"The microwave is widely considered the best way to revive stale donuts. Krispy Kreme recommends doing it for just 8 seconds. That's all it takes to make the dough soft and chewy while melting the glaze without making it so hot that it can burn you."
"The butter adds a silky, rich new dimension to the already delicious donut, making it a little more moist and adding a hint of complementary saltiness."
"Getting your butter-to-donut ratio perfected takes some skill. Ideally, use softened butter and smear three equally spaced small pats on the donut's surface, but don't try to spread it on the donut."
Warming glazed donuts in the microwave for 8 seconds revives their freshness, making them soft and chewy. Adding a small amount of salted butter before heating enhances the flavor, creating a rich, moist experience. The butter melts and mixes with the glaze, soaking into the donut. For optimal results, use softened butter in small dollops, ensuring it doesn't slide off. This technique works best with glazed donuts, and a sprinkle of nutmeg can further elevate the flavor.
