Reheat gravy in the microwave by transferring it to a microwave-safe container. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Heat on medium power (50%) for 1-minute intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches the desired temperature. Avoid overheating to prevent separation or burning. Stir well before serving to ensure smooth consistency.
