To avoid the stale, musty smell when reheating food<\/a> in humid weather, store leftovers in airtight containers, use short reheating bursts with moisture-retaining covers, and rely on appliances with deodorizer or convection features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know the feeling. You\u2019ve saved yesterday\u2019s biryani or paneer curry, only to find that when you reheat it, the aroma isn\u2019t the same. Sometimes it smells heavy, even a bit stale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
