Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

KITCHEN HACKS

Give leftovers new life

Wait, don’t toss that extra rice, pizza toppings, or grilled chicken! Instead of throwing leftovers in the trash, get savvy about how to repurpose extra bits and pieces into other meals like casseroles and frittatas.

Reheat pizza and other baked goods without drying them out

When reheating pizza or baked goods, place a cup of water in the microwave alongside them to add moisture to the air (therefore keeping the food from drying out).

Keep birthday cake fresh for days

Dug into a cake and didn’t finish the whole thing? Save it from drying out by securing a slice of bread to the exposed portions with toothpicks. The bread holds in the cake’s moisture.

Reheat pasta in the microwave the right way

Reheating a giant blob of sauced spaghetti can get tricky — somehow it always ends up sizzling around the perimeter, ice cold in the middle.

For even warming, shape leftover pasta into a donut (with a hole in the middle) on a plate.

Reheat bread in the microwave without producing hockey pucks

Much like tip number 52, the key to reheating already cooked foods is to add some moisture. When it comes to bread, set the microwave to a low power setting, and drape the rolls or buns with a moist paper towel.

and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
