Reheating Lasagnas

[shivvy]

I am making a regular and a veggie lasagna and then putting them in the fridge to reheat in the oven the next day.
I am wondering if I should make them a bit more sloppy than usual to allow for the reheating?

Thanks.

The chilled (cooked) lasagnes sold in supermarkets, ready for oven heating, aren't 'sloppy' in any way. They're just 'normal', but only lightly cooked (so that the oven heating also serves to brown the top layer).

I'd prepare them normally but cook them for slightly less time than if they were to be served immediately.

Two minutes in the microwave. No drying out and less electricity, used.

If they will fit in your microwave I would reheat them there.

If you are stuck with an oven - make them more sloppy, or, preferably, add water just before you reheat so the pasta will not go soft.

No they won't fit in the microwave chrissa1 and that's why I am asking about reheating them in the oven.
Which unfortunately means that I have one vote for more sloppy (jourdain) and one vote for not (Buenchico).
What's a girl to do?!

Not.... 2-1

Just to confuse a girl even further, here are two suggestions from the internet ;-)

1. Wrap it in foil, aiming for as tight a seal as possible:

2. As above, but add milk first:

I cooked my lasagne at lunchtime today, and we cut it up and microwaved the portions separately at teatime. It is more solid,but we like it that way,and the whole flavour is better. 2 mins, wait 30 secs then another min.

[ummmm]

The heating process tends to loosen them.

Thanks for your answers.

I think I will use the tin foil option in your first link Buenchico.
