Set up the portion correctly
A smaller, flatter portion usually reheats more evenly than a packed container or stacked leftovers.
- •Break sliders into an even layer when possible.
- •Separate crunchy parts from saucy parts if the dish allows it.
- •Start checking earlier than you think for thinner portions.
What to avoid
