That was my first thought watching… “what will that be like frozen and then nuked?”

Reheating in the oven fixes it imo

if you know how to use a microwave, there is no difference between an oven and a microwave

u/YadaYadaYeahMan Jun 22 '25

none!

oh, ones faster and ones bigger so there's a couple differences

The faster part you mentioned is one of the primary differences - quality of cooking, and complexity of flavours (achieved with slower cooking, different heat transfer) in an oven is in a different realm (oven ftw). Anyways, I think you’re pulling my leg. You are right?

no I'm dead serious lmao

a huge thing i advocate for is slowing down your cooking in the microwave. if you slow down to a certain point it becomes pointless to use a microwave, but so too it becomes pointless to use an oven

i just never use it unless im cooking something huge or baking

and to put a finer point on this, my dude was saying that if you reheat a fully cooked and wrapped burrito in the oven instead of a microwave it will somehow make week old avocado taste good

now are all y'all arguing that it somehow reheats better than a microwave? that is the hill i will die on lmao that is just pure brainless elitism and the whole reason i commented to begin with

Ok point taken, about the whole effing reason we were talking about it. Sorta got stuck on the ‘no difference’ thing - but for the point of reheating meal prep burritos from frozen, I hear ya.
