reheats
Restores leftover temperature
Reheats is the verb form meaning to heat something again, typically food that has already been cooked and cooled.
She reheats yesterday's pizza in the microwave.
As a noun, reheats refers to food items being warmed up a second time, or in aviation, to afterburners that inject fuel into jet exhaust for additional thrust.
The term carries a slight connotation of diminished quality compared to freshly prepared food.
