    Yes, it's a bit early to be asking most of the folks
    here, but we do have east coasters who are probably
    thinking about dinner plans at this time.

    Here, it will be giant pot of highly seasoned meat
    sauce and spaghetti.  I just washed a bunch of
    mushrooms that will join the party in the pot.
    This pot will be large enough to generously share

    slices of garlic bread, too.


    My wife is going to have sole fillets. I am not crazy about sole so I
    am going to have some pergoies and maybe a bowl of chicken soup.

    We commoners often do that, your Majesty. We eat leftovers even if they
    are not 100% perfect. Some because they can't afford to waste food, but
    also some that refuse to waste, even if they are fairly well off.

    I do realize your your Majesty never needs to eat less than the very
    finest foods. That is as it should be.

    I reheat it in the air fryer, 10 minutes at 285. I'd rate it
    "acceptable" not as good as right off the grill. It was warmed, but not further cooked. By comparison, microwave heated sucks.

    There's a big difference between reheating leftovers, and premeditatedly cooking ahead with the intention of having leftovers.

    I do that often. If I make breaded pork chops, it it just as easy to
    make two as it is one. Baked potato is another one.

    One should *never* cook meat in a microwave, nor even reheat it in one.


    You can if you know how. Not steak, but plenty of others are easily
    reheated using the proper power settings.

    Back in the 1980s an appliance store had microwave cooking classes. We
    did a roast, cooked to medium. It was excellent.

    I purposefully cook some things with an eye towards leftovers. However,
    it's usually something that reheats beautifully in a microwave. Pork
    chops or swiss steak in gravy; mashed potatoes. Soups, quiche. Baked
    potatoes are a different story. I prefer the skin to be crisp & salted,
    so if I don't plan to use the leftover baked potatoes later for soup I
    do reheat those in the small air fryer I acquired. Prior to having one
    of those, I'd reheat baked potatoes in the oven, low heat.

    Back in the 1980s an appliance store had microwave cooking classes.  We
    did a roast, cooked to medium. It was excellent.

    Back in the 1980's, microwaves had functionality than the ones these
    days. I had one that came with a probe thermometer for cooking meats to temperature, rather than trying to figure out cook time and power
    levels. It automatically adjusted the power settings based on the
    desired internal temperature. So yes, you could use one to cook a roast. :)

    I made microwave lasagna in it that was fantastic. Didn't have to cook
    the noodles ahead of time (this was in the days before "no-cook" lasagna noodles existed, which, BTW, I've never tried.) There was enough liquid
    in the sauce to cook the noodles in the covered glass 13X9 baking dish.
    That doesn't work with microwaves these days because it seems they all
    have smaller inside space and turntables. They're designed for people
    to reheat a plate of food. Not for actual cooking. I still wouldn't
    reheat a steak in it, but it likely can be done.

    Yes, our first one had the probe. It was very handy.
    I suspect price is more important than function to many buyers, They
    just stick things in and push the button on high power.

    Power settings and standing time are important to know for best results.

    This morning, I reheated a couple of fried sausage patties, put them on
    the plate and hit 30 seconds and they were fine. Reheating a platter of
    food though, It is usually about 2 minutes and I never go over 50% power.

    did a roast, cooked to medium. It was excellent.

    I never reheat steaks or roasts as the flavour is vile to my
    taste. So I always slice them and have cold with chutney, either
    with hot veggies or in sandwiches.

    Not everybody can taste that. I can. People who say pot roast or
    stew is better then next day always sounded crazy to me.

    I will occasionally take the chill off of cooked meat, but it
    doesn't really get anywhere near hot. If it comes with a bold sauce
    that stomps on the "reheated flavor", I can just about manage it.
    Barbecue sauce, lashings of Tabasco, etc.

    I normally don't like reheated meat but stew and some other braised
    dishes are a different matter. Opinions vary. We have a good friend who
    knows his food. He does not like stew or braised dishes of any type.My
    wife and I, OTOH, prefer to make stew the day before, and we always make
    enough for two nights and believe it is better the second time.

    Steak is another matter. My wife and I don't eat as much meat as we used
    to. We used to buy two steaks for dinner and would polish them off in a
    meal. As time passed I would be handing my leftover steak to my wife who
    loves meat. Then it got to the point where neither of us could finish a
    steak. The last few times we had steak I bought only one and that worked
    for is. No leftovers to deal with.

    One thing we had tried for leftover steak was to heat it up with
    scrambled eggs and some hot sauce.

    It must be genetic. Like me, my father also hated that taste and Mum
    could never make stews from leftover roasts.

    I'll bet your exquisite palate can detect if one photon from a 2.4 ghz magnetron impinged on your food.

    I'm lucky. Not a problem as long as I keep power level very low. I will
    say that I've accidentally turned meat into a strange rubber state by
    accident, or by being impatient.
