1. Reheat rice 1.热米饭 Microwaving old rice used to mean hard and dried out starch. Change that by placing an ice cube in the center of the rice and then wrapping the top with plastic wrap, with a few punctures of course, before reheating it. 微波炉热的剩饭总是又硬又干一坨淀粉。改变一下吧，在米饭中间放一块冰块，然后盖上保鲜膜，当然，加热之前还要在保鲜膜上戳几个孔。 2.

Ladle them out after a few seconds and you'll find excess fat clinging to them. 熬汤煮羹时想去除油脂，丢几块冰块在温热但不烫的汤里就可以。几秒之后把冰块盛出来，你就会发现冰块上附着多余油脂。 4. Remove chewing gum 4.擦掉口香糖 Gum on your table or carpet?
