Contrary to popular belief, there is a microwave hack that prevents food from being ruined when you microwave it.
This trick allows your food to remain moist as you reheat it – and it is as simple as placing a cup of water in the microwave alongside your leftovers.

The water absorbs excess microwave radiation and keeps your food from overcooking.
The trick also keeps your food from drying out.
