Following up my own post, I remembered another aspect of this home
cooking technique. Many leftovers can be reheated in this simplest of
ways. Say you had a couple of cooked chicken thighs, or some pork
cutlets. Start the pot of rice, put the leftovers on top when you
cover it and turn it down. By the time the rice is cooked the meat
will be hot from the gentle steaming action. Better than the
microwave and predates it by a few thousand years. -aem
