Avilla's advice was threefold:
1. Put your dish on the edge of the rotating surface vs. in the middle so that it can fully rotate around and ensure that the food gets cooked evenly.
2. Save time and cook two things at once by adding a bowl or mug underneath the dish to create additional height and more surface area.
3. To reheat pasta or pizza, she suggests adding a cup of water to release moisture which stops the carbs from getting overly chewy or hard.
