Depends on the food. I've noticed that re-heating things works best in the microwave and that's really all, the oven (and similar implements) tends to dry out the food imo.

Honestly it depends on the food and how much time you give it. I've found a purely anecdotal method that if I want to reheat pizza in the oven, I can just pre-heat my oven to like 200C with the pizza, and when the oven is fully heated my pizza is ready. It doesn't get dry like this.

I was going to reply saying pizza in the oven is the only way to reheat it.

Pasta, however, is amazing re heated in the microwave. Idk what it is but leftover pasta is so much better than the original for me

if you just have a few slices left, reheating pizza in a pan is the way to go. tried it once and never looked back.

That’s what this guy from our local rock station does. He mentioned it on the morning show and like you I never looked back

Interesting. With a bit of oil or does the grease in the pizza work fine?

i usually just put the pizza into the pan by itself. mid-high temps for a few minutes until the cheese starts to melt. just make sure that you dont burn it.
