What is your experience with reheating leftover pasta, i.e., spaghetti and meat sauce from the night before? Thanks!

I reheated leftover Kraft mac and cheese yesterday--I added a bit of water (1-2 Tbs) and an extra slice of cheese on top, and it came out perfectly. There was a little bit of brown and crispy but that was tasty--I was more worried about it drying out or becoming mushy. The pasta texture was fine.

Better than a microwave. Taste like "just made" rather than reheated. Anything with sauces just taste so much better in this. Love it

It works very well, but like anything else can be a little dry. Add some liquid and it's perfect. I just reheated potatoes and veggies from the night before. I added some salsa. It was amazing!

I have not reheated marina. I tend to think that if the sauce is thick, it may not be a good expertience. The food will stick and burn. If you don't mind ithe sauce on the thinner side, like a stew, it will probably be okay.

I Cooked Pressure Cooker Chalupas with black beans one night and pork chops with gravy and rice another night having leftovers . Both of these came out like I reheated them in the microwave. I didn't add any water to the chalupas mix but I did to the pork chops with gravy and rice b/c there wasn't much liquid. It heated in 2-2 1/2 hours and it was pretty hot. hope this helps.

Reheats everything great because it does it slowly. Use your best judgement if you need to add liquid or not.

Well, I don't use a microwave to reheat food...so I like to use steam to reheat. I'll fill the resovoir with water and my food doesn't get soggy or over cooked. Works well to reheat meats without drying it out.

Hi Robin, this particular pot is great. At times when It's just two us. I use this pot to cook pasta, using just 8 oz. of pasta. Fill pot just over half, add some salt, bring to a rolling boil, add pasta, I cook the pasta just about 7 1/2 mins. Drain pasta into a colander,Sprinkle with Parmesan-Reggiano, Add A Ladle of sauce to the pasta and serve. This pot works great for pasta, it also works terrific to, again, for making homemade sauces. We love it. Let me know what you think, Ok?

I have....once. I put the laurel in the crock, added water almost to the top of the laurel, then put in my frozen food stilled wrapped in foil. I undid the foil and spread it open the 'cooked' my lasagna on low about 4 hours till dinner. Hot, soft but not squishy. Perfect.

I actually boiled pasta the other night and picked up the pot handles and they were NOT at all hot. I'm not sure about a frying pan but I'm assuming they wouldn't be hat either.

Pasta cooked- why would u compost raw? Unless you spilled it all over your floor- and then swept it up- you could also compost this for about many weeks longer!! Eggs- eithet

I believe u would have to remove fro. Its original carton and place in the aluminium pans. My husband has taken a cold meal I prepared in the pan, and by the time he just his first stop, dinner is warm. He's warmed cheesesteaks, other hot sub, soup, pasta, never a TV dinner. I'm a home cooking mamma .

Hi, I like using carrots, onions and celery that I saute in olive oil for a few minutes until they start to soften. I then add about 8 cups of stock and 1 cup of the soup mix. When it get near the end of the cooking time (the soup mix is fairly soft) I'll add either some shredded cooked chicken or little mini meatballs. I sometimes will add a diced potato as well. I like to use Italian seasonings in the soup.

Mostly we defrost and serve cold which is delicious. We have warmed it before, but you have to be careful because it can get dried out. Leftovers are better when not heated.

I only cook for 2 of us but we like leftovers. I guess I haven't tried to cook for 2 so I can't answer this question. I would think if you were cooking smaller amounts then you could cut down on your cooking time.

put food in tin foil works great and no messy pan to clean up. I line the cooker with tin foil and cook soup chili ar anything that sounds better than a sandwich

Not really..... it did a really nice job on the pizza, but it was still cool in the middle, and I had to reheat that part before eating it. Found the same thing with reheating most leftovers..... however, I really DO like that it retains the moisture and things don't go 'cardboard' on me now!

I have a standard recipe, for 2 or 3 persons I use 2 cups of water and 1 cup of milk, bring to a boil and add 1 1/2 cups of Potatoe Perls. I use a whip to beat them fluffy, add a little bit of salt and pepper and optional a bit of butter. For 5 people I would double the recipe and use the leftovers, either in soup or just reheat them in the microwave the next day - put a lid on. My family thinks they are homemade.

Yes, you can. I cook spaghetti sauce all day using the mat. I cook the meat on a higher temp. and when I am ready to let it simmer, I put the mat on the burner and turn the burner to its lowest temperature. I only stir it a couple of times during the day. The mat prevents it from burning onto the bottom of the pot.

I cook spaghetti for 2 all the time with it. Never tried boxed mac & cheese, but it would cook the pasta very well. I'm sure the other ingredients could be stirred in.

I would say this falls under more of being a defective package - after all, you want your cheese sauce put on the noodles AFTER they're cooked, not before. I would contact Amazon customer service and let them know. Chances are, this was a fluke, as all of my packages thus far have been fine (cheese in its proper little package inside the big packaging - separated from the noodles); I doubt this would affect the quality of the product, or the taste, but if it isn't what you want to deal with, I'd take the steps to contact Amazon. I hope this helps!
