I’m confident that if you did a blind taste test, at least 9 out of 10 would choose a pie reheated in a convection oven in preference to a microwave oven.

I knew this had been discussed before. 'British Food' page 7.

Re: Cookin Corner
It's a good thing I didn't ask about tying shoelaces, who knows what variations would arise?
I'll go with the oven folks, or rather, my wife will. She hates soggy pastry and not knowing how long to microwave it, could be disappointed. I don't eat that food so it doesn't matter to me, but I don't want to hear her whining.

Re: Cookin Corner
I'd agree with him, but he's talking about puff pastry. The pies we're talking about are usually shortcrust.
However, here's a guy who claims that reheating in a microwave does not cause the crust to go soggy! He wraps it in kitchen towel first. Never tried that.

Re: Cookin Corner
It might have helped reduce the “soggy bottom” but it didn’t look very appetising to me - I’ll continue to use an oven!!

Re: Cookin Corner
And every time you nuke it with a towel, you have to wash the towel. I'd rather put it in the toaster oven, set the temp. and the timer and come back when the bell rings. Can anyone, who is retired, not wait 30-45 mins. until they eat? If not, have an apple or something.
Re: Cookin Corner
You wash your paper towels? That's serious OCD!

Re: Cookin Corner
Very true:Language difference US vs GB.
"In Britain, paper towel for kitchen use is also known as kitchen roll, kitchen paper, kitchen towel."
"The term kitchen towel refers to a dish towel in American English (called a tea towel in UK and Canadian English) and to a paper towel in British English."

Why is it called a tea towel? How does it relate to the beverage or the afternoon repast?HHTel wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 4:10 pmVery true:Language difference US vs GB.
