My dad told me to put a bowl of water in the microwave when reheating pizza
He said it for years and I always thought it was silly, but my leftover slices kept coming out tough. Last night I tried it with a cup of water next to the plate for 45 seconds. The crust was actually soft and the cheese melted perfectly instead of turning to rubber. I guess he knew what he was talking about after all. What other old kitchen tricks actually work like this?

Oh man, that water trick is a game changer. My grandma always said to put a wet paper towel over leftover rice before microwaving it, works the same way to keep it from drying out.

Yeah, that wet paper towel trick is a must for rice. I also put a damp one over baked goods to bring them back to life.
