10 Foods That Become Toxic When Reheated in a Microwave

Leftover potatoes

Spud fans, you might wanna think twice before putting your leftover potatoes in the microwave. That’s because they might make you sick faster than you could say “yummy”. The problem here does not lie in the reheating process but in the way you store the food.

If you keep cooked potatoes at room temperature for a longer period, you might unknowingly allow harmful bacteria responsible for botulism to grow and multiply. The multiplication process is actually sped up by putting a foil on the potatoes, presumably for protection.

Captain’s tip: Unless you’ve stored the potatoes in the fridge after serving them, don’t reheat them the following day and expect nothing bad to happen in return.
