I think this might be my wife's problem, she sez the microwave gives meat a flavor when reheating, I reckon this might be what it is, I cant tell it any different but she can.
When I was a kid I remember how things tasted different when reheated in or on the stove. Now all I notice are slight textural changes with the microwave (we have two)."reheated taste"
Which is why I vac seal and sous vide my leftovers.....Mike and Denny nailed it. Other than heavily Sauced, with Gravy or in Liquid, Meat gets destroyed in the Microwave. Reheating a Hamburger, hunk of Beef or Pork Chops in the microwave gives a horrible, Freezer Burned like flavor, to me...JJ
You are right with the textural changes also - leftover mashed taters bite! - I will only eat them as potato pancakes w/sauteed onions.When I was a kid I remember how things tasted different when reheated in or on the stove.

Had a long conversation today with a friend that is a smoke and (true) bbq expert.I think your wife and mine are twins. Mine has such a dislike for some types of bbq leftovers she doesn’t even want the in the kitchen when the reheat..........

He said the air fryer is an excellent reheat source for q. Never tried one as I don't own one.
Anything is better than the microwave
I’ve always been that way. It definitely has to do with the smoke desensitizing your taste buds.
