Can this be used to just reheat small amounts of food instead of microwave? Leftovers?

sure , i don't like microwaves, but the previous post is right, you may have to add some liquid to prevent food from sticking or burning.

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.

Of course. It is actually better for re-heating than for making them. I don't think it is a great appliance for preparation.

yes, but you would run a small risk of burning. For that little rice, you need to use instant rice in a microwave.

The only thing I use mine for is to warm up foods. The foods warmed up are just like they were cooked. I use it in the place of the microwave.

You can use it either way. It will cook with microwaves alone or convection alone or a combination of both.

Yes, I have used it to heat up milk in a 700 watt microwave oven for about 30 seconds, then shook it to mix up the milk.

Yes. The instructions are on the packaging. It can be microwaved for 60 seconds, and if not hot enough, microwave it in 20 second intervals.

Personally, if I wanted to reheat I would use microwave. This appliance takes toooooooooooooo long to heat.

I would think so. Haven't used it in the microwave but I wouldn't hesitate to do it.

I like hearing that. Microwaving would be faster and easier. Do you remember the link to the page online that says it can be microwaved?

No. Think of a big toaster. It gets hot for a few minutes, but then it's done. I thnk for small things like single portions of frozen entree or toasting bread or rolls, this is a perfect gizmo, much less heat and energy than a big oven.

I've reheated lunch foods such as leftover General Tso's chicken & rice (1 hr), and a variety of soups (1/2 hr). It reheats foods evenly and doesn't overcook.

Yes, you can cook a smaller amount. The portion doesn't matter. It will still come out just as good.

We've only used it to reheat leftovers. Takes about 20 minutes to get up to temp, but works really well. We use a bread tin (8 x 4 inches) which fits perfectly and then you can toss it without any mess.

No. It's too large to fit in a standard microwave and is made for oven use only.

yes, I put mine in the microwave for ten seconds on each side. Directions recommend that you heat in ten second intervals (or less) until you know what works for your particular microwave.
