Many people agree that certain foods just shouldn't be reheated in the microwave. Personally, I find pizza gets disgusting after being heated up in the microwave (I put it in the toaster oven for a little while, or the oven).

[image loading]


I am reheating an whopper jr from a couple of days ago. What method would you recommend?

[image loading]

Poll: How should I heat up the Whopper Jr. so that it doesn't suck?
(Vote): Don't heat it up... eat it cold.
(Vote): Put it in the microwave.
(Vote): Put it in the toaster oven.
(Vote): Put it on the bbq.
(Vote): Put it in the oven.
(Vote): Throw it out.
(Vote): Fry it on the stove.

I just started heating it up, but I am curious as to what preferences people have about reheating food. If you agree with me that microwaves ruin food, then represent!

Of course reheating doesn't taste as good as getting it fresh...

Just use microwave to reheat it. Food is food at this point, if you're debating how to eat a burger from the night before -_-

A microwaved burger has a distinct flavor, it's pretty sexy. Although by a couple of days I hope you don't mean like 2 weeks.

I certainly did not put it in the microwave.. it woulda sucked. I toasted it and the bun was a bit crisp, but it wasn't bad for a 2-3 old burger. For those of you saying microwaving doesn't matter, I respect your right to enjoy your food however you wish, but I have to disagree with you. My guess is, microwaving affects the state of the food because it's directly manipulating the individual water molecules, instead of just bombarding the food with heat like most cooking devices do. It causes the food to get either soggy, or hard, or generally unpleasant most of the time.

Edit: to be fair, I didn't have another burger to put in the microwave for comparison, so I can't state unilaterally that I wouldn't have enjoyed it.

I just heat it in the microwave. If its not fresh it doesnt really matter how its reheated (as long as its still edible). Microwave is just the easiest

Yeah, anything with bun/crust/etc. suffers from the microwave and pretty much requires toaster imo.

heat it slowly on a medium or medium high setting. consider re-toasting the buns, or at least removing them before you sling the burger in there because microwaves make bread soggy.

Microwaves ruin any kind of baked goods. It probably won't matter if it's just a Whopper and it was probably soggy to begin with, but generally it'll change the texture of any breads you put in there.

I use microwave. You have to take off the buns and veggies, heat up the meat, then put it back together for good food. microwaved buns suck ass... and it makes the veggies all soggy. so yeah.

Fuck i nearly puked when i read that.
I once went home drunk after a party and ate a burger from the night before. I tought it tasted kinda stale. Then i went to bed. Next day i threw up like crazy. Why did it taste stale? Because the focking fridge broke that night and i was too drunk to notice.

Fuck even thinking about it makes me feel uneasy.

My mother went to burger king, got it to go, brought it home, put it in the fridge, and left it there for 2-3 days. I was like screw it I'll just eat it.

Haha that sucks. Fortunately I wasn't drunk so I didn't have a problem.

Further proof of my claim that drunk=bad

A. if moldy, nuke it then freeze save for emergency only (i.e. throw it away)
B if not moldy:
1. remove bread - toast buns lightly
2. remove lettuce tomato etc.. - microwave patty only
3. reassemble; if tomato too soggy, slice up a new piece
4. if it still don't taste good, add abundant hot chili sauce

toaster oven.

If its french fries, you have to lightly re-fry them. Anything else will taste HORRIBLE.

I actually find microwaving french fries (the steak fry kind, not the mcdonald's type) can be soso as long as you drain a bit of fat, and put a bit of extra salt on it.

5/5! I would assume your reheating a cold whopper jr cause you got some serious munchies so I instead of throwing it out, just throw that bitch in the microwave, yeah sure - it will make it taste bad, but gl making it taste good. just cover that shit in ketchup and scarf it =D
