How to properly reheat food in a microwave: no more situations where the dish is warm in one place and not in another

A microwave oven saves a lot of time and energy for the housewife, who does not need to wash a pot or frying pan in addition to the plates.

However, sometimes it happens that you take a hot plate out of the microwave and the food on it is still cold. Or, what is worse, when the dish is heated unevenly.

To avoid such oddities, use the following tips.

Place the plate correctly

It is believed that the plate with food should be placed in the center of the stand installed in the microwave oven, but in fact this is not true.

Try placing the plate closer to the edge of the turntable and you will immediately notice the difference.

Distribute food evenly

To ensure that your dish remains warm throughout, take a responsible approach to its distribution in the container – all the products on the plate should be laid out evenly.

Choose the right cookware

Remember that not all dishes are suitable for use in a microwave oven. And while everyone is familiar with the ban on metal plates and dishes with gold patterns on them, the requirement not to put thin glass dishes in the microwave has, alas, not received such wide recognition.
