<\/p>\nA flight attendant has explained how she heats up her food on-board the plane without using an oven or microwave. While many of us have enjoyed hot food on a plane the methods of heating it up aren\u2019t like those of normal kitchens.<\/p>\n
Usually, the cabin crew will heat up plane meals using a specialised convection oven that uses hot air. The dishes are already prepped before being loaded onto the plane and stored in special trays to be heated.<\/p>\n
However, it seems flight attendants can\u2019t always use these special ovens and some planes may not even have them if they don\u2019t offer hot meals. So, a flight attendant has explained how she heats up her dinner while working at 35,000ft \u2013 and you might be surprised.<\/p>\n

Jade Naomi, a lifestyle vlogger and flight attendant, posted a video clip to TikTok, @jadenaomii1, to show how she heats up her spaghetti dinner on the plane with "no oven [and] no microwave". However, her fans were horrified by the tactic which they said seemed like a "jail" cooking hack.<\/p>\n
Naomi said: "We back at it again with some airplane shenanigans. Y'all know we have no ovens, we don\u2019t even have a microwave on these planes. So we have to make do."<\/p>\n
Showing how she heats up her Tupperware full of pasta, Naomi poured hot water from the coffee pot into a bin bag. She then placed the box inside and fastened the top of the bin liner and placed that inside of another bin bag.<\/p>\n
She said: "So we brew some water, put the Tupperware in the hot water and tie it up. Let it sit for about 30 minutes." She placed the bagged water inside a metal drawer in the galley and said it could be there for as long as 45 minutes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Naomi continued: "We put it in there to keep it hot. After like 45 minutes we take it out, It\u2019s like eating a hot meal. Most of the time we have cold meals so having a hot meal when you\u2019re in this lifestyle is like a blessing."<\/p>\n
The video quickly gathered attention and commenters were shocked at the extreme lengths the cabin crew has to go to to heat up their meals. One person joked: "Y\u2019all been to jail."<\/p>\n

Another said: "Girl I wouldn\u2019t even be hungry no more". A third added: "This how we cook in jail, y\u2019all are in jail, welcome."<\/p>\n
Other cabin crew pointed out that this was not the method used on all planes. One woman said: "This is jail behavior. This video does not represent all airlines."<\/p>\n
Others said they asked gate agents to heat up their food when they stopped while some noted that other planes did have ovens the crew could use.<\/p>\n
However, some crew members said they would "use this trick" when flying. So, be nice to your flight attendants \u2013 they might be heating up their meal in a bin bag!<\/p>\n
