An Australian fitness coach has just blown minds with a bizarre yet genius way to reheat leftover pizza.

Bec Hardgrave, from Queensland, dunks her slices in water before throwing it in the air fryer.

Sharing the method on social media, Bec explained that while it might feel completely wrong, the results speak for themselves.

‘If you dunk your pizza in water before air-frying or microwaving it, it turns out just as fresh as when you bought it,’ she revealed.

To test the hack, Bec dipped a slice into water and popped it into her air fryer for three minutes.

When she took a bite, she was shocked.

‘What the hell? It lowkey tastes exactly as it did last night – fresh from the box!’ she said.

‘The crush is definitely crispier.’

Aussies were divided, with many horrified at the thought of soaking their pizza before reheating it.

‘This seems illegal,’ one person commented.

‘There’s no way I can bring myself to do this. Even knowing it’ll be fine in the air fryer, I just can’t,’ another wrote.

Others suggested less extreme methods, like flicking a bit of water onto the pizza instead of dunking it or placing a glass of water in the microwave while reheating.

‘I use a fry-pan – heat the base first, then add a little water and put the lid on. It steams the cheese perfectly,’ one savvy home cook shared.

Another dietitian recently revealed the four common foods that should never be reheated in the microwave. 

If you’ve ever opened your fridge, grabbed some leftovers, and popped them into the microwave, you may have been putting yourself at severe risk without even knowing it – or completely ruining the dish.

According to nutritionist Amanda Holtzer, from New Jersey, there are some popular foods that many people don’t realise are dangerous to heat up in the microwave.

In addition, she said there are many products that are perfectly safe to warm in a microwave, however, doing so might mess up their taste or texture.

Thankfully, the dietitian broke down all of the food items that you should avoid putting in the microwave to Fox News.

First, she explained that hard-boiled eggs are a big no-no when it comes to heating in a microwave.

Why? Well, they can actually explode when you bite into them due to built-up pressure, which can lead to potential burns. 

‘Never microwave a hard-boiled egg,’ she warned. ‘Doing so causes steam and pressure to build in the egg white – and can lead to an eruption when the egg is cut into.

‘This eruption can happen in the microwave, on your plate or, frighteningly, in your mouth when you bite into the egg.’ 

She also advised against putting any food items that are rich in vitamin C, like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and potatoes, into the microwave.

‘When exposed to heat, vitamin C is degraded and destroyed,’ she explained.

‘To maintain the integrity of the vitamin C in these foods, I recommend consuming them raw as often as possible.’ 

Next on Amanda’s list was chicken, as she said reheating it can result in it having an ‘off taste and texture.’

She dished, ‘When chicken is stored in the refrigerator after cooking, the fats in the meat can oxidise, which can change the chemical structure of the chicken and therefore the taste.

‘Then, when reheated, any moisture that was in the chicken evaporates, thus leaving you with chicken that has both an off taste and texture.’ 

She also said it’s not ideal to microwave fish, as the high temperature can ’cause the moisture in fish to evaporate, resulting in a very dry, rubbery texture.’
