Microwaving A Chinese Takeaway

[sherrardk]

If I bought a takeaway about 5pm and then zapped it about 7pm do you think it would be ok or will it be ruined?

[Cloverjo]

I think it would be ok. I have done that before.

[ummmm]

What is it?

I'd do it. I always have Chinese the next day.

[SlackAlice]

Should be reasonably ok. Don't do it on full power though, or the rice might be like little hard bullets.

Why don't you buy it at 7pm?

[Daffy6543]

I have often reheated Chinese food the following day, if it's a rice or noodle dish I tend to heat it in a wok or frying pan though.

[sherrardk]

I eat at 7 and the kids eat at 5 (they're having a chip shop tea) himself is off out so I can't go back out at 7 as I would normally (plus it's cold and it'll be dark).

Delivery?

[mccfluff]

i microwaved one for breakfast.....

[sunny-dave]

It will be fine - just avoid ordering any battered balls, they don't microwave well ...

[diddlydo]

Errr - wouldn't it be simpler just to cook something from scratch for yourself at 7pm?!

To crispen up roast chicken and spare ribs, dunk in a hot chip pan

Take it out of the metal container first.

You should not put metal in a microwave.

cool it quickly in the fridge and make sure its thoroughly hot through when you've nuked it.
