Why is it so difficult to re-heat pasta in a microwave oven?!


Question: microwaves heat oil and water molecules.

Leftover/refrigerated pasta tends to dry out or the water is absorbed into the pasta.

What I do and I suggest that you add a teaspoon or a tablespoon of water to the pasta, plus cover with a lid or saran wrap to trap the steam. If you have extra sauce, add sauce instead.

I don't find it difficult.

You really should explain why you are having difficulty. I don't findit difficult at all.

it needs moisture, but you can do it in a piece of tupperware with a lid to it, or if it is plain pasta, just boil some water and drop it in for about 2 mins.

Its not hard at all, set the microwave on a lower temperature setting like "warm" or even "medium."

Its not difficult to reheat It's difficult to maintain the quality of the original dish.
