Do you like food after it’s been put in the microwave from being in the refrigerator?

Depends on the food, leftover rice works great, add a touch of water and cover with a wet paper towel and it’s better than the first run. If you actually learn what foods work and what doesn’t it’s a useful tool... I’d rather eat pizza cold.

Depends on the food but most of the time I'm just glad I don't have to cook

i don't have any problem with most foods being reheated in the microwave, if its like a pork chop or chicken, i might cook it at a lower power so it doesnt get overdone, and i don't care for some kinds of potato reheated, fries, tots, fried potatoes i will eat, but i like them better fresh. i don't care for most foods being cooked in the microwave tho, like the main show and all. maybe some steamed veggies, but thats about it, i like microwaves for reheating, not cooking.

Sometimes. I like Asian rice dishes reheated but I'll eat my pizza cold rather than microwave it.

Sigh...another guy I thought would be great for me ruined by cold pizza

@LadyAlyxandrea I have a strong dislike for cold pizza

There's a trick to it. Put a shot glass of water in the corner, it magically prevents the crust from getting chewy.

It's a matter of convenience

I like food? 😛

Everything seems to lose most of it's flavor when zapped.

Depends on the food I guess.

lasagna,pizza, fried rice are all yumo

I reckon chilli tastes better after it's been chilled and zapped. More depth of flavour. Not anything that's supposed to be crispy, though.

2

yep, I am a maestro of the microwave.

2

Not really.

It depends on what it is.

I do and some things are fine but I hate wasting food and I live on my own so what am I going to do?

Just a side point: cold pizza. I saw a recipe of putting some olive oil in a pan and frying them until crispy. Haven't tried it, but sounds like an idea. I cook once or twice a week, put leftovers in the 'frig. Cover all food being reheated with some type of type. If it's meat add a dash of water to the mix -- it brings back a lot of flavor.

No YUK

No, I eat the food cold

I loathe and detest microwaves so I don't have one. I don't like the way it changes the food (consistency and taste). And I'm still not convinced that they are totally safe. I like the term 'nuker-wave', thanks ChrisSearle82 for that.

Noooo !! Fresh for me and no mircowave usually !!

1

It certainly doesn't taste as nice

1

Depends on the foood... some yes, some no. Most of the time, I'd rather go hungry if it isn't fresh.

I keep reading articles and their rebuttals...over microwaves altering the chemical compsitions of food. Microwaves have their place...but fried foods never keep well no matter how you reheat them. I usually use mine for melting things, boiling water and defrosting....

1

I cook for one but it is inefficient to cook for one so I usually cook by batch. Then I microwave left overs as needed so food is not wasted. Microwave is essentially just warming food already prepared.

Anything except French fries...chili sometimes tastes better reheated to me.

I was just reading about how pasta is better for you if cooled and reheated. the molecular structure changes and it acts more like fiber in your digestive system. [bbc.com]
