💡 Method reminders
- •Store seared tuna in shallow portions so reheating stays even the next day.
- •Use the method that matches the texture you want back from seared tuna.
- •Stop reheating as soon as the center is hot so seared tuna does not dry out.
❌ Common misses for this method
- •Very high heat from the start if seared tuna is dense or sauce-heavy
- •Overcrowded pans or baskets that trap steam around seared tuna
- •Repeated reheats of the same portion
