Hmmm...  But isn't this what microwaves are for?  In my
experience 60-90 seconds in my microwave (which may be
a bit underpowered) heats things back up to a very
nice temperature without overcooking them.

I would assume that one could develop a system whereby
one develops an approach of slight undercooking by normal
methods, deposits the food on the plate, sticks it in
the microwave to reheat at low power providing sufficient
time to do the dishes followed by sitting down with a
hot meal and the satisfaction that the dishes are done.
Of course the timing of this may vary with the specific
dish contents but if we used the collective ExI experience
I'm sure we could work out dozens of ExI dishes where
when you sit down to eat one knows the cleaning
of the tools for preparation is complete.

This may only work for 1-2 people rather than for families
since most microwaves may not be large enough to hold
4+ plates.
