Cold Cut question
If I take my turkey put it on a plate and heat til steaming in the microwave, but then take the cold cuts and put it back in the fridge to cool, does that work? Or am I defeating the whole purpose of heating the turkey to kill any possible bacteria?
Reason why I am asking is because I would like to make my sandwich at home and bring it to work for lunch and I dont want to be heating up cold cuts at work. The microwave at work is

My dr actually told me to do that. Let it sizzle in the microwave to kill the bacteria and then put it back in the fridge.

Re: Cold Cut question
Yes, definitely. I usually heat them in the microwave right after I go food shopping and put them in the fridge and use them throughout the week. Heating them up will kill any bacteria, so cooling them down again won't make a difference.

Re: Cold Cut question
Yup I totally do this. . one thing that I have found helps A LOT to make them still taste like cold cuts and not like dried out nasty meat is to steam them with a little water while you are heating them in the microwave. . this way the meat stays more moist and it doesn't get that jerky texture!

Re: Cold Cut question
My doctor said I can get packaged cold cuts from the store that are not from a deli counter as long as they say they are "fully cooked" and pasteurized on the package. So I just buy my regular turkey I used to get before. I don't even heat it. Where I live there aren't really "reputable delis" like in NY so I can't really trust anywhere out.
I'd go with what your doc says. I know some people have said before their doctor says no commercially packaged cold cuts either.

Re: Cold Cut question
I ate turkey every day while pg. Never once did I heat it. Enjoy it. A few sandwiches are not going to hurt either of you. And besides hot COLD cuts are nasty.
