If I cook up some food and decide to keep it to reheat later or tomorrow, why is it important where I store it? Eg it needs to be refrigerated. I get that bacteria will grow in the danger zones – so room temperature means bacteria will grow. But if I’m heating the food up doesn’t that kill the bacteria that would grow anyway? So why does it matter?

Bacteria poop.
Heat kills the bacteria but their poop remains.
The poop can make you sick.
