Keep Food Warm Until You’re Ready To Eat [A photo of someone putting plates in a microwave.]( Use this hack to keep part of a meal warm until the rest is ready. Unless it’s a meal that I’ve been making for decades, I’m rarely able to finish all the elements of a meal at the same time. It’s not a problem with something like rice that can keep itself warm for a while, but other foods can end up stone cold by the time the rest of the meal is ready to eat. Luckily, there’s an easy way to keep those quick-cooling foods warm while you finish up the rest of a meal—put your food on a warm plate. You can warm plates in your microwave for a minute or two, or in your oven at 150°F for 10-15 minutes (or at its lowest temperature, if your oven doesn’t go that low). Keep in mind that heavier plates will retain heat longer than lighter ones will. YESTERDAY'S GOOD THING [Photos of easy homemade caramel sauce.]( [Love Caramel?
