Worst reheated food 'genre'

[Q]

See poll.

I vote for Italian, while American may be close, reheated steak/grilled chicken, etc is pretty decent, though reheated fries are awful.

American and then Italian. The others reheat fine IMO.

American food is terrible reheated, all 3 others taste fine reheated for some reason.

Italian or American.

Hot dogs and Hamburgers are probably the worst, but some dishes, like southwestern-type food is damn tasty re-heated.
I re-heat certain pasta dishes somewhat frequently, but it's nowhere near the glorious state just after initial preparation.

Of course, "Chinese" is the absolute best.

Reheated pizza is awesome until you get to the crust.

Fries are horrible reheated. Burgers are ok but if they have lettuce and and tomatoes then they are horrible.

Does reheating only mean the using the microwave? Reheated Italian is awesome as long as you don't use the microwave. I'll have to go with American food, though I can still reheat a fry and make it decent.

You have to do it on an open rack in the oven. It's sometimes even better, as the crust gets crispy, which is my preference.

Italian? Lasagna is often even better the 2nd day when it's reheated.

American food by far. I dont even bother doggy bagging anything at american restaurants now.

Burgers and hotdogs are good if you exclude teh condiments bun. Hell, I like them cold.

Actually, all of those reheat really well. Except for maybe the tacos.

I'll vote chinese because rice doesn't reheat very well.

And people, reheat your fries in the oven.

Anything with fish. Come to think of it, any reheated seafood sounds perfectly awful.

Takes too long. Leftovers are meant to be quick.

I'd say it depends if you're limiting me to what I can reheat the food in

A decent griddle works pretty nicely too. And it's not that it has to be good, but it does help if it heats up fast and has very little cleanup required

yep. We make hashbrowns/hashbrown casserole out of leftover potatoes, works really well because they're already cooked.

I do that with pizza from Pizza Hut. It tastes so much better when the crust is slightly crispy from the oven.

French Fries---or just about any Potato based food

Pizza is my favourite reheated food, as someone already posted, popping Pizza into the oven is quite delectable.

I know you like to cook so I'll pimp my advantium oven again. It uses 4500 watts of halogen lamps to act like an oven and it's a microwave as well. Can reheat pizza perfectly in under 5 minutes. The ability to use microwave and oven at the same time really helps with reheating.
