I bang on about freezing leftovers and reheating them and how good it is, so I thought I would provide some useful tips about re-heating for meals to go and how you can make your dinner taste as good reheated as when you first cooked it.
- Firstly, Don’t put your oven on too hot, I always reheat my dinners on about 170-180°c.
- Reheating takes 30 minutes and needs stirring half way between. So, cook for 15mins, stir, cook for further 15mins.
- Get a Pirex dish with a lid. They are perfect for reheating things in. The small ones are great, not only because of their novel size, but also, they are, the perfect size!!!
- If you are cooking either something with a sauce, containing chicken or rice, add some water – enough to cover the bottom of the dish, this will ensure the sauce remains ‘a sauce’ and ensure chicken/rice does not become dry.
- Make sure your dinner is defrosted for at least 2 hours before reheating. The best thing to do is to get your dinner out of the freezer before you go to work then it will be thoroughly defrosted when you get home… Perfect!
