Reheating Fried Foods

How do you reheat foods that were fried? Like fried chicken, french fries, pakoras/samosas etc? Almost all of these things are only good when fresh and hot…they lose their texture totally when you reheat them…is there a special way?

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

Sara , some people still tell me that you can dip them back in hot oil for a few seconds and fry them and they will regain their crunch. But I personally am not in the favour of giving food a double dip in oil!

so now I just preheat the oven on grill mode and keep the stuff in for 20 minutes... I know for sure that the french fries do come out crispy ....

For the chicken nuggets , Try reheating them on the tawa. Without any oil.

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

yes reheat in oven should be better than microwave or any other method.

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

^ Agree.

Except fries....fries are horrible when they're cold/re-heated......so i'll gobble them all up when they're hot and i don't order/make too much to prevent waste!

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

no way...when these things are cold all the grease is still on there. :(

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

it doesn't matter how many fries i make...we eat them all right then...i have never had left over fries in my life!!

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

Sara, the grease is a part of the taste!! said like a true desi

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

Why can't you share leftovers with poor people ? Instead of adding pounds to your waist you can help feed the poor , needy and hungry.

Can you reheat pakoras?! Never been able to do it...have kind of given up!!!

Re: Reheating Fried Foods

I just microwave them.. :\
