In the video, she shows how she uses the tissue box cover to form a seal over the food, and then uses the hairdryer to warm it up inside.
She said: "No microwave in your hotel room? I got you.
"Take your tissue box, take the tissues out of the box, put the box over your food."
"Then, you're going to take your hairdryer, turn her on, and your food is going to be heated up."
