Best way to reheat a roast dinner

Having friends over for lunch tomorrow, but due to work my friends dh can't join us until later. I am planning on plating up a dinner and reheating it for him, but this isn't something I've ever done before.

Is microwave the best way? Just worried it will all go soggy?

If it was on a plate I’d put tinfoil over it and put it in the oven. Put the gravy on the hob so it’s piping hot.

I eat left over roast dinner every Monday lunchtime at work. Tuppenware box microwave 5mins shake half way through. Yorkshire goes q bit soft rest no difference

Have you got an air fryer? I plate up and microwave all the veg then air fry the roasties parsnip Yorkshires and stuffing so they’re crispy

i second this, rosties lose crispness. Defo put gravy over meat or put it in stock to reheat, keeps the moisture

im now getting lamb out of freezer! Youve got me craving

Split it so anything that should be crispy goes in the oven in foil then take foil off for last 5/10 minutes. Everything else in microwave

Microwave and fresh gravy (instant bisto best is fine)

This is how my step dad keeps his adult son's meal hot when he does a no show. Also how he delivers it to me when I am working too hard. I live about 20 mins away, he still deilvers it if I can't come to sunday dinner 😅 I am his adult step daughter. If i cant come to dinner, he or my mum will deliver it to me. Super cute.
