Re-heating Food (1 Viewer)

[Jim Daniels]

I have been roped into making dinner for a couple of friends tomorrow night.
I have decided to make Risotto. Preferably, this would be served as soon as it is ready, but logistically this is not going to happen. I probably won't serve it until about 30 mins after they arrive and I don't want to be in the kitchen during that time making it!

What is the best way to reheat Risotto? The idea of re-heating in the microwave is not very appealing. And is there a danger that it would become over-cooked if I left it on a ring at very low temp?

keep it warm in the oven while you make small talk with the guests?

That sounds like a very practical solution, cheers!

yeah, keep it in the oven at a low heat and perhaps some chips and dips whilst you make small talk.
maybe a world music cd playing softly in the background whilst you all recline on your habitat sofa.
what times this kicking off at?

I'd keep it warm on a very low heat on the hob. What you gonna have in it? If it's the usual mushroomy thing and you're using arborio rice you probably don't need to worry about it overdoing, so long as it's moist enough and doesn't burn

Thats exactly what I did and it was grand! Cheers Egg.
It was the usual wild mushroomy/ arborio rice job alright and worked out fine.

And no Mr P. there was no Habitat furniture

But I did have In the Heart of the Moon by Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate on repeat...

Anything with pasta in it is nicer re heated then fresh if you ask me.

both currys and chillis improve hugely after a day or two in the fridge, a spicy banging bolognaise does similar
