Best/Worst reheatable food

AskMyChocolate

Heh gang,

I woke up this morning and there was a burger sitting there. It's a ****e thing to have and is really difficult to heat up (bread goes hard, salad goes to mush).

Chicken curry is excellent and I've heard Boardsies post about how pizza is better the following day.

So, anyway, what's the best?

Just buy more food!!

Pizza is better the next day, but not reheated. It needs to be served cold, with garlic mayonaisse AND chilli sauce (mayo and black pepper if nothing else) and a can of coke. Banging hangover optional.

Anyway, any "pot" food seems so much nicer the next day. Curries, stews, goulash, random pot thing etc.

Absolute worst has to be a chipper. Burgers as OP said are mank, as are chips etc.

Just. Reheat. The. Meat. Simple.

Shepherd's Pie is nicer reheated than it is when freshly cooked. As is beef soup.

Burger - Microwave
Bun - Toaster
Salad - put on a plate and leave in freezer for ten minutes

Then just add ketchup. Why would you try and microwave the lot?

Cold pizza from the pizza place..om nom nom!

Curry is lovely the next day specially if your lazy like me self and just lash in it a roll or in between two slices of toast

Pizza sometimes has the tendency to go like a brick.

Battered Sausage is lovely reheated, it gets all crispy and yum!:)

Worst reheated food has to be pizza, it's much nicer eaten cold the following day.:pac:

Gotta love leftover Chinese! Tis always great the next day especially considering i can never finish a full portion myself these days

Lasagne or a stew is nice reheated.

Chuchoter

Not exactly reheatable but you do put it in the microwave! M&S mashed potato is the best thing ever. Other than that cold pizza nearly tastes better reheated.

metalfest

lasagna reheated is savage..
as is cold pizza...
with a cold can of coke and a fag..

TPD

Cold pizza is a great hangover food, but there's a catch: to be hungover enough to appreciate it, you need to have been drunk enough to not leave any pizza uneaten the night before.

In terms of reheatables, I like reheated spaghetti and meatballs, covered in cheese.

Agree with that.
And, am I the only one that can't stand cold pizza?! Not that good reheated either

JupiterKid

I find lasagne to be better reheated than fresh out of the oven. Shepherds pie/Cottage pie is nice reheated too. Fast food just can't be reheated. Pizza possibly being the exception.

reheating popcorn is pretty bad.

Once it's popped, you have to stop.

SS, are you an expert on reheated food?:pac:

I regularly make a huge fcuk-off curry (alternating between prawn jalfrezi, beef madras, or some variety of thai green curry) and freeze 5 or 6 portions in those individual curry boxes you can buy in the supermarket. Means you can take advantage of bulk buying even when you're living on your own.

And it always tastes better 3rd, 4th or 5th time round :pac:

Pizza is not one of those foods.

+1 for the Spag Bol...seem to be livin on it lately. I almost look forward to the 2nd/3rd round of it cos the garlic i put in it(loads) tastes the business.

Homemade soups get better too. Chippers,chinese etc should always be eaten cold the 2nd time.

I'm heterosexual myself, but if there's a cold can of coke on the table I'd be willing to reconsider.:)

Spaghetti bolognes is better reheated, when the pasta is a bit drier, it just tastes better..

Pizza is great the next morning, but come on, it's whopper when it's straight into your gob from dominos..

I'd imagine you could go as far as to remove the "almost" in that spoiler too!

Beef Bourguignon tastes much better the next day when you re-heat it, as do most beef stews really.

I have beef bourguignon at home waiting for me tonight and am going to have it with lots of toast. Yum! All I need to complete the nyommage is Kerrygold butter but you can't get that in NZ and NZ butter tastes like ****e.

That's not toast, that's hot, floppy bread :P

I find that beans reheated the next day on toast are great, I guess it's because there's not much sauce left the next day making it a lot less messy.

As long as you reheat something properly and not just toss it in the microwave and hope for the best, it usually turns out just as good, and if you need to reheat leftovers you're not exactly in a position to be too picky :P

Mumsie Poo used to have a thing of putting left-over potatoes from the dinner into the microwave.

Fùckin' rank, you had peel already peeled potatoes again Cardboard tasted better.

Standard Toaster

Any food that doesn't have dircections for a microwave. It's soooo experimental.

Also most Brätwurst and Sauerkraut. Nicht sur guht!!

.SONIC.

pizza is lovely when reheated in the morning!!!

but nothing beats fresh pizza!!

Interestingly enough if you re-heat an already-microwaved microwave dinner in the microwave the next day the microwaves have the reverse effect and you'll actually be unmicrowaving it. This is known as 'the uncrowaving effect' and was briefly popular in the early 90's when microwaves, microwave cooking and microwave parties were at their peak. Uncrowaving however can be potentially harmful to a microwave as the shielding that keeps the microwaves inside a microwave oven are penetrated by uncrowaves and this can lead to microwave leakage if it's done too often in the one microwave. So, if you want to try uncrowaving the best thing to do is to rotate your attempts between different microwaves so the microwave shielding isn't depleted and microwaves aren't escaping from your microwave leading to microwave poisoning.



























Are you sick of the word microwave yet?

I'm hungry. Somebody feed me.

Kind of shocked nobody has said chinese... I love chinese food reheated the next day. Especially the rice or noodles.
