That's exactly what I do. If I'm going to reheat something, no, I won't put
it back into the container of cold food, but if I just want a bite or two of
something and I don't care if it's cold, I'll pull out a fork, take a couple
of bites and put the container back in the fridge. It's only MY germs. I
don't care.
