Tips for heating up your meal in the microwave

You may not be a fan of the microwave, but when you're in a hurry, the microwave is the answer. With these tips you will warm up your clique and it will stay nice.

1. Turn the food in between
A microwave does not heat your food evenly. It is not so nice to suddenly take a cold bite, you also run the risk that if there were bacteria in the food, they have not been killed. Heat your food well and toss it in between.

2. Add two tablespoons of water
Vegetables, potatoes, fish and meat tend to become dry when heated in the microwave. You prevent this by adding two tablespoons of water.

3. Use a microwave lid
A lid keeps the moisture in the food and doesn't dry out your meal. If you cover your meal with plastic, only use plastic that is suitable for the microwave.

4. Make the portions smaller
Small and flat portions heat up faster than large portions.

5. Follow the instructions on the packaging
Eating a ready-to-eat microwave meal? Read the instructions. Do you have to leave your meal for a few minutes after heating? Don't be stubborn, it is necessary to heat the dish thoroughly.
