Amazing microwave functions that will surprise you😮

The microwave in our kitchen is definitely one of the most convenient and practical small appliances! It helps us save time, energy, and the trouble of washing a bunch of dishes. However, if you only use the microwave to heat up meals, drinks, make popcorn, or cook instant noodles late at night, then you are not using its full potential! Today, I will share with you 7 amazing uses of microwaves, which will definitely open your eyes and make your life easier and more comfortable.

1. Homemade crispy nuts🌰

Whether you need to use roasted nuts for cooking or just want to have them as a snack, the microwave can help you roast nuts to make them fragrant and crispy. Take a plate, pour half a teaspoon of vegetable oil or rapeseed oil, and spread about a cup of nuts on the plate. Heat in the microwave every one minute, and remember to stir in between. Continue for 3-8 minutes, until you can taste the roasted aroma of nuts.

2. Save dry bread🥪

Don't throw away the bread if it's a little dry and hard. Wrap the whole loaf or sliced ​​bread with a wet kitchen towel and put it in the microwave for 10 seconds. If you feel it's not moist enough, repeat it a few more times to make the bread "rejuvenated" immediately.

3. Disinfect cutting boards and toys🦠

After washing the cutting board, wipe the cutting side with lemon, and then put it in the microwave for one minute to completely disinfect it. Similarly, wipe the surface of children's or dog toys with lemon and microwave for one minute to disinfect them. But remember that microwave ovens and metals cannot "coexist in the same room"!

4. Revitalize dried mascara👁️

If the mascara is dry or clumping, don't rush to buy new ones. Heat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and it will become smooth and easy to apply again, easily saving money on buying a new mascara.

5. Quick scrambled eggs 🥚

If you are short on time in the morning and don’t have time to slowly make breakfast, but don’t want to miss the most important meal of the day, the microwave can be a big help. Beat the eggs, pour them into a mug, add some milk, salt, pepper, and other ingredients you like to add to the scrambled eggs. Microwave for 45 seconds, take it out and stir it, then microwave it for another 45 seconds, and a delicious breakfast is easily done.

6. Drying herbs 🌿

If you want to wait for fresh herbs to slowly dry naturally into fragrant dried herbs, you have to wait a long time. Just put the herbs on a paper towel and microwave for a few minutes. Remember to turn them over halfway and keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn or burn.

7. Homemade additive-free potato chips🍟

If you don’t want to eat those messy additives in packaged potato chips, you can easily make your own in the microwave at home. Cut the potatoes into thin slices, spread them on a microwave-safe plate, brush them with olive oil, and heat for 3-5 minutes until they become crispy. After cooling, you can enjoy the delicious taste!
