A KITCHEN guru has claimed that she knows the correct way to microwave your food to ensure it doesn’t dry out.
Katie Lokas (@lady.lolas) says most people are just realising the easy and simple hack.
Posting on her TikTok channel, she suggests that you should place a glass of water in the microwave alongside your food.
According to experts, the water will absorb excess microwave radiation and keep your food from overcooking.
Plus, it will release steam, which will also keep your food from drying out.
“It’s a simple as that, no more dry leftovers,” Katie captioned the post.
Previously, a TikTok mum suggested that most people are using their microwave wrong due to a common mistake.
Christina (@glamfarmhouse), who shares all things parenting and DIY hacks on TikTok, claimed the right of your food placement makes all the difference.
"Did you know that when you're heating something in the microwave, such as soup, to not put right in the middle,” she told her followers.
''You want to put it on the side.''
Christina then went on to explain the reason: ''That way whenever it is rotating in the microwave as it is heating, it is getting evenly heated.''
This easy swap, she claimed, means that foodies won't be left with ''spotches of cold spots''.
Shocked by the discovery, internet users ran to thank the parent.
''Finally, 10,000 hours of TikTok and I finally found one piece of useful information!!!!'' a person exclaimed.
''Life changing information,'' another added.
Someone else penned: ''Been doing this for years, it makes sense if you understand how microwaves work.''
A fourth wrote: ''It’s true people. The actual microwaves do not move uniformly so the more your food travels the better.''
