What are the best and worst foods to reheat in the microwave? I just discovered that using the microwave for frozen cream cheese-stuffed mini peppers is a definite no-go.

    Great tip about the cream cheese-stuffed mini peppers! Microwaves can be pretty hit or miss when it comes to reheating food.

    Best things to reheat in a microwave:
    1. Leftover rice and grains: They heat evenly and just need a splash of water to keep them from drying out.
    2. Soups and stews: These generally reheat well and maintain their flavors.
    3. Leftover pizza: A quick zap can revive it, but a dry paper towel under it can help keep the crust crispy.
    4. Vegetables: Most can be reheated quickly without losing too much texture.

    Worst things to reheat in a microwave:
    1. Cream cheese-stuffed items: Like your mini peppers, these can heat unevenly and turn rubbery or explode.
    2. Eggs: Reheating cooked eggs often leads to a tough and rubbery texture.
    3. Bread products: It tends to get soggy or chewy instead of staying fluffy.
    4. Fish: The smell can be off-putting, and the texture just doesn’t hold up well.

    Everyone has their own experiences, but it’s all about finding what works best for you! What’s your favorite food to reheat?
