Part 4/7:
The microwave proved more efficient, delivering results with less hassle. Choose the microwave for ease, but remember to check that it’s hot throughout.
5. Roasted Vegetables: Aiming for Crunch
Roasted veggies can lose their appeal when reheated. We compared:
Oven Method: 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes.
Air Fryer: 185°C (365°F) for 10 minutes.
Microwave: 3.5 minutes on high.
The air fryer produced the best results, retaining crunch and color. Use the oven if you don’t have an air fryer, but avoid the microwave to keep veggies appealing.
6. Stir Fry: The Takeaway Dilemma
Reheating stir fry in its packaging can be hazardous. We used:
Microwave: Two minutes, stir, then one more minute.
Pan Fry: Medium-high heat.
