How do you heat it properly?

Heating something properly is like giving it a warm hug from all sides.

Imagine you're baking cookies, if you only put them near one side of the oven, they’ll be crispy on that side but still soft and cold on the other. That’s not fair! To make sure everything gets warm, we need to heat it evenly.

Heat can move in a few ways:

• Radiation: Like when you sit near a fire, you feel the warmth without touching it.
• Conduction: When you hold a hot cup, the heat travels through the cup into your hand.
• Convection: Hot air rises and cold air sinks, like when soup bubbles on the stove.

If you're heating something in the kitchen, using an oven helps because it heats from all around. A pan on the stove is good for conduction, that’s when heat moves through a solid object. If you’re boiling water, that’s convection at work, the hot water rises and cooler water takes its place.

So whether you're baking, cooking, or just warming up your hands, making sure the heat reaches all parts is like giving everything a warm, fair hug!
