Huh. Thanks.
I heated up a leftover chicken breast the other night, and felt as though that was a perfect example of something that needs to be reheated at a lower power level. If you've ever had leftover chicken from the microwave that was chewy or tough, there's a good chance it was that (unless it was tough to begin with).
Try using 80% heat (power level 8) next time you have to re-heat up a thick piece of chicken. It really is a game changer.
I just thought microwave chicken was terrible. I didn't know there was a way to make it better
I mean it really depends on what you're heating up as to how much better it is. Some things it doesn't matter as much.
