Reheated rice becomes dry and unpalatable, ruining meal prep and leftovers

Home cooks and meal preppers struggle with reheated rice turning dry, hard, and unappetizing, making leftovers inedible and forcing them to waste food or cook fresh rice daily. Current reheating methods (microwave, stovetop) lack consistency and require trial-and-error techniques that don't reliably restore moisture. This is a recurring frustration for anyone trying to meal prep efficiently or reduce food waste.
