Re-heating sliced meat

[derrynoose]

I occasionally re-heat sliced cooked meat by immersing it in gravy and then heating it in the microwave. Is there a way to do the same job without using gravy or other liquid? Thanks.

I usually do it not immersed, but with just a drop of either plain water or some stock, I find it's lovely & moist.
make sure it's covered & try it without any liquid & see what you think.

Put in at a medium heat

a microwave works by 'shaking' the water molecules in food to heat it up. When something like cooked meat with very little moisture is heated, it dries out very quickly. This is why when a lot of liquid is needed to cook food, say raw rice for instance, this is why it takes amost as long as conventional cooking because there are lots of molecules to shake!!

cook it with a couple of pieces of peeled potato the moisure from the spud is just enough to stop it drying out.... and it is ready to eat with the meat of course.....

Thanks everyone. Being a man I'll probably opt for the method which takes least effort!

put the beef on a plate with another plate on top to keep the heat in and place over a pot of boiling water for about 10-15 mins and it sort of steams - and you dont need any liquid..if you dont have a microwave its the best way to reheat meals they don't dry out like they would in the oven....
