Here are some awesome ways to make the most out of your microwave beyond just heating food:
1. Reviving Stale Bread: If your bread has lost its freshness, a short spin in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel can bring it back to life.
2. Decrystallizing Honey: Don't let crystallized honey go to waste - a brief stint in the microwave can restore its smooth texture.
3. Drying Herbs: Dry fresh herbs quickly by placing them between paper towels and microwaving in short bursts until they're crispy.
4. Peeling Garlic: Microwave garlic cloves for about 15 seconds to loosen the skin, making peeling much easier.
5. Soften Brown Sugar: If your brown sugar has hardened, place a damp paper towel in the container and microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften it.
6. DIY Beauty Treatments: Warm up a damp towel in the microwave for a spa-like experience at home, perfect for facials or relaxing moments.
