@Janet357 thanks! My brain just wouldn’t stop thinking and worrying so it reflects to what I do.

Microwave ovens are good for reheating foods but you can give the food too long in the oven if you're not careful.

Yes thank you, microwave is what I use everyday in the office when I’m reheating my lunch though I want to know how to reheat when microwave isn’t available.

You should never reheat food but steam it. Fill a vessel with water and place colander over it. Place the vessel with the food in the collander. Close it with a lid and steam it for a while

@MALUSE Reheating changes its original state. But steaming does not In fact it moisturises it while reheating reduces the moisture We used tore heat it before until we came to know about this steaming method. Try and see.

I've reheated food all my life and never steamed it. I have no problems with this method and neither have the members of my family.

@allknowing Some dishes taste even better when they are reheated! I'll stay with this method.

@weevee18 In Europe we do not eat rice with food, we eat bread with food or potatoes. The easiest way to re-heat rice, add a couple of spoon of water, cover with a plastic foil (this create a steaming effect) and place in the microwave.

@ShifaLk what an achievement, it’s fulfilling right?

What did your family say about you suddenly getting interested in cooking?

I often do it the way Always Smiling has mentioned in her comment. That makes the food soft. Simple ways are reheating in microwave or just putting it on stove.

Thank you @arunima25 the microwave was on top of my mind but on times that it’s not available I’d like to have an idea on what to do. I don’t like the feeling of not knowing what to do. Makes me feel weak.

There are plenty of videos available in YouTube for cooking. You need to spend time for that. You can make tasty wishes without any one's support. Please have a try.

@weevee18 It is better to cook alone, do you know what is the problem if some one around. we always feel doubt, is it right or wrong, because some one is there to disturb and seek help. If you do it alone, you will gain confidence on doing it yourself.

Thank you! This is what I actually do when I want to try and cook something. I’d like to cook alone because if someone would be checking again and again then I will be very distracted. I will always try to cook. I know that when I practice enough, I’d make a decent meal one day.

@Sreekala that is why when I’m trying to cook I want to do it alone. There is also that someone who will stop you and demonstrate suddenly how to cook. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but I can’t focus like that.

@weevee18 some stews in bigger pans heat better on the stove than in the microwave.

@weevee18 Ever since I learnt of harmful radiations of microwave , I would prefer not to heat the food rather it`s better to wrap in a foil that has some antibacterial effects.
