What's the best way to reheat curry?
The stovetop gives the best result: about 8 minutes, aiming for a moist finish. Coconut-milk curries split at a hard boil. Keep it at a gentle simmer and stir.
How long does curry last in the fridge?
Curry keeps about 3 days refrigerated at or below 40°F in an airtight container. When reheating, bring it to 165°F internal.
Can you reheat curry more than once?
USDA guidance allows reheating to 165°F each time, but quality drops every round trip. Reheat only what you'll eat.
