I need to heat a couple of (cooked) chicken breasts. Is microwave or oven better?

Posted by ty97 Apr 19 '10, 15:33

Want to avoid drying them out.

Responses:

Oven. Get a little plastic lemon bottle of lemon juice and squeeze over it. Or better yet, put a can of cream of mushroom over it in a roasting pan. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 19, 16:38
oven probably, or i guess you could cook them in a pressure cooker, or a pan, or the microwave. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 19, 15:57
best? low temp oven in a covered heavy metal pot. some micros have a reheat function that heats with low power - zDroid Apr 19, 15:55 1

nukeing will heat erradically until it hits entire overkill. i'd use the oven if you have 20 minutes -- nm - peglegpete Apr 19, 15:47
oh for the love of... nuke for 90 seconds. Done. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 15:42 4
- unbunch your panties. I know that would work, I was curious if it was *best* -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 15:43 3
  - Of course it's not the best. It's a freaking microwave. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 15:45
  - I think you should construct a solar oven using twigs, clay and a convex mirror. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 15:44 1
    - Or, if you're a purist, have it gently warmed by the breath of adorable kitties - prayformojo Apr 19, 15:47
oven, wrapped in foil -- nm - con_carne Apr 19, 15:40
why not a covered pan on the stove - slow heat and turn them once. -- nm - JenBro Apr 19, 15:38 7
- My favorite recipe: 2-3 chicken breasts in a pot with a can of golden mushroom soup. - Dr.Vermin Apr 19, 16:13 1
  - Do you have a special technique for mashed potatoes? (and, skins on or off, for the potatoes?) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 16:44
- hadn't considered this. -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 15:42 4
  - This is how you can cook those frozen bags of chicken tenderloins I was talking about. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 19, 16:39
  - You could also use a double boiler, or in a pinch, a steel bowl inside a saucepan of boiling water, partially covered -- nm - con_carne Apr 19, 15:57
  - Pizza re-heats very well this way too - well - you don't flip the slices ... but still ... it's the best way IMHO. - JenBro Apr 19, 15:45 1
    - that's how pizzerias do it in NY. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 15:46
Define "better." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 19, 15:35 2
- Joe Mauer is "better"-looking than Jacoby Ellsbury. -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 15:42 1
  - A completely irrational statement like this, having no basis in fact, is not a "definition." - ReluctantCynic Apr 19, 15:48
microwave is less likely to dry them out, but can make them rubbery. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 15:35
(they are currently in the fridge) -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 15:34 2
- I'd use the zapper for that -- nm - CQ Apr 19, 15:35 1
  - I'd put a lightly soaked paper towel over them too -- nm - CQ Apr 19, 15:36
