My roommate swore eating cold leftover pasta with a fork was fine, I proved her wrong

She said just shove the whole container in the microwave for 2 minutes and it'd be good. Last night at 2am I tried it her way and got a rubbery, dried out mess that stuck to the bowl. Now I always add a splash of water before zapping leftovers, has anyone else dealt with that instant regret?

Ha, I used to be the same way. Just nuke it and hope for the best. Then I tried the splash of water trick and yeah, never going back.

Wait, are you actually saying that works better than just microwaving it normally? I gotta say @ray_king, I tried that water splash thing a few times and it just made my leftovers soggy and gross. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I swear the texture comes out way worse every single time. I still just hit the button and take my chances with a cold center. Seems simpler to me, even if it isn't perfect.
