Why does refrigerated food taste better after microwaving it?

Question

It seems the taste of the food changes after microwaving. How is this?

Answer 1

Uh, food out of the fridge is cold, food out of the micro. is hot.  Obvious changes have occurred.  Basic science and all of that which I'm sure someone much brighter than me can shed light on.

Answer 2

heating up food brings out the flavors from the oils, sauces and herbs when you heat it up by microwaving or other methods.
