Can I Still Reheat My Holiday Ham? And Other Questions About Leftovers
Briefly

According to a representative from the USDA, when you reheat food, the safety clock 'resets' and it can last another 3 to 4 days. However, food must be reheated to 165°F to kill bacteria, which may lead to overcooking and deteriorating taste and texture with each reheating cycle.
You can use leftover bits of roast in a breakfast hash by cooking down chopped onion and leftover vegetables, adding par-boiled potatoes and meat pieces, seasoning and cooking until crispy, then topping with a fried egg.
While it is theoretically safe to freeze food multiple times, doing so isn’t recommended as thawing affects the food's cell structure, leading to mushiness and loss of flavor.
Use leftover charcuterie to experiment with mac and cheese, trying cheeses like Stilton and smoked gouda to create a rich, flavorful dish that makes use of the remaining ingredients.
