I went to microwave a microwavable burger, and it tells you to nuke it for awhile, leave it still for a little while, then nuke it for a little while longer. While I was leaving it for the little while, the sumbish beeped at me like “Hey trouser simian, don’t forget your processed bullshit.”
The nag beeps on mine are one minute apart. That is helpful for when you need to let the food sit for a specific amount of time.
Letting food stand a bit after nuking it lets the heat distribute evenly, btw. (That is why most microwave directions for frozen food include that bit.)
LPT: If you really don’t want something to get burned and want evenly heated food, start experimenting with longer times but at much less power. So, to reheat steak, cut it into strips and distribute evenly on a plate. Heat for 2-3 mins at about 25% normal power. Once you get the hang of it, you can mostly preserve the original doneness of the steak while still getting it nice and warm again.
Leftover…steak?
Yep. When I cook steak, I usually cook an extra to snack on later by itself or make sandwiches with.
Nothing beats fresh steak, but there is a method to reheating in the microwave it without drying it out or getting it super-well done.
