DEFINITIONThe word ‘rechauffe’ means reheated and it is applied to cooked food left from a previous meal. Since left-over foods had been cooked initially, further heating can destroy the nutrients and therefore impair the nutritive quality of the food. For example, the protein in the food may be hardened by further heating, thereby toughening the fibres and hardening the proteins, hence reducing their digestibility.
