Reheating BBQ

[Finbarohanlon]

Got the Book and it has taken my skills to a new level. I have a yoder ys480 and a weber genesis and love outdoor cooking. I have a tip for reheating BBQ that I have not seen on the site. Forgive me if it has already been posted.
Reheating BBQ.

A phenomenal way to reheat BBQ is with a steam microwave oven.
I have a panasonic NN-CS894 and reheat by setting Convection setting to 225 degrees for 5 mins then switching to steam 1 setting then checking every 2 - 3 mins.
It comes out absolutely unbelievable. Best reheating method i have tasted yet.
Happy trails.

Thanks I don't think I've ever seen a steam oven. Or if I did I didn't know what I was looking at.

I did a quick Google search, and it appears to be a UK/Ireland product. I couldn't find it here at least in the first page of results.

Finbarohanlon I too have yet to see a steam microwave. Welcome to The Pit! We'd love to get an intro from you over in the Introduce Yourself channel when you get a minute.

It makes sense. When I reheat BBQ "as is" in the microwave, I use a wet paper towel, covering the pile, completely. It has been chopped or sliced prior to the process. It works well. Since getting an Anova Sous Vide machine I have put it in the water bath to reheat with good results but it takes a bit more time. I have found that steaming in a double pan steamer takes the flavor away and changes the texture. So I imagine the steaming microwave replicates the wet paper towel method.

The old man has a steam oven in his new house. I have played with it some but I know the one he has isn't cheap and I don't wanna break anything. They offer classes on how to use it, that my dad has no interest in. So I am going too take his spot. Plus we have the same name, I can get away with it. I am looking forward to using it to reheat some BBQ.

That Panasonic steam microwave is not generally available in the US. Easy to get in Europe/UK/Canada/Australia but not the US. I wonder why?

As Histrix mentioned I am not sure if it is available in the US but surely there is something like this over there.
I just spent 8 years living between Manhattan and Hollywood and the amount of Products available dwarfs Australia where I am currently.

Welcome new friend. I look forward to getting to know you!

[FireMan]

Great! We get this new guy & he joins, then he sends most of us into a MCS frenzy with this steam microwave thing & reheating BBQ. With friends like you, we don't need anyone else, we've got you. Welcome aboard Finbar. Enjoy the ride!

Great tip, Finbar!

I miss cooking with steam, as I was able to do for many years.
Stack steamers, and steam jacketed kettles, from tiny (~15 gal. thru 50-75 gal.), give a cook some suh-weet options!

Biggest problem reheating BBQ is that it dries out. I have found that, if I leave some of my dripping as caramel, that helps hold a lot of moisture as well and flavor. if you don't do caramel from your dripping as I do, just mix some store bought gelatin with some water and let it bloom, put that in your po, with or without sauce, and reheat with a lid on to help hold moisture. it is the gelatin that makes just off the grill so unctuous, gelatin makes the reheated nearly as delish!

[Jlock]

I always vac seal my leftovers in smaller two-serving sizes. Then to reheat I'll put the vac sealed container inside of a like sized zip top bag (just for protection against the vac seals loosening in the hot water) and float it in simmering water. Yes it takes longer than nuking it but it doesn't dry out.

Karon Adams What do you typically reheat to?

[Karon Adams]

about 140, that way, it holds the heat for a little while and is still pleasantly arm on the tongue.

Thanks!

Ok so who wants to start producing and selling these in the states?

[Spinaker]

My Dad has one in his new house. But it wasn't cheap.

Spinaker , That is pretty awesome but I am probably going to have to wait till Lowes gets a discount version or a deeply discounted scratch and dent floor model. lol

[Spinaker]

Yeah No SH$& man. Thats what I said.
