3 Ways To Reheat sautéed stir-fried and steamed
One-pan, one-pot dishes are super easy to make, but they’re also super easy to reheat. Casseroles are included in this category as well.
One-pan and one-pot dishes are extremely simple to prepare. They’re also easy to reheat, which is a bonus. Even though they’re cooked, casseroles are included in this category.
1. Microwave
Microwave meal reheating is both a science and an art. The simplest way to do this is to spread the food out evenly and cover it with a moist (not dry) paper towel.
You may also spritz the dish with water before placing it in the oven. This produces steam throughout the warming process, preventing the food from drying out.
It’s also a good idea to mix it every now and then to ensure that it reheats evenly.
Keep in mind that if you’re preparing many types of food at the same time, you may want to microwave them for various amounts of time.
Because reheating a piece of chicken or fish takes longer than reheating vegetables, you may want to add the vegetables last to avoid overcooking them. If you’re too sluggish to do so, stir the mixture halfway during the microwaving process.
2. Oven
You can’t reheat stir-fries or anything sautéed or steamed in the oven, but you can reheat casseroles. Keep the heat low, approximately 200-250 degrees, for the foods listed above.
To keep the dish wet and fresh, cover with foil or an oven-safe lid until the last few minutes. Vegetables don’t take as long to heat in the oven as meat, so check after 10 minutes to see whether they’re ready.
3. Stove
Reheating a stir-fry meal or other sautéed vegetables on the burner is another fantastic option. To avoid overcooking, drizzle in some oil and reheat the meal over low to medium heat. You’ll want to stir regularly to ensure equal heating.
