had a chinese last night and plenty of fu yung and chow mein are left (sadly no S&S Chicken), and i think it would make a great lunch.

but how do i go about reheating it?

it's in foil containers atm so i can't microwave them, should i use the oven or what.

thanks

Update:

plate + nuke for 1 min 30 secs worked a treat, not as nice as fresh but alot better than cold

cheers guys

I just use the microwave. Warmed up some leftover Beef and Mushroom for about a min. and 20 secs in the microwave.

Good lord, how old are you that you have to ask AT on how to reheat something ??
Maybe if you dump the food into a microwavable bowl then reheat it ??

Although I'm not eating pasta (too many carbs ;)) they do reheat rather well.

NO!! They turn toxic if you microwave them!!! Don't do it!!!

Bwahahahaha!

Although some noodles would lose the moisture if you nuke it too long, becoming crispy.

ahahha ic

well chow mein is fairly dry so it shouldn't matter. just don't nuke it for too long like weirdichi said or it'll be crispy
