One of the most important things about being a single guy and trying to cook is understanding the value of leftovers. Not only eating leftovers but how to make leftovers not taste craptastic.
I don’t have the desire or the time to cook every single day, but I can handle cooking every few days and then reheating food when I’m ready to eat. I just find it disgusting when food is leftover and it looks like crap as well as tastes like it when you get it heated.
One of the best tips I’ve gotten is to avoid using the microwave. The microwave does not cook to enrich flavor, it cooks to heat quickly – big difference.
Instead, try warming up leftovers in an oven (kinda sucks because it’s slow) or in a pan (be extremely careful not to burn whatever you’re warming). Much better results than the microwave.
