The infographic below comes from self-improvement blog Happy To Survive. It contains detailed advice on reheating previously cooked food with equal emphasis on food safety and tastiness. There are also some effective cooling tips for when you want to store cooked food immediately. (We’re not sure about adding ice cubes to soups though; surely that would dilute the taste and texture?)
