Think about how it would be your life without a microwave: goodbye to quick hot coffees, bye to your everyday lunch box in the office, no more microwave popcorn on a Saturday night… The microwave has found a place to stay in the kitchen, but most of the times we don’t really know the many advantages this appliance has. So take a look at these hacks to find other uses for your microwave:

Crispy food

If your French fries are not as crispy as they were a few minutes ago or you want to add some bacon to your burger, your microwave is here to help again.

Repeat this process with 30 seconds intervals if you want it crispier.

A real Caffe Latte

If you dream about that creamy coffee with froth, we have good news for you: yes, you can do it with your microwave. Just fill a glass jar with whole milk, shake it, and put it into the microwave for 30 seconds, high power, without the lid. Check If the froth is too much and stop it before you see a milk tsunami inside the appliance.

End of the rebel tomatoes

Tomatoes can be hard to handle if we want to peel them. But there is no resistant peel for a microwave. Just heat tomatoes inside for 30 seconds and peel them will be easier.…victory!
