refire

Heat once more

To refire is to fire again.

A kiln refires pottery for additional glazing or to correct flaws.

A gun refires after reloading.

An engine that stalls and restarts has refired.

In restaurants, to refire an order is to prepare it again because the first attempt was wrong or sat too long: Table six needs their steak refired—they wanted medium rare, not well done.
