Make sure that you don’t leave the meat out for more than 2 hours, or else it might go bad.
Consider having some slices of American cheese on hand.
If you want your burger to taste as fresh as possible, consider adding new slices of tomato, lettuce, and onions.
Look on the bottom of the plate or dish to locate a microwave-safe label.
The exact amount of time can vary depending on the thickness of the burger patty and the wattage of your microwave. Check your microwave’s user manual to see if it includes any recommended reheat times.
If you want to add a fresh piece of cheese, place it on top of the patty and microwave the two together for another 10 seconds.
Aim for the cheeseburger buns to be warm, not hot.
If you’re using a baking pan, consider lining it with a sheet of aluminum foil for extra protection. Be sure to close the oven door after putting in the patty.
If you want to melt additional cheese onto the patty, place a fresh slice on top of the burger during the last 1 or 2 minutes.
Ideally, your cheeseburger buns will look toasted when you remove them.
Make sure that you have a lid that fits this pan, as the lid will be essential to the reheating process. Alternatively, you can add some chicken stock or white wine instead of water to give the patty an extra dimension of flavor. Since you’re unable to reheat the buns in the sauté pan, consider using the microwave or oven to warm them.
By covering the pan, you allow steam to build up inside. This steam is the primary heat source responsible for reheating the patty. If you want to add a fresh slice of cheese, remove the lid and place the cheese on top for 30 to 60 seconds. Keep the lid off while the cheese melts.
The liquid in the pan can be discarded at this point. Wait until the pan is slightly cooler before pouring any excess fluid into the sink.
