Edited on February 10, 2026 for better recipe performance! The other day I was microwaving various foods, and too tired to think straight. Next thing I knew I was microwaving bowl after bowl of stuff for two minutes each instead of putting it on one plate. But my microwave is pretty annoying anyway as it has a habit of burning or undercooking basically every time I use it! Here’s another way. Come to think of it this is pretty handy if you’re camping or something too
Warm Up Food Without Microwave
Tired of the microwave? Here’s my method of warming stuff up on the stove
Ingredients
- Food, whatever it is
Directions
- Put a skillet on the stove and turn it to Low, or about 2 to 2.5 on an electric stovetop, depending on your stove’s quirks. Whatever “Low” means at your place. Err on the side of too low.
- Get a lid that fits inside it
- Cram food in there. If it’s like pizza or muffins or something you might want to add a few drops of oil and/or water on the skillet. If it’s a heavy skillet, like cast iron or enamel or stainless steel, add 1 and a half tablespoons of water. Cover it with the lid. Doesn’t matter if it isn’t airtight or perfect or whatever so long as most of the food is covered.
- Wait 17 minutes. Serve.
