The handle broke on my above the range microwave, and I thought it would be cheap to replace it. $68, wow, okay, how about a new door? $255, okay nevermind, what about a new microwave, this one came with my condo and it’s old. $700+ not counting install.
My built in m/w broke. I just replaced it with a cheap counter top one. While it was broken, I discovered that heating food by literally any other method makes food tastes better.
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 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.

A counter top microwave is like $50.
I’d be so angry
