    Yeah dude… If you’re reheating leftovers on full blast, you’ve been making everything worse. Microwaves aren’t perfect, but you can def finesse it a bit, and it makes a huge difference.

    Try doing 80% for reheating. Also, stir occasionally (for stirrable foods), and pause to rotate the plate occasionally as well. Even if it’s already on a carousel.

        I heated up a leftover chicken breast the other night, and felt as though that was a perfect example of something that needs to be reheated at a lower power level. If you’ve ever had leftover chicken from the microwave that was chewy or tough, there’s a good chance it was that (unless it was tough to begin with).

        Try using 80% heat (power level 8) next time you have to re-heat up a thick piece of chicken. It really is a game changer.

          I just thought microwave chicken was terrible. I didn’t know there was a way to make it better

        I mean it really depends on what you’re heating up as to how much better it is. Some things it doesn’t matter as much.
