3 Methods for Reheating Stuffing

STOVETOP
3-5 minutes

OVEN
35-40 minutes

MICROWAVE
3-5 minutes

WHAT YOU’LL NEED…

For Stovetop Method:

  • Olive Oil or Butter

  • Cast Iron or Heavy Bottom Pan

For Oven Method:

  • Foil

  • Oven-safe Baking Dish

  • Broth (as needed)

For Microwave Method:

  • Microwave-safe Dish

  • Broth (as needed)

METHOD 1: STOVETOP

The stovetop method will yield the crispiest results and is also the one of the fastest methods.

  • Add an extra drizzle of oil or pat of butter into the pan first for some extra moisture.

  • Cook over medium heat until the bread is golden-brown and warm, 3–5 minutes.

METHOD 2: OVEN

The oven method may be your best bet if you’re reheating a large amount of stuffing.

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and transfer the stuffing to an oven-safe dish.

  • Add a splash of broth if it seems dry (optional).

  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake again until crisp, 15–20 minutes.

METHOD 3: MICROWAVE

If you’re in a pinch for time, you could always reheat your stuffing in the microwave.

  • Transfer the stuffing to a microwave-safe dish.

  • Add a splash of broth if it seems dry (optional).

  • Microwave on medium power until hot, stirring every minute or so to ensure that the stuffing reheats evenly, 3-5 minutes.

NOTE: Have you frozen your leftover stuffing to save for a rainy day? You can easily warm up frozen stuffing in the oven — there's no need to even thaw it first! Simply follow the same directions as when you're reheating regular stuffing in the oven, but you'll want to keep it in the oven for longer. Heat the oven to 350°F and transfer the dish to an oven-safe dish, then cover with foil and bake until the stuffing is warmed throughout. Depending on how much stuffing you're reheating, this can take up to an hour. Then, uncover and cook an additional 15–20 minutes until crisp.
