It fits most microwaves with minimum interior dimensions of 12.5 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 5 inches in height. Unless you have a super small microwave, it should be fine but do mind the wattage instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cleaning<\/strong> the Reheatza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Reheatza has a non-stick surface that makes it easy to clean. It should NOT be washed in a dishwasher and should only be cleaned with a slightly damp sponge or cloth. The pan can malfunction if you submerge it in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Use the Reheatza<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheating the pan is quite important. To preheat the pan, simply place it without food and lid in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes (for a 1200W microwave, or 3 minutes for 1100W microwave). You should not exceed 3 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For best results, you should wait for 10 minutes or until\nthe Reheatza pan has completely cooled before using it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to ensure that you are following the\ninstructions depending on the correct microwave wattage. If your food is not\nhot as yet, continue cooking it for 30 second intervals until hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cooking steak is determined by the thickness of the steak. If the steaks are thicker than 0.5 inches, you may have to cook it longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mce_12\"><strong>Does It Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, yes. It prevents certain foods from being ruined in the microwave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it as good as pan frying? No. But nobody should expect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s somewhere in the middle. It does a better job of preserving food texture than normal microwaving but is not as good in that regard as other cooking methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you buy one? That&#8217;s a personal decision about the importance of food texture. Personally, I&#8217;d rather eat pizza, eggs or bacon cold than ruin them in a microwave so I think the small cost and extra few minutes is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Does the Reheatza Heating Pan Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People who understand how microwaves work can easily understand how the Reheatza Heating Pan operates. Reheatza notes that the secret is in the Microwave Energized Heating Pan which turns microwave energy into conductive heat. This simply means that the material of the pan is not microwave permeable, but it is affected by the radiation in order to heat up. The heat is then transferred through the regular conduction to the food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the pan heats up the same way it does on a cooking stove, and the food cooks through direct contact. However, only the cooking surface reacts, which means the lining around the pan and the lid should remain cool. The pan should be preheated before it cooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What People Are Saying About Reheatza<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most users appear to be pleased with the crispiness of the food, including some positive results with reheating pizza. However, the chief complaint is that everything takes too long. It does take longer to use this device, and microwaves are about efficiency. Nobody cooks in a microwave for flavor. So it&#8217;s a matter of how important the texture is to the individual user. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Reheatza Heating Pan can be ideal for college students who live in dorms where toaster ovens or hot-plates are not allowed. One of the best features of this pan is that it has a non-stick surface and cleaning is super easy. Nevertheless, it may not be convenient if you are preparing several servings or for those who like cooking in a hurry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"has-large-font-size\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Check Price &amp; Availability (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2XHB1nd\" target=\"_blank\">Check Price &amp; Availability<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever heat up some pizza in the microwave only to find that the crust comes out hard and overly chewy?
