Oven or stovetop are the two easiest ones. I guess you could put it in a crock pot on low, though how long is a question. The typical way to reheat food in the oven involves either wrapping it in or covering it with Aluminum foil, but since contact with aluminum to food has been postulated as something that may either cause or exacerbate Alzheimer's, that's a risk. A toaster oven may also be an option.

So . . . What other methods could I use to reheat single servings of casseroles, quinoa etc?

Microwaves use very small radio waves to excite the food and heat it. This is just as spurious as claiming that cell phones cause brain cancer from the waves. Even the recent rise in breast cancer from women who carry their cell phones in their bras is suspected to be a matter of the heat they put off, not the radio waves. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew niven Sent: Monday, November 19, 2012 2:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] Reheating Food Hi Sharon. I think whether or not to use a microwave is purely a matter of personal choice. There are those who believe microwaves are harmful, and those who believe they aren't. personally, i have no problems using a microwave and don't feel that any nutritional value is lost when food is cooked or reheated in one. I'd be inclined to just carry on heating your leftovers in it. Hope this helps. Cheers andrew ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharon" <[email protected]> To: "Cookinginthedark@Acbradio.

What options are there for reheating food, especially small amounts of food without cooking them any longer than they are already cooked? For example, I have left over quinoa, and I have left over fish with spinach and pineapple.
