Any good tips for reheating food at work?

[Guest guest]

My lunch at work is my leftovers from last night dinner. I would like

to reheat my food at work because it is so cold at work. If I eat cold

leftovers I'm freezing after lunch. Plus I had read that eating cold

food take more energy and added stress to digestive process.

Work only has microwaves. I would rather not nuke my food for all the

right reasons.

So anyone have any good tips/ideas on reheating my food at work other

than turning on my car and putting my lunch under the hood? :-)

Bringing in a portable gas stove will not be allowed either.

Thanks a bunch!

i send my little girl's lunch in a thermos. i put it in the thermos at 6AM and it's still very warm at 11AM when she goes to lunch. another poster suggested putting boiling water in the thermos before adding your food to keep it warmer even longer. i think that's a great idea!!!!

Nuking your food breaks down the nutrients, flavoniods, etc, etc...it

makes it a " dead " food. Nuking your food is not what you want to do

when your on a healing diet.

Many people feel that the use of microwaves is unhealthy, that it

disrupts the nutrients and enzymes in the food, and that this is not

something which you want on a journey to heal yourself with

food.

I do not have a working microwave, and am in no hurry to replace the one

I have because I've found that placing food on an oven safe plate on the

top shelf of my oven, and pre-heating the oven to 350F, then turning it

off, heats the food far more evenly and completely than any microwave. I

also have a toaster oven for re-heating small stuff.

However, Elaine never banned the use of microwaves, feeling that it was

better to eat micro-waved SCD food than to eat SAD which was prepared

non-microwave.

I'm not interested in arguing the pros and cons of microwaves. So for

those of you who choose to use them, feel free. For those of you who

choose not to use them, that's our personal choice.
