had to come on here and search for this thread to see what you all said last time

Have you considered making smaller pies?

This is a one pie dish household and will remain so.

Totally safe... Bang it in the oven until it's heated through and get it down ya.

Pasties then.

This is my problem too.
It's too big for the ready made pastry (so I have to roll it extra thin) and it's too big for us both to finish in one go

But it is a beautiful Le Cruset one I got for £5 in a sale so I forgive it.

 

[lizzieloo]

I forgive it.

That made me do an IRL titter

Did you die last time? If not you're ok. If the chicken is cooked proper when you make the pie, you're safe but don't ever rinse raw chicken under the tap, it spreads chicken ebola everywhere.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

The instructions on ready-made pies recommend 20 minutes at Gas Mark 4 and refer to serving it "piping hot", that seems to be the industry standard phrase. The same will do for your home-made pie.

Unless you use fairy liquid

WBD checks thread again as he is reheating a portion of a chicken pie.
He should really write this down and stick it to the fridge.
Or print this thread out?
Yum. Chicken Pie!

As you were...

75 degrees for 3 minutes

It's a chicken pie. Bung it in the microwave until there aren't any cold bits.

 

[whackbangdeadly]

But that would feck up the lovely crisp flaky pastry on the top - it is now in the oven - I am salivating

Those two are related by the way

 

[bi0boy]

Well i hope you don't die.

 

[whackbangdeadly]

As I am ignoring mr steev, I won't

You pie-abusing consumer-sickening MONSTER that is no way to treat a proper pie

 

[dolly's gal]

is this actually a real thing that people worry about? heating up (cooked) chicken pie?

 

[Orang Utan]

I think it definitely will kill you after 2 years in the fridge

I was just stating what 'piping hot' actually means

A cooked chicken pie is pretty low risk, as long as it was cooked properly in the first place and not left standing uncovered for ages.
